We’ve got the WWE SmackDown Live results, as well as our overall thoughts on the show, for you to check out below. Let us know what you thought about episode #1005 of WWE SmackDown by tweeting us, @TheRumbleRamble.
Charlotte’s Not Sorry
“Are you looking for an apology, @RondaRousey? You’re not gonna find one. I enjoyed every second of beating YOUR A**!” – @MsCharlotteWWE #SDLive pic.twitter.com/Kle0VCerwo

Charlotte Flair came to the ring to address her vicious beatdown of Ronda Rousey at Survivor Series. She said she would never apologize because she loved every minute of it. Beyond that, she didn’t do it just for herself, she did it for every woman on the SmackDown roster, Becky Lynch in particular.
SmackDown GM, Paige, soon joined her and said that although everyone enjoyed watching her defeat the baddest woman on the planet, she would still have to fine her $100,000 for harming five WWE officials during the match.
Billie Kay and Peyton Royce made an appearance and made the mistake of mocking The Queen, as she demanded a match against whichever IIconic was ready to lose.

When you outsmart #TheQueen, you HAVE to celebrate! Right, @PeytonRoyceWWE? #SDLive @MsCharlotteWWE @BillieKayWWE pic.twitter.com/bv7Vepve8V

Peyton Royce did what she could to assist her IIconic life partner in defeating her opponent, but Charlotte Flair overcame them both, defeating Billie Kay with relative ease via her Natural Selection. To get further revenge on the duo, Charlotte demanded Peyton Royce face her as well.
Winner: Charlotte Flair

To further solidify her position as Queen, Charlotte Flair went to work on Peyton Royce. Just as she was about to secure the victory over Royce fair and square, however, Billie Kay intervened, attacking Charlotte and causing a disqualification.
The IIconics then attempted to double team Charlotte but she quickly turned the beatdown around on them, crushing both Billie and Peyton before standing proudly over their limp bodies.
Winner: Charlotte Flair (via disqualification)
MizTV: Shane McMahon
You don’t need to do your signature shuffle tonight, @shanemcmahon, @mikethemiz has it down pat! #SDLive #MizTV pic.twitter.com/XkKmPH9ik4

Another rousing episode of MizTV, this one’s special guest was none other than World Cup Champion, Shane McMahon. Miz spent a few minutes sucking up to Shane before proposing that they become tag partners. Shane didn’t seem too excited about the idea, but Miz already had a match lined up for them to take place immediately.
The Miz and Shane McMahon vs. The Bryant Brothers
Ok, we love this team. #SDLive #BestTeamInTheWorld @shanemcmahon @mikethemiz pic.twitter.com/FBrvGiBC8d

In an embarrassing turn of events, The Miz was defeated by The Bryant Brothers before Shane could even tag into the match. Needless to say, Miz’s tag team champion dreams are probably dead.
Winner: The Bryant Brothers
The New Day vs. The Bar and The Big Show
Thanksgiving Feast Fight
Happy #Thanksgiving, @WWECesaro! #SDLive @WWEBigE @XavierWoodsPhD @TrueKofi pic.twitter.com/ufW69grhSJ
— WWE (@WWE) November 21, 2018
In a sort of tag match/food fight combo, The New Day were able to defeat The Bar, despite Sheamus and Cesaro having The Big Show on their side. Even after the final bell rang, The New Day continued their pummeling of Cesaro via various Thanksgiving food items.
Winner: The New Day
Asuka and Naomi vs. Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville
No one runs away from the #EmpressOfTomorrow! #SDLive @WWEAsuka @WWE_MandyRose pic.twitter.com/buh7NKIIB4

Between the growing dissension among Absolution and Naomi and Asuka’s new level of partnership in the form of matching outfits, Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville didn’t stand much of a chance against their former Survivor Series teammates. Asuka was able to score the win for her team by tapping out Sonya Deville with her Asuka Lock.
Winner: Asuka and Naomi
Daniel Bryan is Dead
New and improved? #SDLive @WWEDanielBryan pic.twitter.com/JwTaovMQ6o
— WWE Universe (@WWEUniverse) November 21, 2018
In a rather eerie, supervillain-esque monologue (complete with Bryan talking about himself in the third person), Daniel Bryan announced that the old him was dead. The new Bryan, formed by hours of hyperbaric chamber sessions, didn’t care about the fans or his fellow wrestlers. His only concern was making his dreams come true, regardless of the cost.
Randy Orton vs. Rey Mysterio
HOW DID HE DO THAT?!? #SDLive #MysteriovsOrton @RandyOrton @reymysterio pic.twitter.com/bRg7tUueF6

Randy Orton is at it again, out to destroy your favorite superstars. Rey Mysterio held out as long as he could against The Viper, even with multiple attempts to remove his mask on top of Orton’s vicious offensive maneuvers. Unfortunately for Mysterio, Orton caught him mid-air in a brutal RKO to the outside, securing the victory for The Viper. After the match, Orton continued his abuse of Mysterio, removing his mask and proudly holding it over his head as officials tended to the injured luchador.
Winner: Randy Orton
What letter grade would you give tonight’s show? #SDLive
