Beijing time, December 19, 2021 news, as Lin Jie mentioned in today's first article, WWE considered the low ratings during the holidays, so decided to record next week's Christmas special SD program in advance! Just after Smackdown ended its live broadcast at Chicago's Studio Sports Center yesterday!
After decorating the venue a little bit and adding some Christmas elements, WWE continued to record next week's SD program in advance at the venue! Next week's Christmas special SD finishes recording ahead of schedule! In fact, Sister Lin also mentioned in the previous article that in the pre-recorded next week's Smackdown program, Sammy Zahn successfully qualified for the Challenge of The Junsuke Intercontinental Championship through a 12-day Christmas wheel war!
And this battle will begin at the Welcome, so the new question is, will Sammy Zahn regain the intercontinental title in the Welcome? After all, through yesterday's foreign media reports, Sami Zahn has reached a contract extension with WWE! So will WWE agree to the reopening of Sammy Zahn's intercontinental championship rule?
Full spoiler exposure! In addition to this wheel battle for the number one challenger for the Intercontinental Championship, WWE also arranged a showdown between Charlotte and Tony Storm on the pre-recorded SD show, which is a Smackdown Women's Championship Match! In the end, Charlotte won and successfully defended the title!
The final main battle was a Christmas street fight, which was played against Drew McKintel and the New Day Duo against the Carnival Moss and the Uso Brothers! In the end, Drew McKintel hit Moss with a machete kick and led the new day group to win the game!
The advance recorded Episode of Smackdown will be officially broadcast on December 25, Beijing time! In addition to next week's SD news, Roman's plot has been changed! In the Smackdown show that ended yesterday, Roman Raines's plot was scheduled to be arranged in the opening session!
And WWE also arranged an interview with Brock Lesner in the background, WWE actually completed the recording beforehand, but unfortunately due to the change in the plot arrangement of Roman Raines, resulting in this interview with Brock Lesner, we did not see it in this week's SD show!
Foreign media speculate that WWE will most likely broadcast this interview with Dabu in the Smackdown program next week! That said, we should have seen Paul Hayman betray Roman Raines at the beginning of this week's SD show, but WWE finally kept it for the end!
