There was a title change during the WWE SmackDown tapings that will air this Friday

As previously noted, WWE is giving the wrestlers time off work on Christmas Day so this week’s episode of Friday Night SmackDown was taped on Tuesday.

During the tapings, Big E defeated Sami Zayn to win the Intercontinental Championship in a Lumberjack match. Big E celebrated with the lumberjacks as the show went off the air so fans will get a happy ending on Christmas if they watch SmackDown.

The match between Big E and Sami Zayn was originally scheduled for the TLC pay-per-view but Vince McMahon decided to hold off on it until SmackDown.

We will have more spoilers up shortly. SmackDown will also include Roman Reigns and Kevin Owens facing off again for the Universal Championship but this time the match will take place inside of a Steel Cage.

Also, Asuka and Charlotte Flair will defend the Women’s Tag Team Titles against the team of Sasha Banks & Bianca Belair and Bayley & Carmella in a Triple Threat Match.

Complete spoilers are coming shortly.
