WWE SmackDown Live: Results, Review, and Grades for December 18th

Here comes Miz doing whatever he’s going to do to make Vince McMahon happy… I’m still not exactly sure what.

Oh, it’s a mixed tag match. That wasn’t even slightly clear in the initial segment. Anyway, his partner is Maaaan-dyyy.

These too are facing R Truth and Carmella. Mandy and Carmella lock up first. Carmella takes a spin with a headscissor around Mandy. There’s a quick dance break, but Miz hits the Skull Crushing Finale on Truth to get the win.

This one doesn’t really qualify for a grade.

Oh, so Mustafa Ali is permanently on SmackDown! What a Christmas wish, am I right?

Back from commercial, The Usos make their way out to the ring to say that no matter what, The Usos are still the toughest tag team on the blue brand. They didn’t get pinned, and they’ve still got the belts on their mind. They want The Bar, and they’d like them, y’know, right now.

Out, however, come the Good Brothers, Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows. They remind us that they have been overshadowed by the same three tag teams for four months, and they’re ready for a change too. I for one am not complaining.

The Usos vs. Gallows and Anderson

We find these two right after the commercial, where Anderson has had Jimmy Uso in a headlock for a bit. Jimmy’s beginning to power out, but Anderson swings Jimmy into the GB’s corner, and Gallows gets tagged in. Gallows gets Jimmy in that same headlock, until Jimmy powers out. and Gallows gets wrapped tightly along the ropes, SOMEHOW.

Jey finally gets tagged in, along with Anderson. Anderson lands a neckbreaker before a pin attempt, but Jey kicks out. Gallows gets tagged in, and lands a huge spinebuster on Jey.

Anderson stomps Jey on the apron, leaving him slumped over the ropes. I was in the kitchen getting a cookie, so I missed a bit, but when I return Anderson appears to be attempting a superplex on Jimmy, before they fall off and Jimmy superkicks Anderson twice.

Out come The Bar! Oh… and then Sanity? Alright, that’s on brand! The match DQ’s, and Sanity attacks everyone. The Bar gets a few kicks in, and the heels all stand strong.

Grade: I mean, I love tag teams, man. The more, the merrier.
