WWE SmackDown takeaways: Wyatt Sicks win tag titles, Jelly Roll tosses Logan Paul
WWE Friday Night SmackDown on July 11 took place at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tenn., and featured a tag team match between Solo Sikoa and JC Mateo against Jimmy Uso and LA Knight. The final weekly show before Saturday Night's Main Event and Evolution saw R-Truth pick up a quick win over Aleister Black and Alexa Bliss win a fatal 4-way match. Tiffany Stratton and Trish Stratus went back and forth on the mic, which also led to a brawl between Jade Cargill and Naomi. This episode felt very rushed, and there really wasn't all that much to take away from it. Here's what stood out the most: Wyatt Sicks win tag team titles After earning No. 1 contender status, the Wyatt Sicks got their tag team title shot against the Street Profits. Montez Ford didn't seem scared of the spooky group as he repeatedly mocked his opponents early in the match. One weird moment in this one was when Angelo Dawkins was putting the screws to Joe Gacy, only to abandon a pin at a one count to call Dexter Lumis into the ring just so he could throw him out of it to set up a dive to the outside. Other than that, it was a solid match that earned chants from the crowd. Ford hit his signature frog splash, but couldn't get to the pin thanks to Eric Rowan pulling him out of the ring. A moment later, Lumis and Gacy connected with a double team maneuver to score the pin. Well, if you want to make the Wyatt Sicks seem like an unbeatable mythical force as they have been presented, I guess that means they have to win matches. The Street Profits most recent title reign never really got into the next gear due to shoddy booking. Week in and week out, WWE has seemed to struggle with booking the tag team division. Either they get no attention, or it's been multi-team brawls or multi-team matches with constant interference. It's felt like the plan has been to just kick the can down the road to the next episode in hopes of figuring it out as they go. Booking the Wyatt Sicks is already hard enough. Good luck doing it with them holding the titles, because they're an act that doesn't need gold to be special – much like Bray Wyatt. Jelly Roll comes to Randy Orton's aid to stop Logan Paul Musician Jelly Roll, who was born in Nashville, treated the fans to a musical performance. That is, until Logan Paul made his presence felt by interrupting and unplugging equipment. Paul then met Jelly Roll in the ring to cut a promo on the musician and announce the signing of his podcast deal with WWE. Jelly Roll checked Paul, and after the two got face-to-face, Randy Orton joined the party. Orton, with veins popping through his forehead, yelled at Paul to show some respect to Jelly Roll. Then Orton was hit with a Claymore out of nowhere. Drew McIntyre attacked and was promptly escorted away by security. Paul took the opportunity to inflict more damage on Orton. That's when Jelly Roll got physical and tossed Paul aside. Paul then went down the entrance aisle and destroyed Jelly Roll's musical equipment. Rumors of Jelly Roll's physical involvement in WWE made the rounds before the show, and now we know it's looking like Logan Paul will be his first foe in the ring. With Orton and McIntyre involved, maybe we get a tag team match that can allow Jelly Roll to be protected in a match while the real workers carry the load. We'll see where it goes. LA Knight attacked after winning tag team match This week's main event was a tag team match created after the opening promo segment. Jimmy Uso teamed up with LA Knight against Solo Sikoa and JC Mateo. It was an interesting pairing ahead of their matches on Saturday Night's Main Event. Sikoa leaned heavily into his disgust for his brother Jimmy, showing off his typical fantastic heel work. Mateo attempted to capitalize on what Sikoa started, but a hot tag to Knight flipped the script of the match. Knight cleaned house, then tagged Uso back in before landing his signature second-rope elbow drop. Uso hit a splash, but Sikoa quickly regained the upper hand. Knight quickly re-entered the ring to even the score again until he was distracted by Paul Heyman. Knight ate a big boot from Talla Tonga, but Uso rolled up Sikoa from behind to score the quick three count. After the match Knight hit Sikoa with a BFT, and then turned his focus back to Heyman. Unfortunately, Bron Breakker appeared from behind to spear him through the ring, and Bronson Reed added a Tsunami. Knight will now enter Saturday's match against Seth Rollins compromised. This was a decent enough main event, which served just to set up the post-match shenanigans. How will Knight rebound from the attack and then deal with Rollins' team at SNME?

