December 26 , 2014 Smackdown results The December 26 , 2014 Edition of Smackdown is a Professional wrestling television show of the WWE ' s Smackdown brand , which will take place on December 21 , 2014 at the Tyson Events Center in Sioux City , Iowa . Summary . What says holiday spirit more than a festive dose of Hulkamania ? Hulk Hogan sat at the helm of “ Second Longest - Running Episodic Television Show in History ” this week , giving the WWE Universe the gift of an impromptu United States Championship Match and an earth - shattering tag team main event . While the immortal Hulkster kicked off SmackDown with a bang , Seth Rollins quickly interrupted to deem the WWE Hall of Famer the “ Seth Rollins of the ’ 80s ” and to inform Hogan that WWE ’ s ring now belonged to him . When Mr . Money in the Bank warned the iconic Superstar to endorse him as the “ Future of WWE , ” though , Hogan said that title might belong to Dolph Ziggler . The humbled Showoff emerged to invite Rollins to leave the ring and things nearly came to blows . Before they could , however , Big Show interrupted to add his size to the equation , only to be countered balanced by Roman Reigns . After consulting with the fans , Hogan opted to defuse the situation with a huge SmackDown main event : Reigns & Ziggler vs . Big Show & Rollins ! Though Rusev decided to get involved in Ryback ’ s showdown against Kane , The Human Wrecking Ball was able to knock The Hero of the Russian Federation from the apron and defeat his opponent with a Meat Hook Clothesline / Shell Shocked combination . But after the contest , a double assault by the Russian Superstar and The Demon proved too much for Ryback to handle , culminating in Rusev locking The Big Guy in the excruciating Accolade . Later , as a result of Rusev ’ s actions , Hulk Hogan decided that he would put his United States Title on the line and wouldn ’ t learn whom his No . 1 contender would be until he got to the ring With The Miz watching from the backstage monitor , Naomi overcame Alicia Fox with an impressive Split Leg Moonsault . Four days after giving The Bunny the gift of a first - class beat down on Raw , Adam Rose took the fight to R - Truth on SmackDown . And after executing the questionable tactic of hurling the Rapping Superstar into the unforgiving steel ring post , Rose pinned Truth with Party Foul . Despite a protest by “ The Ravishing Russian ” Lana over Hulk Hogan ’ s decision to place Rusev in a United States Title Match , The Hero of the Russian Federation was ready to go . His surprise No . 1 contender : Dean Ambrose ! In the final moments of the intense match , Bray Wyatt attacked The Lunatic Fringe outside the ring , bringing a swift end to the match by disqualification . While The Eater of Worlds tried to dismantle his unstable adversary after the bell , Ambrose fired back with a pile of chairs and ultimately sent Wyatt heading for the hills . Despite the fact that The Miz tried to extend a hand in friendship to “ help ” his opponent , Jimmy Uso instead presented him with the counter offer of a high - flying Samoan Splash for a victory of retribution . Though Roman Romans Speared Big Show in the height of blockbuster SmackDown ’ s main event , a little help from J & J Security allowed Seth Rollins to regain the advantage over his former Shield cohort . But once Dolph Ziggler took out both Joey Mercury and Jamie Noble , Reigns roared back with a second Spear of the night on Mr . Money in the Bank for the huge holiday tag team victory .
