SmackDown Results: Former NXT Superstar challenges Charlotte; Two superstars removed from Survivor Series teams

Ridge Holland was backstage on SmackDown and said that Sheamus showed him the way to WWE before Cesaro joined him. The Swiss Cyborg told Holland that Sheamus was a lot different now than he was before and might not take the former NXT Superstar up on his offer.

Ridge told the Swiss Superman that he and Sheamus would be a far better team than The Bar and the Celtic Warrior would be back next week.

Roman Reigns vs. King Woods on SmackDown

Woods drove Reigns out of the ring and into the announce desk with a dropkick through the ropes. Back in the ring, Roman took Woods out with a single right hook and hit a Uranage on the announcer's desk before we headed for a break.

Back on SmackDown, Reigns got a near fall off a big boot before Woods got a big kick on the ropes and a DDT before both men went down. Woods hit a heel kick for a near fall before The King went up top but Reigns caught him with a right hook and another Uranage off the dive.

Woods sent Reigns into the ring post before hitting a coast to coast! Woods was about to pick up the win but The Usos attacked him and dragged him out, sending Woods into the steel steps and over the announcer's desk.

Result: DNF

Woods was down and The Usos grabbed his crown and placed it on Roman's head before The Bloodline celebrated in the ring with the new, questionable King.

Grade: B
