SmackDown opens with Shane, Stephanie, Rowan and Daniel Bryan in the ring for the Fastlane WWE title match contract signing.
Shane recounts some of Kofi's career highlights, including some of his Royal Rumble saves over the years. They spend quite a bit of time talking about his career before Kingston actually heads to the ring.
Kingston takes a lap around the ring to high five everyone before he talks about his 11-year journey to this match with Daniel Bryan. The entire time he talks, Bryan just stares at him with a look of hatred. He thanks the fans for everything they have done to support him and make this happen.
Bryan signs the contract before saying a single word. Kofi is about to sign on the dotted line when Vince McMahon's music hits to interrupt him.
Vince says he is thankful for everything Kofi has done over the last 11 years, but he says his job is to provide the highest caliber competition he can, and that is why he is replacing Kingston in the WWE title match. Big E and Woods yell at Vince from the ring. Vince says Kofi is going to be replaced by Kevin Owens and the returning KO heads to the ring.
Owens sits down and signs the contract while The New Day yells at him. Kingston looks like he might cry as he leaves the ring. The crowd chants Kofi's name as he leaves the stage. All the while, Owens and Bryan are staring at each other.
Cesaro and Sheamus vs. The Hardy Boyz
The Hardy Boyz won
R- Truth comes out for a open challenge for the US Title

R - Truth (c) vs. Andrade Cien Almas and Rey Mysterio for the US Title in a Triple Threat Match
R- Truth retains the USTitle
Charlotte Flair is out after the break to talk about Becky Lynch and Ronda Rousey and the ongoing Raw women's title situation.
Charlotte says Vince made the main event of Fastlane better by putting KO in the match. She says it was almost as smart as when Vince booked her to face Rousey at WrestleMania. She says the reason she is the Queen is that she always does what is expected of her, unlike Lynch and Rousey.
Charlotte says she would never lay down the title she holds so dear and declares herself the true champion. She says she will show up on Raw so she can be named the new Raw women's champion after Ronda gave up the title.

RAW
RAW
opens with a video package showing Roman Reigns revealing his battle with
leukemia to the WWE Universe.
Reigns comes out when the show goes live. The crowd gives him a warm welcome. He looks a little nervous but still takes the time to give everyone along the aisle a high five. The Big Dog takes his time going around the ring to acknowledge all the fans at ringside.
The crowd chants Roman's name for several seconds as he looks around with a nervous but thankful look on his face. They chant "Welcome back" as he grabs a mic. He starts by thanking everyone and says he will probably say that a lot. He says he missed the fans and talks about how there isn't another fanbase like them in the world. The crowd chants "This is your yard" and he says it's "our" yard. He starts talking about how scared he was to reveal his diagnosis.
Reigns says he was overwhelmed by the level of support he received from the WWE Universe. He says this whole situation has given him a new purpose. He says he used to think about titles, but now he just wants to make sure he can step into the ring every night. He vows to use his platform to raise awareness and support those in need like he once was. He says he should probably get to the update WWE advertised. He says they hit a home run with his treatment and he is happy to announce he is in remission. The crowd goes wild with applause.
He screams "The Big Dog is back" and the crowd chants "Welcome back." He thanks the crowd one more time before his music plays to end the segment.
Seth Rollins comes out on the stage and hugs his Shield brother. Ambrose didn’t come out which was odd given the situation.
Aleister Black and Ricochet vs. Revival
The Revival attack Black
and Ricochet before the match started.
Aleister Black and
Ricochet won
Elias
is trying to perform, but he is interrupted by Lacey Evan and then by Dean
Ambrose. Elias tries to play his song again after Ambrose says he wants a No DQ
match against Drew McIntyre.
Ambrose
eventually hits Dirty Deeds and leaves. The Riott Squad comes out before Elias
is even out of the ring.
Ronda Rousey and Natalya
vs. Riott Squad
Becky
Lynch comes out of the crowd and hits Natalya with a crutch. Ronda comes to her
aide and it takes several producers to keep them apart. Some cops come down to
arrest Lynch just like Triple H said they would if she showed up again.
Ronda
Rousey comes to the ring and demands Vince McMahon come to the ring.
Stephanie's music hits and she comes out instead.
Rousey
says they need to reinstate Becky so they can settle their problems at
WrestleMania. Steph says Lynch was just arrested and Ronda says they can drop
the charges. McMahon says Rousey will face Charlotte at Mania.
Rousey
demands that Steph reinstate Becky and Stephanie gets angry. She says Rousey
has a bad attitude and nobody is bigger than WWE. Rousey says she isn't
owned by the McMahon
family. She says the title means too much to let this happen. She lays the belt
in the ring and leaves.
Kurt Angle vs. Jinder
Mahal
Kurt
Angle won
Alexa
Bliss is out after the break for another episode of her talk show. She welcomes
Finn Balor as her guest after trashing Ronda for a moment.
Bliss
flirts with Balor and is about to make him an interesting offer when Lio Rush
comes out on the stage. Lio says this talk show is a sham and Balor doesn't
deserve to be the IC champion. Rush says he won't leave until he takes the
title back from Balor. The champion makes it sound like Rush wants to prove he
is better than Lashley. He says he would like to defend the title against Rush
and Bliss goads him into accepting.
Finn
Balor (c) vs. Lio Rush for the ICTitle
Finn
Balor retains the ICTitle
Braun
Strowman vs. Bobby Lashley
Strowman runs around the
ring and runs Both men over. His music hits and he walks away, so no actual
match will take place.

McIntyre in a NO DQ Match
Elias comes down and
smacks Ambrose with a guitar. He sets him up so McIntyre can hit the Claymore
Kick for the pin and the win.
Lashley and Corbin come
down to join in on beating up Ambrose after the match, but Rollins and Reigns
come out to make the save. They take out all four men who were attacking Dean.
Reigns ends it with a Spear to McIntyre. They end up leaving before Ambrose
recovers but then look back toward Ambrose as he is getting up. The start of
The Shield reunion you all know we will get it before Ambrose leaves. (Which I
am still hoping he doesn't).
Bayley vs. Nia Jax
Bayley won
The roster is on the
stage after the break. The ring is decorated for Ric Flair's birthday
celebration.
Triple H and Stephanie McMahon make their way out. Shawn Michaels
is also brought to the ring to help celebrate.
Ricky Steamboat and Sting are
also brought to the ring. We see a video package highlighting Ric Flair. Stephanie
H reveals a custom title for Flair.
Ric Flair doesn't come out when his music
hits and we go backstage to see Batista. He pulls an unconscious Flair out of
his dressing room so Triple H can see him. He asks is he has Hunter's attention
now. Triple H runs backstage and finds Flair on the ground. He yells for a doctor
as the show goes off the air. I smell a Batista vs. Triple H at WrestleMania.
I'd dig it.
Rating:
80/80 Pretty great show leading to WWE Fastlane and WrestleMania. Wish there
was less commercials.