WWE SmackDown Results (July 11): LA Knight ambushed, Logan Paul interrupts Jelly Roll segment
WWE SmackDown delivered a packed episode this week, featuring everything from shocking title changes to one of the most talked-about celebrity segments of the year. The Friday night opened with LA Knight cutting a promo on Seth Rollins, only to be interrupted by Paul Heyman. Solo Sikoa and MFT soon followed, forcing Heyman to retreat. A backstage brawl led to a tag team match later in the night, with Jimmy Uso stepping in to support Knight. Notably, Tama Tonga was absent. — WWE (@WWE) Alexa Bliss vs Kairi Sane, Sol Ruca And Roxanne Perez In women's action, Alexa Bliss outlasted Sol Ruca, Roxanne Perez, and Kairi Sane in a Fatal 4-Way after hitting Sister Abigail on Sane. Charlotte Flair accompanied Bliss to ringside, though their uneasy alliance was clear. — WWE (@WWE) The Wyatt Sicks vs Street Profits Live Events The Wyatt Sicks claimed the WWE Tag Team Championships in a thrilling contest against the Street Profits, who debuted new gear reminiscent of early '90s Shawn Michaels. The crowd was red-hot as both teams traded near falls before Joe Gacy and Dexter Lumis sealed the win. — WWE (@WWE) Logan Paul interrupts Jelly Roll 's live performance Roll's hometown performance was interrupted by Paul, leading to a red-hot segment involving Randy Orton , Drew McIntyre, and a fired-up Roll. Paul insulted Roll and celebrities in wrestling before chaos erupted. McIntyre hit Paul with a Claymore, Orton was ambushed, and Roll got physical to a massive pop. He'll now corner Orton at Saturday Night's Main Event. — WWE (@WWE) R-Truth vs Aleister Black R-Truth, still riding strong fan support, came out aggressive against Aleister Black, though Black countered effectively with his Muay Thai strikes. A steel chair entered the mix, but Truth was stopped by a sharp knee. Moments later, Black considered using the chair himself, only for the referee to intervene. In the chaos, Truth capitalized with a surprise roll-up, handing Black his first pinfall loss since returning. Backstage, Damian Priest tried to calm a furious Black, who briefly walked away—only to return and lay Priest out with a knee to the jaw, cementing a heel turn born out of frustration and defeat. — WWE (@WWE)

WWE SmackDown results, highlights (July 11): The Wyatt Sicks win tag-team gold
Nashville hosted a chaotic night of "WWE SmackDown" before the massive weekend of pro wrestling events. Despite all the action taking place down south, not every title could fit on Saturday Night's Main Event. Take the WWE Tag Team titles as Exhibit A. Super powered WWE did it. The Wyatt Sicks are the new WWE Tag Team Champions after being booked to be impossible to defeat. In a general sense, The Street Profits absolutely should still be tag team champions. But WWE booked themselves into the corner where this change had to happen, otherwise the Wyatts would be buried by a singular loss. The match was fine. It was nothing special, especially compared to everything else the division has to offer. Again, this was more about hitting the story beats properly, and now it will be a matter of presumably picking off The Wyatt Sicks one by one to dethrone them. There still hasn't been an explanation why they would even want to be champions, but hey, this is where we are. Advertisement 👑 Uncrowned Gem of the Night 👑 Why not set the stage immediately, huh? "WWE SmackDown" cooked right out of the gate with a fatal-4-way match between members of the women's tag teams competing for the title at WWE Evolution on Sunday. It was Sol Ruca vs. Alexa Bliss vs. Kairi Sane vs. Roxanne Perez. There was no way this could be bad, right? Right. It ruled and was the Uncrowned Gem of the Night. OK, in all transparency, this was an excellent display for NXT's Ruca, and not just because she was in the match, but she felt like it was supposed to be a highlight for her. It was certainly that and more. Everything she did with any of her three opponents was flawless, and the double Sol-Snatcher was sick. I didn't love her looking like an idiot at the end when distracted by Charlotte Flair and the unnecessary outside scuffle, but that's just how it goes. The finish came right after Ruca got done taking care of business, as Sane went for the In-Sane Elbow on Bliss. Flair's new frenemy countered the dive with a double kick and hit the Sister Abigail DDT for the win. Bliss is just wildly over right now, and if this isn't a launching pad to get gold around her waist again, then WWE is wasting its time with her. Advertisement 🥴 WTF of the Night WWE went through a time machine to the early 2010s in Nashville. Where do we even start with the Jelly Roll appearance? The artist came out midway through the show to start performing. I love music, but this wasn't for me simply because of the genre, so it began on a missable foot. It was unclear whether this would be part of an angle or if WWE would merely allow a small concert to take place. Ultimately, it was an angle — maybe? This was a cluster. Logan Paul, the perfect heat magnet for this moment, came out to disrupt the sing-along and lambast Jelly Roll with all the claims that can be made about him as a wrestler. Clout-chasing, not belonging in the ring, saying it was "his world," etc. Advertisement He landed a solid roast line, and then a fired-up Randy Orton arrived to verbally unload on Paul, only to get kicked with a Claymore by Drew McIntyre. Paul then continued the assault on Orton, and Jelly Roll grabbed and threw him out of the ring. What? The McIntyre and Orton element was shoe-horned into this purely for Saturday Night's Main Event "hype," but it all felt so weird. And in a way, like it's setting up for ... Paul vs. Jelly Roll? This whole segment served no one. Now, Jelly Roll will be in Orton's corner against McIntyre. Alright, I guess. 