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.
Sami Zayn vs. Baron Corbin
Dolph Ziggler comes out of nowhere and superkicks Owens. The distraction allows Corbin to hit the End of Days for the pin and the win.
Ziggler runs in and drops Corbin with a Zig Zag after the match is over.
Naomi vs. Ruby Riott
Ruby Riott won
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
Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Adin English
Shinsuke Nakamura won
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.
Owens and Zayn start walking toward the ring, but Cena gets blindsided by Baron Corbin. KO goes after AJ while Sami and Baron team up on Cena. Ziggler's music hits and he runs down to take out Corbin with a superkick. He hits another one to Zayn after sending KO out of the ring. Dolph attacks AJ out of nowhere, but Cena hits him with an AA to end the show.
Rating: 80/80
Great show and matches as we look on to WWE Fastlane.
