WWE SmackDown Results, Winners, Live Grades, Reactions and Highlights From Dec. 19

Last Time in Action: The Kabuki Warriors, Nia Jax, Lash Legend, and Becky Lynch lost to AJ Lee, Rhea Ripley, Iyo Sky, Charlotte Flair, and Alexa Bliss (Survivor Series: WarGames, November 29)

Their eyes set on winning tag team gold, the relatively new team of Jax and Legend wasted little time establishing their power advantage over the reigning women’s tag team champions, Asuka and Kairi Sane. The Pirate Princess, though, soared through the air, wiping her opponents out entering the commercial break.

The powerhouse tandem regained control during the break, isolating Sane and cutting her off from her partner. A hot tag to The Empress of Tomorrow, though, had the fans back into the match and the champions rallying.

The heels cut off the comeback attempt, though, and Jax finished Sane with the Annihilator to secure the win.

After the match, Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss hit the ring, laid into the victors, and sent them scurrying to the sanctuary of the arena floor before standing tall to close out the segment.
