WWE SmackDown results, highlights: Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens vs. The Usos rematch set, Solo Sikoa beats Riddle
April 14WWE SmackDown is getting a WrestleMania makeover when Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens make the first defense of their undisputed tag team championships against their bitter rivals, The Usos. The WrestleMania 39 rematch was made official on Friday night. Though it appears that Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns are moving on from their rivalry -- for now -- the war between The Bloodline and the tag team champions rages on. Owens and Zayn have found a valuable ally in Riddle to even up the numbers against Jey Uso, Jimmy Uso and Solo Sikoa. The latest episode of the blue brand laid the groundwork for a tag team title rematch and hosted a main event pitting Riddle vs. Sikoa. The undisputed tag team championships weren't the only titles that were given new direction on Friday night. Newly crowned women's tag team champions Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez have their first challengers; meanwhile, intercontinental kingpin GUNTHER has a new foe in mind. This week's SmackDown also featured the first televised appearance of Shinsuke Nakamura in 2023.

WWE Raw results, highlights: Live recap, grades as Brock Lesnar responds to Cody Rhodes' Backlash challenge
Brock Lesnar isn't exactly a man who runs away from a fight. So, when "The Beast" shows up on Raw on Monday night, it's likely he'll be there to accept Cody Rhodes' invitation to go one-on-one at the upcoming WWE Backlash pay-per-view. After losing his shot at undisputed WWE universal champion Roman Reigns in the main event of WrestleMania, Rhodes was looking for a tag team partner to face Reigns and Solo Sikoa in a tag match. After agreeing to battle alongside Rhodes, Lesnar ended up turning just before the start of the match, brutally attacking Rhodes and leaving him down and out.The attack led to Rhodes throwing down a challenge for a match at Backlash during last week's episode of Raw, looking to not only get revenge but continue to try and blaze a path back to a shot at the titles.

WWE SmackDown results: Riddle goes solo against The Bloodline, trio of matches set for Backlash

Friday night also hosted two championship bouts and officially set the stage for three new matches at Backlash. GUNTHER defended his intercontinental championship against Xavier Woods while Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez made the first defense of their women's tag team titles against Chelsea Green and Sonya Deville.

WWE SmackDown results: Roman Reigns, Solo Sikoa vs. Sami Zayn, Kevin Owens set for Night of Champions
May 12, 2023Undisputed WWE universal champion Roman Reigns will be the first to tell you that he is not a tag team wrestler, but he will be at Night of Champions. Reigns inserted himself and Solo Sikoa into a tag team title match against Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn in Saudi Arabia.

WWE SmackDown results, recap, grades: The Bloodline stands tall ahead of Night of Champions
A picture is worth a thousand words, but not all words speak truth. Roman Reigns and The Bloodline stood tall in the final moments of WWE SmackDown, but the reality is that Reigns has never been more alone. The Night of Champions go-home show closed with Reigns raising all four tag team championship belts over his head. It was a dominant display from WWE's most dominant champion. In truth, Reigns is more and more becoming The Bloodline's weak link with each passing week. SmackDown also featured a United States championship match between Austin Theory and Sheamus, plus one final test for AJ Styles ahead of his world heavyweight championship tournament finals against Seth Rollins at Night of Champions.

WWE SmackDown results, recap, grades: Jey Uso challenges Roman Reigns after The Bloodline injures Jimmy Uso
SmackDown started with the "Trial of Roman Reigns" and concluded with Jey Uso anointing himself as judge, jury and executioner. Jey Uso is on the warpath after Jimmy Uso was stretchered out of the arena following a brutal assault by The Bloodline. The Usos defeated Reigns and Solo Sikoa at Money in the Bank this past weekend. It marked the first time that Reigns had been pinned in three-and-a-half years. What was perceived as the fall of Reigns' empire instead spurred the most ruthless, vindictive version of Reigns to date. Friday's show also featured Hall of Famer Edge's first match in nearly two months, a United States championship title defense and in-ring action featuring former world champion AJ Styles.

WWE SmackDown results, recap, grades: Roman Reigns, Solo Sikoa lay out Jey Uso a week before SummerSlam
Jey Uso is going to need some help. "Main Event" Jey Uso has proved to be a formidable solo act, but he could not overcome the combined might of Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa on Friday's episode of WWE SmackDown. SummerSlam is fast approaching and Jey Uso is sorely missing his twin brother, Jimmy Uso. Recent encounters suggest that Jey Uso may be the single most formidable superstar among the fractured Bloodline family, but he could not overcome the two-pronged assault of Reigns and Sikoa on SmackDown. Friday's show also crowned a new No. 1 contender for the United States championship, formally introduced a SummerSlam battle royal and more.

WWE SmackDown results, recap, grades: Jey Uso overcomes Solo Sikoa ahead of SummerSlam's 'Tribal Combat'
Jey Uso looks like a world-beater ahead of his WWE SummerSlam showdown with Roman Reigns. Uso passed one final obstacle in the imposing shape of his brother Solo Sikoa on Friday's episode of SmackDown. Reigns was typically absent from the pay-per-view go-home show as he prepared for "Tribal Combat." Paul Heyman was tasked with planting seeds of doubt while Sikoa was responsible for wounding Uso ahead of Saturday's match. Unfortunately for The Bloodline, Jey Uso is a force that won't be deterred as he looks to avenge his injured brother Jimmy Uso. Reigns and Uso will compete for Reigns' undisputed WWE universal champion and status as "Tribal Chief" of the Anoa'i family. SmackDown also featured the official formation of an intriguing new trio and an in-ring appearance by fan-favorite LA Knight.
