WWE SmackDown Results September 25th, 2020: Latest Friday Night SmackDown Winners, Grades, Video Highlights

That's all from me, folks! Don't forget about Smack Talk here on SK and everyone have a great weekend!

I'll see you on Wednesday!

Results:
Lacey Evans defeats Alexa Bliss via DQ
King Corbin defeats Matt Riddle
Shinsuke Nakamura defeats Gran Metalik
Sami Zayn defeats Jeff Hardy and AJ Styles

That.... was a pretty good SmackDown, to be honest. Let's take a look at the match results....

Saw that coming... Roman heads to the back and then runs back out and attacks him.

Boy, Roman is a good heel, who would have predicted THAT? /s

Jay is essentially "Why NOT me, Uce?"

This match has just gotten extra intense.

Roman is in the ring, and Jay Uso comes out to confront him.

Reigns tells Jay that he would give him the Universal Championship if he could, but Uso can't handle the responsibility.

Look up Reigns's promo up on YouTube when WWE posts it. It's INCREDIBLE.

OH YEAH! Don't forget to check out Sportskeeda's awesome post-show tonight, Smack Talk, with my fellow Cincinnati native Rick Ucchino and Denise Salcedo! It's going to be.... dope? That's what the kids say, right?

That ruled! Got some serious Ghostbuster vibes from that Alexa performance. I'll explain coming up in 10 minutes as @_denisesalcedo and I present Smack Talk on the @SKProWrestling Facebook and YouTube channel! #SmackDown

As Alexa heads to the back, Roman Reigns and Paul Heyman come out. While Roman stops to show everybody that he has a belt, Alexa stops and stares at him. FORESHADOWING!

Bliss attacks Evans without remorse to the point where the ref has to call the match

RESULT: Lacey Evans defeats Alexa Bliss via DQ

Evans has been, as Michael Cole just put it, putting on a clinic - she's had almost total control in this matchy although Alexa has clearly been selling her distracted state of mind as part of the angle she's in.

Evans goes for a moonsault and MISSES!

And suddenly The Fiend's music plays. AND BLISS IS NOW GOING CrAZy

Is HE here? #SmackDown pic.twitter.com/skIreVkSFq

Evans vs Bliss really does put into sharp relief just how not tall Bliss is.

uh oh. Bray Wyatt laughter fills the arena and Alexa is scared.

So, let's, you know, go to a commercial.

Bliss and Evans kick things off, and Alexa goes for two roll-ups.

Tomorrow morning on #TalkingSmack!

Riddle is being interviewed and lets us all know that losing sucks but he's not gonna lose that much anymore! YEAH!

Corbin goes for End of Days but Riddle flips out of it and hits a knee!

Riddle then goes for a moonsault but Corbin gets his knees up. END OF DAYS!

RESULT: King Corbin defeats Matt Riddle

Corbin with a DEEP SIX on Riddle... but STILL only gets a 2 count!

Is Baron Corbin in.... a good match?

Corbin hits the ropes, readying himself for a clothesline but Riddle collapses to the mat.

But he's FAKING! Corbin picks him up and knees him right in the head.

Ad break over and Riddle's got Corbin in a triangle arm lock, but the King turns it into a powerbomb and gets loose.

Bro. @SuperKingofBros is about to knock off King @BaronCorbinWWE.

We're serious, Bro. #SmackDown pic.twitter.com/SvyMB02Zti

Corbin nearly gets a pinfall on Riddle after taking full control of the match for the past few minutes.....

But Riddle isn't having it, and tosses Corbin into the announce table.... and it's commercial time.

Sharp, sharp! The King! The King! #SmackDown @BaronCorbinWWE pic.twitter.com/axkPbE1NWI

Here comes King Corbin.... and Riddle charges him into the corner before the match even begins! Don't tick off the Bro.

Match time! Here comes Matt Riddle, the Original Bro - that's right, there were no other bros ever before Matt Riddle came around - as magic giant CGI flip-flops hover over the ring.

Following the Jay Uso/Paul Heyman "confrontation", we get into the Matt Riddle/Baron Corbin feud.

You wanna hear from @WWERomanReigns??

You will... when the #UniversalChampion wants to talk.#SmackDown @WWEUsos @HeymanHustle pic.twitter.com/J51sQA62wQ

Jay Uso - who takes on his cousin Roman Reigns for the WWE Universal Championship this Sunday - comes to the ring to discuss said match

Is the party over?@LuchadorLD @KalistoWWE @WWEGranMetalik #SmackDown pic.twitter.com/BqRwm0NJXX

After Cesaro attacks Lince Dorado while Dorado is checking on Metalik, Dorado shoves Kalisto to the mat and helps Metalik to the back. Kalisto is incredulous.

That's a word. I looked it up before I typed it.

Kinshasa on Grandma and Shinsuke gets the win.

Result: Shinsuke Nakamura defeats Gran Metalik

I hear "Gran Metalik" and I just think of some British person's grandmother who happens to be named Metalik.

Shinsuke has held the advantage since the bell, presumably because Metalik has been distracted by Shinsuke's stupid outfit.

Gran Metalik will be facing Shinsuke Nakamura in just a moment here. But, before we get into that...

Shinsuke... seriously... what are you wearing? Just.... honey, no.... just don't.... don't do that

Admit it, you also look at your cousins this way. #SmackDown pic.twitter.com/9UvLUUby2E
