The Usos will defend the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship on the December 30 episode of WWE SmackDown.
As confirmed during the December 16 episode of SmackDown, Hit Row (Top Dolla & Ashante “Thee” Adonis) will challenge Jimmy & Jey Uso for the gold. Top Dolla and Adonis faced The Viking Raiders (Erik & Ivar) and Legado del Fantasma (Cruz Del Toro & Joaquin Wilde), and they earned a title shot by winning the three-way bout.

Plus, a Gauntlet Match will determine SmackDown Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey’s next challenger. Raquel Rodriguez announced that she would compete in the match, despite her injured arm, as she’s determined to get revenge after Rousey and Shayna Baszler took her out of action. But the duo attacked Rodriguez again on Friday, leaving her status up in the air. The match initially advertised Emma, Rodriguez, Tegan Nox, Liv Morgan, Sonya Deville, and Xia Li.
Elsewhere on the show, in the spirit of Christmas, Braun Strowman and Ricochet will face Giovanni Vinci and Ludwig Kaiser in a Miracle on 34th Street Fight. Strowman has been feuding with Imperium in recent weeks, and he has also saved Ricochet from multiple beatdowns at the stable’s hands. Ricochet unsuccessfully challenged Gunther for the WWE Intercontinental Championship on the December 16 episode of SmackDown, and Strowman came to his aid when Imperium tried to attack him after the bell.
The card for the December 23 episode of SmackDown is as follows:
- Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship: The Usos (Jimmy & Jey Uso) vs. Hit Row (Top Dolla & Ashante “Thee” Adonis)
- Gauntlet Match: Emma vs. Raquel Rodriguez vs. Tegan Nox vs. Liv Morgan vs. Sonya Deville vs. Xia Li
- Miracle on 34th Street Fight: Braun Strowman & Ricochet vs. Imperium (Giovanni Vinci & Ludwig Kaiser) (with Gunther)
WrestleZone will have coverage of the show as it airs.
