SmackDown Live

Bray Wyatt makes his way out at the top of the show with the WWE title around his waist. It's great to see him getting the spotlight after all his years of hard work putting other people over. It's interesting to see Orton absent from his entrance. "You Deserve It" chants break out before he speaks.
Wyatt talks about knowing this day would come as says he has the whole damn world in his hands as he holds up the belt. After some usual Wyatt rhetoric, he welcomes us to The Era of Wyatt. Then John Cena's music hits
Cena says Wyatt must have some members of the crowd brainwashed because they are 
saying “You deserve it.” He says nobody deserves anything, they have to earn what they get. Cena wants their match to start right now, but AJ Styles' music interrupts.
Styles says there is no way Cena is going to get his title shot before he does. He brags about beating Cena several times and says he knows he can beat Wyatt. Daniel Bryan's music hits and he comes out to make a decision.
Bryan decides both men deserve rematches, so he books a Triple Threat for the title in the main event.

The Ascension vs. American Alpha

American Alpha won 

The Usos is on the big screen and basically puts American Alpha on notice.


James Ellsworth is in the ring after the break and he gives a quick promo introducing Carmella for some reason. Dean Ambrose's music hits, but he doesn't come out. Then Baron Corbin comes out dragging Ambrose.
Corbin destroys Ambrose. He ends up sending him into a pile of boxes near the stage and some sparks fly. Several officials come out to check on him as Corbin walks away.

Nikki and Natalya end up fighting backstage again and Bryan flips out at them. He books a Falls Count Anywhere match between them for next week and storms off as security tries to hold both women back.

Mickie James vs. Becky Lynch
Mickie James won
Renee Young interviews Naomi after the break and the crowd chants You Deserve It. Then she reveals she is injured from her match with Alexa Bliss, but promises to leave WrestleMania as champion. Bliss comes out and says Naomi got lucky.
Bliss plays her usual mean girl character to perfection. Naomi threatens her and Bliss says she is giving Naomi one week before she demands her rematch.

Bray Wyatt (c) vs. John Cena vs. AJ Styles in a triple threat for the WWE Championship
Bray Wyatt retained the WWE Championship
As Bray is on his knees with the title, Randy Orton comes out and heads to the ring to come face to face with Bray Wyatt and He reminds us how he won the Royal Rumble and the right to face the champion, but as long as Wyatt is the master and he is the servant, he refuses to face him at WrestleMania. He says he pledges his undying allegiance to Wyatt and the crowd boos. Then he hands over the mic and kneels down.
The show ends with Orton and Wyatt posing together in the ring.

I really thought Orton was playing and he was going to RKO Wyatt at the end of this but I guess he is going okay mind games with Wyatt and 
everyone I doubt he would give upcoming his Championship opportunity 
for Wyatt but hey I could be wrong.

Rating 95/95

Pretty awesome show and matches.
