WWE SmackDown Results and Highlights for December 13

Jimmy Uso promo
Jimmy entered the ring to chants of “Yeet” and laughed, joking that the crowd had the wrong twin. Reflecting on War Games, he called it an unforgettable experience, sharing how it meant everything to fight alongside family—even those they may not always get along with.

He praised Roman Reigns’ dominance, Jey’s rise as a main event star, and Solo Sikoa, despite disagreeing with some of Solo’s actions. “I’m even proud of my little brother, Solo Sikoa. I mean, I said that I’m proud of him, I mean, I might not be liking what he’s doing with all of that, but I’m proud of the boy,” Jimmy said. Jimmy further teased that they have a big year ahead of them, “A new year is coming for me, baby.” He hinted at chasing the Royal Rumble, the United States title, or even the WWE Undisputed Championship. Before he could leave, Drew McIntyre attacked with a sudden Claymore, leaving officials to break it up as Drew laughed and walked away.
