1/15 WWE Smackdown Results: Daniel Bryan Returns to Action, Barrett Defends the Intercontinental Title, Big Main Event Match & More

Intercontinental Championship

Bad News Barrett (c) vs. Sin Cara

Sin Cara with a nice roll-up as he tries to steal the match early. He goes to the ropes but Barrett drops him with a big boot then goes to work with elbows and knee-lifts. He goes into a headlock and Sin Cara battles back, fighting free and coming off the ropes with not one, not two, but three springboard crossbody splashes. Challenger off the top rope, landing on his feet, but he runs into the Winds of Change for two. Barrett flips over his elbow pad and sets up for the Bull Hammer, but Sin Cara rolls through and dead-lifts the big man with a massive one-arm slam (WOW!). He comes off the springboard but runs into the Bull Hammer in the air for the win. 

Winner: Bad News Barrett

Backstage, Dean Ambrose says he doesn’t play well with others. He talks about the Royal Rumble match, and the person who wins being somebody that doesn’t care about all the “do the right things” crap. Ambrose says two of his competitors are his partners tonight, but his focus is on ending the Authority.
