By @B_Rock1978

Happy Holidays everyone and welcome to another exciting edition of Wrestling Lockup with Brandon brought to you by Triple Threat CLE. Today's edition is your Smackdown recap from last night's show. Smackdown took place in Sioux City, Iowa. As we continue down the road to the Royal Rumble.

- Hulk Hogan opened up the show, announcing himself as the Smackdown GM of the week. Seth Rollins comes out and praises Hogan as being the reason he got into wrestling, then tells Hogan he doesn't deserve to be in the same ring as Seth Rollins. Dolph Ziggler comes out to defend Hogan against Rollins. Big Show is out next and threatens to knock out both Hogan and Ziggler. Next out is Roman Reigns, as he backs up Hogan and Ziggler, by threatening to punch Show in the mouth. Hogan announces Ziggler and Reigns vs Show and Rollins later in the main event.

- Ryback battled Kane in a one on one rematch from TLC. Rusev and Lana appeared at ringside in this one and distracted Ryback. The "Big Guy" knocked Rusev off the apron and dropped Kane with the "Meat Hook" and the "Shell Shock" to pick up the pinfall. Ryback took a beating after the match, as Kane and Rusev double teamed the big guy. Kane choke slams Ryback and Rusev locked Ryback in "The Accolade".

- Smackdown GM, Hulk Hogan, confronts Rusev and Lana backstage. Hogan orders Rusev to defend his WWE United States Championship later tonight as punishment for attacking Ryback.

- Divas action saw Naomi battle Alicia Fox. Naomi's biggest fan, The Miz, watched Naomi's match from backstage. Fox gets a couple near falls on Naomi throughout the match. Naomi finished off Alicia Fox with her split legged moonsault for the pinfall.

- Adam Rose got a rematch with R-Truth, after his humiliating loss to Truth this past RAW. Rose took Truth out with the "Party Foul" and scored the pinfall. And we were left with the question...Where was The Bunny? After Rose physically kicked the bunny crap out of The Bunny on RAW, The Bunny was nowhere to be found.

- The WWE United States Championship was on the line as Rusev defended against Dean Ambrose. Ambrose gets out of an "Accolade" attempt by Rusev. Ambrose scores a near fall with the top rope elbow drop on Rusev. The fight goes to the floor, where Bray Wyatt showed up and attacked Ambrose, causing a DQ. Rusev retains the U.S. Title due to the interference. After the match, Ambrose and Bray brawl into the timekeepers pit. Ambrose nails Bray with a steel chair then tosses chair after chair into the ring as Bray retreats.

- Jimmy Uso battled his wife's stalker, The Miz, in one on one action. Miz spent a lot of time running away and pleading with Jimmy. Miz tries to shake hands with Jimmy at one point in the match, trying to get Jimmy to forget about what Miz has done. Miz eats a super kick and gets a "Superfly Splash" as Jimmy scores the pinfall.

- Main event time and it's Roman Reigns and Dolph Ziggler vs. Big Show and Seth Rollins. Rollins and Reigns returned to their after Shield feud. Mercury and Noble were present at ringside, threatening interference throughout the match. Rollins near falled Reigns with a super kick. Ziggler hot tagged in and cleaned house at one point until getting beat down. Reigns ends up spearing Big Show, sending him to the floor. Ziggler takes out Mercury and Noble as they attacked Reigns on the floor. Back in the ring, Reigns spears Rollins in half and scores the pinfall.

And that's this week's Smackdown. Have a great weekend, till next time, tap or snap.
