WWE Smackdown Result And Report For 03 November 2023: Highlight, Match Ratings, Winners And Losers

WWE SmackDown in Los Angeles is electric tonight as LA Knight steps into the spotlight, the crowd roaring with approval. The arena resonates with chants of “LA Knight,” a testament to his rising popularity. Knight, fueled by the fans’ energy, declares his intention to bring an end to Roman Reigns’ dominant reign. He vividly recounts dodging a spear from Roman last week, turning the tables with a BFT, and pledges that at Crown Jewel, the result will be the same – a new champion will rise.

As Knight’s bold words hang in the air, Roman Reigns, accompanied by Paul Heyman, makes a grand entrance. Reigns, the undisputed Tribal Chief, and the face of WWE, commands the attention of the arena. He dismisses the local crowd’s relevance but acknowledges that Knight has managed to rally them behind him – a feat that Reigns respects, yet sees as futile.

Roman, with the poise of a leader, speaks of the changes in WWE during his time away. He credits himself for transforming the industry, claiming to have elevated it to a multi-billion-dollar level, casting his achievements as cinematic in scale. Heyman chimes in, reinforcing Roman’s star power. The tension escalates as Roman denigrates Knight’s efforts, accusing him of merely imitating a less successful version of his illustrious cousin.

Undeterred, LA Knight confronts Roman’s air of invincibility head-on. He isn’t there to be another name on the list of the conquered; he’s there to inaugurate the LA Knight era. Knight paints a vivid picture – not of cosplay, but of reality, where he stands as the one to dethrone Reigns. Knight’s defiance peaks as he envisions his victory, leaving Roman with nothing but a bloodline marked by defeat.

The confrontation intensifies, almost boiling over until WWE officials rush to prevent physicality. As Knight’s music surges again, it’s clear that this conflict is far from over. Fans are left buzzing, anticipation for Crown Jewel reaching fever pitch, where LA Knight’s promise to usher in a new era will be put to the ultimate test against Roman Reigns, the Tribal Chief who vows to remain unchallenged at the head of WWE’s table.

For today’s first match, we have, Kevin Owens against Austin Theory, with Grayson Waller providing his insights from the commentary table. The energy is palpable as the bell rings. Owens wastes no time, charging at Theory, who quickly escapes to ringside, seeking refuge. However, Owens’s pursuit is relentless.

The action intensifies when Theory turns the tide, shoving Owens against the ring apron and then rolling him back into the squared circle. Theory unleashes a left hand and attempts to corner Owens, looking to dominate early. But Owens quickly responds, blocking Theory’s punch and delivering a heavy right hand of his own.

Owens’s momentum builds with an atomic drop, followed by a forceful clothesline that sends Theory tumbling out of the ring. Without missing a beat, Owens lands another clothesline on Theory outside, asserting his dominance.

Back in the ring, Theory attempts his signature A-Town Down, but Owens expertly lands on his feet. Owens aims for the Stunner, only for Theory to counter with a quick left hand and a staggering blockbuster. The theory covers, but Owens powers out of the pin attempt. Not to be subdued, Theory continues his assault, stomping on Owens in the corner and setting him up on the top rope. But Owens will not be outdone, reversing Theory’s suplex attempt into a breathtaking suplex from the top rope.

The crowd roars as Owens builds steam, launching Theory into the ropes and delivering a punishing popup powerbomb. Owens then locks eyes with Waller at ringside, adds extra flair to his next move, and lands a devastating Stunner on Theory. With the crowd on its feet, Owens covers Theory, the referee counts, and it’s over.

The winner, by pinfall, is Kevin Owens, marking a spectacular start to SmackDown that will be talked about for weeks to come.

Backstage at SmackDown, Cathy Kelley catches up with Bianca Belair to discuss her upcoming match against Bayley. Bianca acknowledges their shared past, noting Bayley’s undeniable skill, but expresses that things have now become personal. She’s out for vengeance. Mid-interview, Damage CTRL blindsides Bianca, but the sudden chaos is quickly contained as Nick Aldis and WWE officials rush in to break up the scuffle.

Elsewhere behind the scenes, Logan Paul crosses paths with the Street Profits. They exchange a friendly handshake, and Ford comments on how it’s about time someone showed Rey Mysterio a lesson in humility. After Paul departs, Lashley steps in, remarking to the Profits that Paul’s attitude is the epitome of success. B-Fab appears, complimenting the Profits on their sharp new attire and watches, then pulls Lashley aside for a word.

Solo strides to the ring, his presence commanding attention, with Paul Heyman by his side. The arena is tense, every eye locked on the duo as they enter the ring. Heyman, ever the orator, takes the microphone and speaks with grave seriousness. He muses aloud, pondering if the audience grasps the gravity of this moment – the end of days for John Cena, the doctor of thuganomics.

Heyman declares that no one should blame Roman Reigns for what’s to come. Cena, he says, made his own bed by challenging the Bloodline. It’s Reigns who calls the shots, Heyman emphasizes, and when a threat like Cena emerges, Reigns has Solo, the enforcer, the assassin, to rely on.

As the crowd listens, Heyman paints a picture of Solo’s future – not just as an enforcer but as a future Tribal Chief. But for now, Heyman’s focus is Cena, who, according to him, chose the hard way. Discontent stirs in the crowd, their boos filling the space as Solo takes the microphone from Heyman.

Solo’s words are few but pointed. He questions Heyman’s intentions, stating they didn’t come to talk to the crowd; they came for Cena, to confront him directly.

The atmosphere electrifies as John Cena’s music hits, and he appears to a roaring welcome from the fans. Cena enters the ring, facing Solo head-on. Solo, unflinching, delivers a message from the Tribal Chief – he hands Cena a microphone, a tool for what he suggests will be Cena’s farewell to the fans.

Cena, microphone in hand, confronts Solo’s assertions. He questions Solo’s understanding of the situation, belittling his contribution to the dialogue. Cena declares confidently that even at half-strength, his voice can outmatch Solo’s, insisting he isn’t the one who’ll be saying goodbye. Instead, he’ll be the one bidding farewell on behalf of the fans to Solo’s career aspirations.

Cena’s retort is scathing. He credits Solo’s job to his cousin’s influence and mocks him as a mere imitation of past wrestling greats. With a final jab, Cena predicts an embarrassing defeat for Solo at Crown Jewel, dropping the microphone with precision timing and exiting the ring, leaving Solo and Heyman to absorb the impact of his words.

As Pretty Deadly struts down to the ring, the Brawling Brutes pounce on them without warning. The fight kicks off on the ramp and quickly spills into the ring as the bell sounds. The Brutes, Butch and Holland, dish out the 10 Beats of the Bodhrán to their opponents with rapid-fire strikes. Holland gets Prince in a tree of woe, hanging him upside down, and together with Butch, they unleash a fierce double-team assault.

Back in the ring, Wilson finds himself perched on the second rope by Butch, but Prince intervenes, striking Butch with a beer bottle. Pretty Deadly capitalizes, smashing Butch through the table. Wilson covers, the referee counts, and Pretty Deadly clinches the win.
