WWE FRIDAY NIGHT SMACKDOWN SPOILERS FOR 2/23

By John Shepherd on 2024-02-17 00:17:00

Smackdown spoilers for next week. 

Liv Morgan vs. Tiffany Stratton: Bianca Belair was at ringside. Tiffany wins with a cradle after Liv and Bianca collide. 

Bron Breakker vs, an unnanounced opponent (Dante Chen): Bron wins in a squash. I didn't see the finish because I turned my head for five seconds.

Dominik Mysterio & JD McDonough vs. Tyler Bate & Pete Dunne: Bate & Dunne win with a double power bomb on JD. Post match, Finn Balor and Damian Priest come out and try to attack, but Bate & Dunne slide out, get away, and hit Dom & JD in the entryway on their way to the back. 

Street Profits w B-Fab & Bobby Lashley vs. Authors Of Pain w Paul Ellering, Scarlett, & Karrion Kross: AOP win with the power bomb/neckbreaker combo. Kross pushed Montez Ford off the top leading to the pin. Lashley attacked Kross after he interfered, but Kross smashed Lashley's elbow into the post a couple of times and then hit the arm with a chair while it was against the post. 

LA Knight vs. Drew McIntyre: Reunion of The Rising, just missing Micah! Before the match starts, Logan Paul comes out for commentary. Aboutbl five minutes into the match, Kevin Owens comes from the back and joins commentary. There was no announced decision. Drew was thrown into Logan, then Knight was thrown into Owens, Owens attacks Drew. Then KO, LA, Drew, and Logan all fight in the ring. Bobby Lashley, with his elbow taped, comes out from the back and spears everyone except Drew, who hits a claymore on Lashley. Then Randy Orton comes from somewhere that I didn't see and hits Drew with an RKO out of nowhere to end the show. 

Random thoughts:

I think WWE might have fumbled things. Nowhere in local advertising did they announce that they would be taping next week's Smackdown The ring announcer did announce this at 5:30pm, just before they taped the Speed matches, but there were a lot of people that werent in the arena yet. As The Rock was leaving ringside, there were a lot people leaving the arena in and around my section. The family next to me was about to leave when I told them they were taping next week tonight and to stick around. After Rock made it to the back, the ring announcer did mention that there were additional matches being taped for next week tonight and some people came back, but the entire row in front of and behind were emptied out.
