"As you can see moments ago, a multi-car accident involving members of The MFT heard outside the Frost Bank Arena here in San Antonio, Texas, ahead of Friday Night SmackDown. Law enforcement already on the scene" .. Cathy Kelley

"Excuse me Adam Pearce can I get a word" Cathy Kelley

"Of course" Adam Pearce
@ScrapDaddyAP

"Will you let me know what type of injuries are we expecting to see from this accident" CK

"So you and I came out here on this at the same time. Obviously it's brand new as we go on the air. It's a huge night. Nick took the night off. Cody" .. AP

*You've clearly got your hands full here. Is this the contact for later here tonight" Cody Rhodes

"Everything we talked about is in here" AP

"Thank you" CR

"I'll catch up with you later" AP

"Cathy, excuse me. I want to talk with a police officer. Thank you"

Overhead

"Ok, one more time"

"We'll be sure to provide as many updates as we can throughout the night" Cathy Kelley

"Thank you Cathy. Our ace reporter quick on the scene there" Joe Tessitore
@JoeTessESPN

"Obviously not how we intended to start SmackDown. Our arrivals interrupted with a car crash, just outside the arena here in San Antonio" JT

"Yeah, Pandemonium. A major incident to kick off SmackDown. And my question is, what triggered that accident? Was it intentional or was it an accident? The MFT's certainly have made some enemies over the past few months, so we'll find out more" .. Wade Barrett

"We have team coverage on this. It just happened as we were going on the air. Cody Rhodes of course set to sign the contract to face John Cena at SummerSlam" ... JT

Media Man: Wow. A different type of action and drama than we are accustomed to at SmackDown! There's a big story here to uncover. Law enforcement and Adam Pearce have their work cut out for them. Trouble does have a habit of following around Mr Solo Sikoa! Hopefully everyone is ok. God speed.

WWE SmackDown, also known as Friday Night SmackDown or simply SmackDown, is a professional wrestling television program produced by WWE. Here are some key updates and details about SmackDown:

Broadcast Details: SmackDown airs live every Friday at 8 p.m. Eastern Time (ET) on the USA Network in the United States. It is WWE's second flagship show, following Monday Night Raw.

Recent Highlights: The show has recently moved to a three-hour format, marking a new era for the blue brand. The latest episode, from January 3, 2025, featured significant events like Tiffany Stratton cashing in her Money in the Bank contract to win the WWE Women's Championship from Nia Jax.

Notable Matches and Storylines: Recent episodes have included matches like Shinsuke Nakamura defending the United States Championship against Andrade, and a six-man tag team match where Solo Sikoa, Jacob Fatu, and Tama Tonga faced off against Sami Zayn and The Usos. The ongoing Bloodline storyline has been a focal point, with Solo Sikoa positioning himself for Tribal Combat against Roman Reigns.

Championships and Superstars: The program showcases talents from the SmackDown brand, including current champions and top superstars like Cody Rhodes, LA Knight, Bianca Belair, and Solo Sikoa. The show also features cross-brand appearances, especially with the brand extension in place.

Audience and Reception: SmackDown has historically been one of the most-watched shows on Friday nights in the U.S., with a significant global following. The transition to FOX in 2019 and then back to USA Network has been part of WWE's strategy to maximize viewership and advertising revenue.

Future Events: Upcoming events often teased or set up on SmackDown include WWE's premium live events (PLEs) like the Royal Rumble, which is a significant focus for storylines and match build-ups.

For the most current updates, fans can follow WWE's official social media channels, where real-time posts about matches, highlights, and behind-the-scenes content are shared. (Grok)

SURVIVOR SERIES NEWS: NXT stars debut in PPV main event angle, plus other news from annual PPV - 18th November 2012

-- NXT champion Seth Rollins (formerly Tyler Black), Dean Ambrose, and Roman Reigns debuted on WWE TV by attacking Ryback and preventing him from capturing the WWE Title in the Survivor Series PPV main event.

Rollins, Ambrose, and Reigns were identified by announcer Michael Cole as being from the NXT Developmental system. After they took out Ryback via powerbomb through the Spanish announce table, Punk pinned John Cena, who had received Shell Shock from Ryback before Ryback was taken out by the NXT trio.

-- No titles changed hands during the PPV. In the other top title match, Sheamus beat Big Show via DQ after Show pulled referee Scott Armstrong in the way of a Brogue Kick. Sheamus then delivered a massive beat down to Show using a chair, which likely sets up a World Title re-match at the TLC PPV next month.

-- In the other title matches, Antonio Cesaro retained the U.S. Title over Kofi Kingston and Eve retained the Divas Title over Kaitlyn.

-- In the top Survivor Series elimination match, Dolph Ziggler pinned Randy Orton to be the sole survivor for Team Ziggler over Team Foley. Earlier in the show, WWE teased tension between Orton and Mick Foley, playing up their historical feud from Orton's early days. Also earlier in the show, David Otunga was named as Cody Rhodes's replacement on Team Ziggler following Rhodes's injury at last week's Smackdown TV taping.

-- Tamina, who recently trained with The Rock, returned to WWE TV as Vickie Guerrero's hired bodyguard. The set-up was that A.J. Lee noted that if Vickie places her hands on her, then Vickie will be removed as interim Raw authority figure. Tamina then blindsided A.J. and Superfly Splashed her to establish her new role as Vickie's enforcer (Pro Wrestling Torch)

Wrestling News Flashback

Brock Lesnar vs Jon 'Bones' Jones being speculated by sports media commentators; Will WWE top brass make it happen for WrestleMania

For months there's been speculation running rampant about the potential match up of Brock Lesnar aka 'The Beast' vs Jon 'Bones' Jones.

Due to Jones recent drug testing fail it would appear that the obvious place for the match up to happen would be under the WWE umbrella, and what better event to have it take place than WrestleMania.

WWE is always looking for unique, high interest (and grossing) main event matches, and there's little doubt that this dream match would draw massive publicity, and would certainly help sell out an arena (and boost WWE Network subscriber numbers at the same time).

Would the risk of booking such a dream match be worth the potential risk and payoff? Only a few select top brass in the WWE would know, those individuals would be the likes of Vince McMahon and Triple H. Pat Patterson would possibly be in the decision making also, and could very well help book the match, should it be scripted, as all WWE matches are. Or, would the WWE just have these men fight for real? Problem is if its for real, as the WWF Brawl For All was, both men could get seriously hurt and be out of action for many months. Then again, both men would be part-times and are special attractions, so it's not like they have to be out on the road going to arena to arena, following such a bout.

There's also talk whether UFC / MMA sensation Conor McGregor may seriously look at one or more matches under the WWE banner no matter what the result from his clash with Floyd 'Money' Mayweather, who is not a stranger to the WWE ring, having previously fought and beat 'The Big Show' at WrestleMania 24.

It's certainly interesting times for the WWE / Sports Entertainment - MMA - Boxing connection.

Let's all hope that a Lesnar vs Jones and the upcoming McGregor vs Mayweather fight surpass the infamous Ali vs Inoki match from 1976.

As Bruce Buffer says, Let's get ready to rumble. Let's now cross to ringside with Mauro Ranallo for the call of the action.
