WWE SmackDown Ends As Randy Orton Stands Tall Amid Chaos
The main event of WWE SmackDown tonight was in direct correlation to tomorrow’s number one contender’s clash for the Undisputed WWE championship at Saturday Night’s Main Event.
The match will see Sami Zayn, Trick Williams, Damian Priest, and Randy Orton take each other on as they look to challenge Drew McIntyre at the Royal Rumble next week. Priest and Trick faced each other in the main event tonight.
The two got into an argument backstage last week, leading to their match tonight. They both interrupted Sami Zayn’s opening segment tonight, which erupted into a huge brawl between all three of them.
Trick and Priest got the main event underway with some hard-hitting action, shortly after which Sami Zayn made his way down the ring as he studied his opponents for tomorrow night.

Trick pushed the former World Heavyweight Champion all the way and came close to winning on numerous occasions. He hit Preist with a flapjack on the announce table and shoved him into an unprovoking Sami Zayn.
Zayn didn’t take kindly to the attack and he jumped Trick in the ring, plumeling him with kicks and punches. Priest, annoyed that the match got thrown, then got into another brawl with Zayn.

He took Zayn out but Trick took advantage of the situation once again and hit a massive Trick shot on Priest to stand tall in the ring, or so he thought. As he was celebrating, he was struck with an RKO by the Viper, Randy Orton, who ended the night on top. He got into a heated conversation with Sami Zayn afterwards, and had an RKO for the hometown hero as well.