👍 FRIDAY NIGHT FIRE 👍 LA Knight is still as over as ever, but he was a part of the first bit of this show's overall random nature. He and Jimmy Uso beat Solo Sikoa and JC Mateo in a tag team match that was set up by the opening segment. Knight cut a great promo (as always) on Seth Rollins and his boys, which led to the Paul Heyman interruption before Sikoa and his squad followed. I don't know why, but it led to Uso coming to Knight's aid before he got attacked by the four Samoans. The match was fine, and the Knight-Uso duo got along better than I'd have expected. Their win came via a Uso roll-up on Sikoa after outside distractions from a returning Heyman, who teased Knight with a call to Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed. This was all the set-up needed to help Knight get the win at Saturday Night's Main Event tomorrow, because Sikoa was pissed at Heyman. We'll see if that comes to fruition, but either way, it was an interesting way to end "WWE SmackDown." 🤷 IT HAPPENED 🤷 "WWE SmackDown's" return to two hours is already suffering from the "cram-in" effect. Like the Jelly Roll segment, Trish Stratus and Tiffany Stratton's segment was almost the exact same thing. (Minus the musical guest element.) Advertisement It was essentially a complete copy and paste of the infamous Stratton-Flair promo segment before WrestleMania 41. Wade Barrett mediated, and they exchanged playful barbs as if they were never friends the last time we saw them. The Nashville crowd did not react to anything either said before Naomi came out to tease her eventual cash-in. Can you guess what happened within seconds? Yep. Jade Cargill attacked her for a pull-apart brawl on the ramp. No real substance anywhere to be found. 👎 DOWN & OUT 👎 Ron Killings beat Aleister Black in their singles match. That should be a positive, and is without context. However, with context, this doesn't feel like the right direction to go with Killings after the hot angle WWE had in the palm of its hand with his release saga. Advertisement Killings won via a roll-up after he brought a chair into the fold, and they each tried to get disqualified by using the weapon. It was a three-minute match at most, and Black angrily tried to attack Killings on their way out of the ring. I guess this is how we get to Damian Priest doing something again, because they came to blows afterward. 👑 This show was a scattered sprint more than it was a race. Without that Fatal 4-Way to kick things off in the ring, we'd be in rough territory. I give this show a Crown score of: 6/10.👑

WWE Smackdown results: Wyatt Sicks strike again and flatten Street Profits, Fraxiom, and other tag teams
The tag team division on SmackDown is in complete chaos after a violent attack by the Wyatt Sicks. Just as things seemed to be heating up with several teams claiming they deserved a shot at the titles, the lights went out and everything changed. The Street Profits started the conversation with a confident promo in Knoxville, Tennessee. Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins reminded everyone they had the tag division on lock before Wyatt Sicks ruined their last match. Then came the Motor City Machine Guns. Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley stepped up and said they wanted a title opportunity as well. Fraxiom joined the mix with Nathan Frazer saying they never got a fair chance and that they were ready to run it back. Axiom backed him up and said nobody beat them last week. That led to more arguing until Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa showed up. With Candice LeRae speaking for them, DIY claimed that none of the other teams deserved a shot. The lights go out, and the Wyatt Sicks send a strong message THEY'RE HERE!The Wyatt Sicks just took out the entire #SmackDown Tag Team Division 😱 In the middle of all the noise, the arena went black. When the lights returned, Uncle Howdy was standing on the turnbuckles. One by one, the Wyatt Sicks tore through everyone in sight. Erick Rowan pulled the Motor City Machine Guns to the floor and left them out cold. Dexter Lumis attacked the Street Profits with no hesitation. Joe Gacy blindsided Fraxiom while Nikki Cross launched herself off the announce desk to take out Candice LeRae. Nathan Frazer tried to get back on his feet, but walked right into a devastating Sister Abigail from Uncle Howdy. It was a chilling scene as every tag team lay broken in and around the ring. The Wyatt Sicks stood tall without saying a single word. With Money in the Bank 2025 only a week away, this segment shook up the entire tag division. No one knows who will get a title shot now, or even who is left to challenge. What is clear is that the Wyatt Sicks are not just here to haunt the show. They are here to take control.
