WWE Friday Night SmackDown #1113
Ort: Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida
First aired on December 18, 2020
The show opens with a look back at what happened between Roman Reigns and Kevin Owens.
Michael Cole then welcomes us to the last edition of SmackDown in front of the TLC-PPV.
Kevin Owens opens the show. He challenges Reigns to keep him company in the ring, but Reigns doesn’t. Owens therefore talks about last week and that he talked about everything with his family. She will not watch the match on TLC because he is afraid that they would see him differently if they saw what Owens Reigns was doing on Sunday. He also goes on to talk about Reigns and how he uses his family. Heyman can be faded in on the titantron. He thought Owens was a masochist, but he now sees him in a different light, he is a fighter who does everything to become champion, so he must be eliminated. Owens can no longer listen to the whole thing and goes in search of Reigns.
Adam Pearce pursues Owens and tries to prevent him from going into Reign’s cabin. But he doesn’t listen and wants to storm in, but the door is locked. At that moment Reigns comes to the ring, accompanied by Heyman. Owens sees this on a screen and shakes his head. Meanwhile, Reigns gets a microphone from Heyman. He claims to be not a bad man, he is just THE man. He asks Owens to stay in his role. But he would show Owens that he was a good man, Owens only had to accept him as Tribal Chief and as his “Head of the Table”. If he doesn’t, he won’t make it out of the arena here today. Owens has long been on his way and doesn’t look like he wants to apologize when he is attacked from behind by Jey Uso. He and Reigns use their outnumber to give KO a real rub. The two of them can only be stopped by several officials from beating him further.
After the advertisement, Jey Uso seems very satisfied, but Reigns is still angry because Owens will never understand and orders Uso to finally get rid of Owens.

After briefly talking about the matches at TLC, Reigns and Heyman come to the ring again, this time they have Jey Uso with them. He doesn’t understand how you can put a title power at risk in a PPV against him like that. Whose music is being played? Kevin Owens! He comes to the ring hobbling. Uso tries to intercept him, but Owens can handle him with a chair. In the ring he is then subject to numerical superiority. He flies through two tables again and is then buried in a pile of tables, ladders and chairs by Reigns and Uso. Reigns is interviewed backstage, but before he can be asked a question they see Owens straighten up again and speak to Roman on a screen. Nothing could keep him on the ground. He will either become Universal Champion on Sunday or die trying. A shocked Reigns leaves, the episode ends.
