SmackDown Live

SmackDown Live opened up with an recap of the last week actions of AJ Styles and involving Shane McMahon.

SmackDown kicks off backstage with Daniel Bryan. He is soon joined by Styles, who seems like he's in a great mood and asks about Shane. Bryan tells him he has no idea what he's gotten himself into and adds that Shane was a man about the situation because he didn't ambush Styles.

Styles tells him that he felt so good demanding his opportunity last week that he wants to do it again. We then see Styles strolling down the ramp toward the ring.

Styles says that Shane must be crazier than anyone thought and then accepts his challenge. He admits that he wants to be at WrestleMania cause its the Ultimate Thrill Ride. However, he still maintains that Shane needs this match because the blue brand would crumble without him.

He then tells us that he's going to wait for Shane and added that if we thought that last week was bad, this one will be phenomenally worse. 

We return from the break to see Bryan on a call with Shane. He warns Shane that Styles is waiting for him. Shane says something that we can't hear and Bryan smiles and says it might work. 

Corbin walks in on him and demands Ambrose. Bryan tells him that he hasn't heard from Ambrose in a while. Corbin then says he's glad to have a day off and almost leaves. Bryan stops him and gives him a match with the Viper instead.

American Alpha vs. the Usos for the WWE Tag Team Titles

The Usos won 

 Baron Corbin vs. Randy Orton

Both men lie on the canvas until Ambrose appears on a fork lift and says, 'Corbin, you busy?'. Orton takes advantage of the distracted Corbin and finishes the bout with an RKO. 

Randy Orton wins.

Ambrose then walks to the ring and asks Corbin if he wants a match for the IC title at 'Mania and tells him he has got it. He underlines his statement with a DDT and then storms out. 

Young asks Orton what his response is after Wyatt's actions last week on the Titantron. He says he doesn't know what he should do to get rid of Wyatt and as he speaks, the light dims and all of a sudden Orton is surrounded by men in sheep masks. Orton tries to fight them but is overpowered. 

Tyler Breeze seems to have chosen to dress like Nikki Bella.

Before the match starts Fandango takes the mic and gives Cena tickets. He finally tells him that he will expose him for the poor wrestler that he is. He then introduces his 'muscle' as Breezy Bella. Cena points toward the ramp and Nikki Bella walks down it. 

Fandango vs. John Cena:

After Fandango throws some tickets at Cena, John takes control and finishes with a five knuckle shuffle. Breeze tries to help Fandango but is speared by Nikki Bella. The couple then plant the tag team in sync with an AA and a rack attack 2.0. They then finish the bout with the STF.

Cena wins.

Becky Lynch vs. Carmella:

Becky starts with a spin kick to the body and Carmella rolls out of the ring. Lynch follows his and lands a right hand. As they re-enter Carmella lands a boot to her face. However, before she can take advantage, she is ambushed by Natalya who clotheslines her. 

Carmella wins by DQ. 

James then joins the fray, followed by the Champ. James takes out Natalya and is inturn taken out by Bliss. Lynch then dives on Ellsworth and Carmella from the third rope and hits Ellsworth. After all the chaos, Alexa is left standing tall in the center of the ring.

Renee catches up with Styles backstage and asks him of his intentions. A car pulls up and Rhyno & Slater walk out, meanwhile Shane's music goes off in the arena. He strolls down the ramp and into the ring.

Backstage, Renee tells Styles that Shane is in the ring waiting for him . 

He tells AJ that he acts like a tough guy only when he has his back turned. He goes on to say that Styles could have handled it by speaking to him man-to-man or thrown down instead of ambushing him. 

He then threaten to go to Styles if he doesn't want to come out. 

Styles paces slowly down and walks into the Gorilla position. He stops, picks up a mic and walks out. He starts by telling Styles to calm down by taking ten seconds. He tries to tell Shane to understand him and says that he made a mistake. He then says that he's sorry.

He goes on to say that Shane did him a favour and says he's not like the other McMahons. He then says that he is going to walk into the ring and sincerely apologize man to man. As soon as he steps in, Shane rains right hands and the action pours out. He then plants Shane onto the barricade. Styles picks up the exhausted Shane, who turns it around into a suplex.

Shane then picks up a monitor, after clearing the commentary table and slams Styles with it. He places AJ on the table, climbs on the top rope and slams into AJ and the table with an elbow drop. The crowd is left chanting 'HOLY SHIT" as SmackDown draws to a close with Shane pointing at the WrestleMania sign. 

Rating : 90/90
