WWE SmackDown Results November 13th, 2020: Latest Friday Night SmackDown Winners, Grades, Video Highlights
Roman Reigns and Paul Heyman kicked off SmackDown and started talking about how the numbers prove that Roman Reigns made Jey Uso relevant. Roman said he was going to beat Randy Orton at Survivor Series and that he respects his accomplishments but not the man.
Drew McIntyre showed up on SmackDown and said that Roman won't be facing Randy at Survivor Series, he'll be facing Drew instead after he takes the WWE title from The Viper. McIntyre and Reigns were having a staredown when Jey Uso came out and got in Drew's face.
Jey challenged Drew to a match tonight and McIntyre pushed him out of his way. Roman and Drew had one last staredown before the Universal champ and his posse left.
Backstage on SmackDown, Roman was furious at Jey and said that he calls the shots, not Jey. Uso said he'll take care of it and walked off.
Sami Zayn was out next and was very upset that he was booked for a title match with Apollo Crews. Nonetheless, he agreed to the match and the match began shortly after.
