Welcome to the Smackdown review for January 8, 2021
Storyline
Roman Reigns has taken over Smackdown. He ran this show like his last name was McMahon. In the final match, he threw Adam Pierce into the match and made him the winner to face him later If you are only familiar with Adam through his authority role backstage, check out his career especially in NWA. This might be the match for Royal Rumble, or it might be the prelude to something bigger.

Dolph Ziggler and Robert Roode beat the Street Prophets to become the new Tag Team champions.
