SmackDown Live

SmackDown opens with John Cena heading to the ring.
Cena talks about not having a spot at WrestleMania and says he wants a spot in the Fastlane title match, which already has five people. He claims he doesn't want to be handed anything and is more than willing to earn it. This brings out Shane McMahon. 

Shane says it's good to have Cena back on SmackDown, but he doesn't seem too keen on the idea of putting Cena into the WWE Championship match at Flastlane right away. Daniel Bryan's music hits and he comes to the ring to share his thoughts on the matter.

Bryan says he thinks he and Shane are on the same page for once. He talks about how all five guys already earned their spot in the title match, but he is willing to give Cena a chance, too. Bryan books Cena to face AJ Styles tonight, and if he wins, he is in the title match at Fastlane.

The New Day is out after the break to give out some pancakes, much to the dismay of Corey Graves. Woods talks about how they want to secure a spot at WrestleMania, but they have to focus on The Usos first.

The Usos come out and talk about how they used to be just like The New Day. They used to dance around and wear bright colors, but they had to change in order to rise up to the next level. They talk about how they have never had a match at WrestleMania and how that will change this year.

Big E gets fired up and talks about how they have been breaking down barriers and setting records while The Usos were in the back eating catering. They almost come to blows, but then The Bludgeon Brothers' music hits.

The Usos and New Day choose to leave instead of engaging with Harper and Rowan

Before Nakamura can even leave the ring following his match, John Cena makes his entrance for the main event. They stare at each other for a moment before Cena gets in the ring.

John Cena vs. AJ Styles (if Cena wins he’ll be added to the WWE Title match at WWE Fastlane)

John Cena won. He is now part of the  WWE Championship match at Fastlane which is a Six Pack Challenge now! Poor AJ Styles. Really rooting for him.

John Cena is out after the break to talk about his plans for WrestleMania.

Cena says a person's character is tested when their back is against the wall, and that is where he is at right now. He says it's time he put out a WrestleMania challenge to The Undertaker. 

Cena gets the crowd fired up, but then he says he has been told by management that a match against Taker is impossible. He says he is going back to SmackDown as a free agent tomorrow so he can earn a spot at WrestleMania.

Bray Wyatt comes to the ring for a match against Heath Slater, but he ends up attacking both Slater and Rhyno before the bell. The match never starts and Wyatt ends up destroying both men with ease. He grabs a mic and says Matt Hardy made him hurt these innocent men and that the great war is far from over.

The Miz comes to the ring to find out who he will face at WrestleMania

The Miz berates WWE for not using his picture on posters or selling his merchandise as much as others. He says he is sick of being taken for granted and the disrespect he receives. He really starts to lose it when he talks about how Angle didn't have a plan in place for him at Mania. He says his opponent tonight will get a beating. Seth Rollins' music hits and he heads to the ring.

Elias takes advantage of a blinded Strowman, but Braun eventually recovers and runs him over on the ramp. He keeps wiping his eyes as he drags Elias toward the announce table. Elias rakes the eyes and runs away to avoid being put through the table. Braun chases him backstage, but his eyes are still messed up. A limo pulls up next to Strowman as Elias runs away.

Stephanie McMahon and Triple H come out after the break and say last night should have been the best night of their executive careers, but it was ruined by Kurt Angle.

Stephanie says since Rousey signed her contract, WWE owns her now. She tells Angle to come out and apologize for what he said last night, but Rousey's music hits instead and she marches to the ring. Kurt comes out and tells her to calm down. She says she wants to be in WWE more than anything, but she refuses to be disrespected.

Angle claims he lied last night and says it was due to being sick for the past few weeks. He back peddles on everything he said and Steph thanks him. Ronda says Steph need to apologize for slapping her or she will rip Stephanie's arm out of its socket. McMahon says she is sorry and she overreacted. Then, out of nowhere, Triple H takes a cheap shot at Angle and lays him out. This is clearly leading to Triple H and Stephanie McMahon vs. Ronda and Kurt at WrestleMania.

The show ends with Rousey helping Angle to his feet.

Who was in the limbo though?! How you going to end on that?!

Miz reminds Cena that he is the founding father of Suplex City after Lesnar destroyed him a couple of years ago. Cena says Miz has no chance against Brock unless he gets food poisoning or misses his flight. Miz says he could beat Lesnar because he can use his brain, not brawn. He says he can cross lines Cena refuses to, and that's why he beat Reigns for the IC title.

As he asks for people to wish Jordan a speedy recover, Seth Rollins' music hits and he heads to the ring.
Rollins says he feels for Jordan because he has been in the same position before. He knows WrestleMania moments are not guaranteed, and that's why he is out here. Angle suggests finding a new partner, but Rollins says he doesn't want another partner because he wants to be the top star again. He says he wants to face Lesnar and win the Universal Championship at WrestleMania, so he asks to be included in the match to find the last participant in the Chamber match.

Angle says it wouldn't be fair to the other four Superstars if Rollins was added to the match. Rollins pleads with him, but Angle says it's up to the fans. He asks the crowd if Seth should be included and everyone chants "Yes." Angle books Rollins into the match to make it a Fatal 5-Way.
