The latest episode of WWE Smackdown witnessed tense situations between Sami Zayn and The Usos continuing in the absence of the undisputed champion Roman Reigns.

Two Wrestlemania title match opponents came face-to-face on the show where Rey Mysterio was in action against Karrion Kross in the main event. Plus, Natalya and Shayna Baszler looked forward to settling their differences in the ring.

Check out the recap and results from the February 24 episode of Friday Night Smackdown that took place at the Ford Center in Evansville, Indiana:

– SmackDown kicked off with Jimmy Uso requesting his brother and tag team partner Jey Uso to meet him in the ring so that they can talk in person.

– Imperium (Intercontinental Champion Gunther, Giovanni Vinci, and Ludwig Kaiser) defeated Ricochet, Madcap Moss, and Braun Strowman in a six-man tag team match.

- Drew McIntyre was out on the ramp to watch the match. The finish of the match saw Madcap getting the hot tag but he was downed with a released German Suplex. GUNTHER soon followed up with a powerbomb for the pin-fall win.

After the match, The Viking Raiders attacked Drew on the ramp but Sheamus, Strowman, and Ricochet helped Drew to fight them off.



– In a backstage segment, Santos Escobar told Rey Mysterio that he respects him. Dominik Mysterio & Rhea Ripley interrupted and Dominik straight-up started trash-talking his father. Santos ended the segment by advising Dom to have some respect for his father.

– Kofi Kingston (with Xavier Woods) defeated LA Knight in a singles contest. Woods played his trombone to distract LA from doing a top rope move. Kofi caught him up there and nailed the Trouble in Paradise Kick for the pin to win.

– SmackDown Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair and Dominik Mysterio came face to face in the ring. At one point, Charlotte threatened to hit Dominik, but Rhea came out and confronted her. Charlotte posed with the title to end the segment.

– Shayna Baszler (with Ronda Rousey) defeated Natalya (with Tegan Nox) in a singles contest via an arm submission. After the short match, Baszler and Rousey attacked Natalya but Nox pounced on Rousey to make the save.



– Bray Wyatt converted the Firefly Funhouse into Funhouse News, where Uncle Howdy was doing the weather report. In the segment, Wyatt teased facing Bobby Lashley at WrestleMania 39.

– Karrion Kross (with Scarlett) defeated Rey Mysterio after Dominik interfered in the main event of Smackdown. Dom stopped Rey from doing a 619 by pulling him out of the ring. Kross delivered a right hand and applied the Kross Jacket as Rey faded out.

– Jimmy Uso called Jey Uso to the ring after that match but Jey didn’t come out. Sami Zayn came out instead and tried to make a truce with Jimmy by advising him not to join Roman Reigns, in going down.

Sami tried to convince Jimmy on multiple occasions but Jimmy attacked him. Jey then came out through the crowd to cause a distraction that allowed Sami to connect with a Helluva Kick on Jimmy.



Jey entered the ring and had a staredown with Sami. Solo Sikoa then ran to the ring, which led to Sami retreating from the ring. Solo and Jey stood in the ring as Smackdown went off the air.
