WWE Smackdown Results: Lita returned (BEST)
One of the best moments of tonight’s show was the return of the ultimate Trailblazer of her generation and the inspiration to the budding female superstars, Lita. The Hall of Famer was announced for the women’s Royal Rumble match last week on the show, and this week she showed up after 20 long years on the Blue brand.

Lita got interviewed by Micahel Cole in the ring, where she revealed she isn’t here for a one-off appearance but has returned for one more run. Lita told that she is willing to win the Royal Rumble match and main event Wrestlemania 38. Her promo was interrupted by the Smackdown Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair only to get a Twist of Fate from the Hall of Famer before a few exchange of words.

WWE Smackdown Results: Natalya humiliated by Aliyah (WORST)
A new star humiliating a veteran isn’t something new in WWE, and tonight was another night where a veteran Natalya got humiliated by Aliyah. Aliyah’s victory isn’t something we are criticizing.

She deserved to win being a fan favorite, and we all rooted for her but defeating someone who has her name mentioned thrice in the Guinness Book of World Records in just 3.17 will only harm her prestige. Therefore, Natalya getting defeated under a WWE record time of 3.17 seconds wasn’t a great booking from Vince McMahon & Co.

WWE Smackdown Results: The Usos move on from New Day (BEST)
The Usos have finally got a new challenger for their titles, and this time it isn’t the New Day. After the unfortunate injury to King Woods, The Usos were out of challengers, which made the thinking tank come up with a new idea.

WWE Smackdown Results: Seth Rollins spoke the truth (BEST)
The closing segment of the show saw Rollins and Roman confronting each other. In an intimidating yet personal segment, both men went back & forth with their words, and Rollins was speaking facts about his former Shield brother.

He told Roman that he elevated him at the top during The Shield Days, and he is still needing support to be great as he is using his cousins now for his growth.- This pissed Reigns, and he called Rollins a Clown. The Universal Champion went a step ahead and said that he would have never wanted to face Rollins from Raw, instead if he had a choice to face a big star from Raw, he would have chosen his wife, i.e., Becky Lynch.

The captivating segment ended with Roman Reigns’ cousins The Usos tried attacking Rollins, but the latter evaded the attack perfectly. All in all, Rollins completely buried Roman by telling him the truth on his face.
