The Usos crowned Roman Reigns as king following his match against Xavier Woods on last night’s SmackDown.

Universal Champion Reigns faced off with Woods in a non-title match in last night’s main event. Paul Heyman said that, if Woods lost, he would have to acknowledge Reigns. Heyman also declared that, if Reigns lost, he would take a bended knee to King Woods. Heyman said that if Reigns didn’t, he would be stripped of the Universal Championship and banished from SmackDown.

But the match ended in a “no contest” after The Usos interfered. Woods hit a coast-to-coast elbow drop on Reigns and was going for the pin when The Usos pulled Woods out of the ring and started beating him down.

The Usos hit Woods with the steel steps and sent him over the announce table. The Usos then put Woods’ crown on Reigns’ head.

Kofi Kingston wasn’t with Woods last night after having his leg attacked by Reigns and The Usos the previous week. Reigns is set to face WWE Champion Big E in a non-title champion vs. champion match at Survivor Series on Sunday, November 21.

Ahead of their match at Survivor Series, SmackDown Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair addressed Raw Women’s Champion Becky Lynch last night. A couple of changes were also made to SmackDown’s Survivor Series teams. Aliyah was removed from SmackDown’s women’s team, while Sami Zayn lost his spot on the men’s team.
