WWE SmackDown Live Results – December 11th, 2018

Randy Orton
Orton walked to the ring and took his time as he usually does. He walked over to a chair and picked it up. He does have a chairs match against Rey Mysterio at WWE TLC this Sunday.
Orton showed some clips and hyped his match with Rey Mysterio. He said all the boys in the locker room are worried about 3 letters: TLC… but Mysterio needs to worry about RK– then Mysterio hit Orton with a chair from behind.
Mysterio hit a 6-1-9 and Orton took off.
Jeff Hardy & Rusev vs Samoa Joe & Shinsuke Nakamura
Before the match could start Carmella and R-Truth ran out to have a dance break!
The dance break provided a distraction for Hardy so Nakamura jumped him and then tagged in Samoa Joe. Hardy started to light Joe up, but Samoa Joe rolled outside and dragged Jeff outside to drive him spine-first into the barricade.
Hardy kept taking abuse as Joe piled it on, but Jeff kept kicking out to his credit. Nakamura tagged in to kick Jeff around before Joe tagged back in to lock on a submission hold. Hardy fought back and hit a Whisper In The Wind and Rusev got the hot tag.
Rusev nailed a bunch of knees to Nakamura and tossed him across the ring. Then he hit a spinkick before Nakamura nailed a couple back elbows and Rusev ducked two kicks before catching one of his own.
Hardy nailed a Twist Of Fate on Nakamura and a dive on Joe to the outside. Nakamura avoided Rusev’s assault and went for a Kinsasha but he ran right into a Machka Kick for the loss. Rusev pinned the US Champion.
Winners: Rusev & Jeff Hardy
