On the road to WWE TLC: Tables, Ladders and Chairs 2020, the final stop was the December 18 edition of Friday Night SmackDown. This show, airing for the rare time on FS1, promised an impressive event ahead of the last big pay-per-view of the WWE year.

The Street Profits have been unstoppable as tag team champions, holding the Raw and SmackDown Tag Team Championship combined for 289 days as of this SmackDown. Dolph Ziggler and Robert Roode had plans to finally unseat Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford.

Bianca Belair has been a thorn in Bayley's side since WWE Survivor Series. The Role Model had a plan to teach a lesson to The EST in a battle of the present and future of the women's division.

Carmella announced she would hold a Champagne Toast ahead of her match with Sasha Banks at WWE TLC, basking in the certainty she would walk out as the new SmackDown women's champion.

After feeling slighted by the "biased" Slammy Awards, Sami Zayn decided it was time to create his own annual award show: the Sami Awards. He presented his year-end successes for the world.

This show had so much going for it, and it was all up to WWE to let the talent shine through on the go-home show for TLC!

Let's see what happened on the final SmackDown before TLC 2020!

The December 16 edition of NXT felt big, built on the back of the holidays rapidly approaching. WWE NXT promised New Year's Evil on January 6, but first, that card had to be set up.

The big match of this show was a No. 1 Contender's bout. After both claiming a shot at NXT champion Finn Balor, Pete Dunne and Kyle O'Reilly fought once again, this time for a main event spot at the post-New Year's show.

Two future title contenders and former champions went to war in another big match as Rhea Ripley challenged Toni Storm. It would not be the first time these two fought, but their attitudes have changed since they battled for the NXT UK Championship.

Karrion Kross made a surprise return to action after warning of his arrival at NXT TakeOver: WarGames. No one was ready for the emphatic statement he made by injuring Damian Priest. This week, he stepped back in an NXT ring.

Because of Kross' vicious attack, Leon Ruff was left without a partner until Kushida stepped up. Ruff and Kushida were set to work together to take on the new alliance of Johnny Gargano and Austin Theory.

The black-and-gold brand wanted to set up fireworks to come, and some of the best NXT talent in the world went to war for big opportunities in 2021.

'Twas the Monday before WWE TLC and all through the ThunderDome, Randy Orton  watched over his shoulder, waiting for The Fiend to roam.

The final episode of Raw hit the USA Network airwaves with an episode dedicated to the last bit of hype for Sunday's Tables, Ladders & Chairs pay-per-view extravaganza.

The TLC pay-per-view is set to take place December 20, and since WWE has already filled most of the card, Friday's SmackDown was all about selling the big feuds.

After several physical encounters over the past several weeks, Carmella and Sasha Banks signed the contract for their SmackDown women's title bout at TLC.

Dolph Ziggler and Robert Roode defeated The Street Profits two weeks ago, so Montez Ford was looking for some revenge when he took on The Showoff.

The previous week's show also featured growing tension between Big E and Sami Zayn. The two met for a match Friday, but the latter's intercontinental title was not on the line.

NXT went to war, and not everyone made it out in one piece. The December 9 edition of the black-and-gold brand promised a look back at Sunday's WarGames while also looking toward NXT New Year's Evil on Jan. 6.

Finn Balor has been absent for months due to his injury, but that looked to change. The NXT champion had a plan and wanted to face the best of the best from WarGames.

Raquel Gonzalez pinned NXT women's champion Io Shirai at WarGames, but some were still overlooking her. She wanted to make a statement by destroying Ember Moon in the main event.

Cameron Grimes and Tommaso Ciampa went through the wars on Sunday, but they weren't done. The Technical Savage stepped into the ring with The Blackheart, hoping to rewrite his path right back toward the moon.

This week's NXT was coming off the back of one of the best wrestling events of the year. It needed to make an impact, but only time would tell if it could.

War was hell for the top stars of NXT on Sunday night at TakeOver: WarGames, where Team Shotzi and Team Candice sought to settle their differences in the most barbaric gimmick match in professional wrestling, while Undisputed Era looked to silence the loudmouth Pat McAfee and his associates Pete Dunne, Danny Burch and Oney Lorcan.

Those two matches, taking place inside two rings surrounded by two unforgiving steel cages, headlined a live special that also featured the culmination of top rivalries, hard-hitting in-ring action and storyline developments that propelled the brand forward as 2020 comes to an end.
