WWE Friday Night SmackDown Results
February 12, 2021
St. Petersburg, Florida (Tropicana Field)
Commentary: Michael Cole and Corey Graves
Results by: Roy Nemer of Wrestleview.com

WWE SmackDown kicks off with Universal Champion Roman Reigns making his way down to the ring accompanied by his cousin Jey Uso and Paul Heyman. Adam Pearce is in the ring as the three men make their way up the steps and into the ring.

Roman tells Pearce not to stand so far away and to hurry up. He tells Pearce he doesn’t have authority over him. He tells Adam he is the sun, everything orbits around him. He doesn’t wait on anyone and not Edge. Roman says he saw Edge last week in the ring and Edge got nervous. He looked him in the eye and he got scared because Edge knows what Roman will do to him. He will beat him down so bad, they will have to put him on a legends contract. He’s just going to be an ambassador to the WWE when he’s done with h im.

Reigns says he won’t wait on Edge. Edge won’t pick him and he will never lose that title. Roman says that title will stay on his shoulder for as long as he wants. And to talk about why Pearce is here. Pearce says he has a contract which states that Roman will defend his WWE Universal Championship inside the Elimination Chamber, just like Drew McIntyre. Roman tells him he will let him deal with Paul.

Heyman says he serves as special council for Roman Reigns. He tells Pearce that Roman’s contract with the WWE states that Roman must show up at special events like the Elimination Chamber. Roman will defend his title at Elimination Chamber but it doesn’t say he has to defend it in the Elimination Chamber. Heyman says the winner of the Elimination Chamber will face Roman Reigns immediately after in a Universal Championship match. Heyman says the thing is that Pearce might not be happy but he can’t do anything about it, what’s he going to do, fire him? Last year’s WrestleMania without Roman was the lowest attendance of all time.

Pearce says there will be some qualifying matches tonight but he can think of two superstars that deserve to be in the Chamber and they don’t need to qualify. Pearce says Jey Uso will be in the Chamber match as Pearce leaves the ring. And after what happened at the Rumble, the second superstar who doesn’t need to qualify is Kevin Owens. Roman gets out of the ring and goes face to face with Pearce. He tells him he doesn’t care about them, right now, he cares about Pearce. Heyman tries to calm Roman down.

He says success and leadership, it’s not about what they can do for him, it’s about what he can do for them.
