SmackDown Live


SmackDown opens with highlights from the Superstar Shake-up on Raw before going live to the arena for an episode of The Kevin Owens Show.


The crowd cheers for Owens for a long time before he can speak to his fellow Canadians in French to welcome them to the show. He talks about the Superstar Shake-up. He brings out his guest for the night, Kofi Kingston.


Owens leads the crowd in congratulating Kingston on winning the WWE title at WrestleMania. Woods and Kofi mention how Big E was injured last week. He also complains about WWE taking all of his UpUpDownDown friends in the Shake-up and demands Tyler Breeze be moved to SmackDown.


Owens offers to take Big E's place for tonight and calls himself Big O. Woods asks if Owens is up to everything it takes to be in The New Day and Owens says he is up to the challenge. Kofi asks the crowd if they should team with Owens and everyone chants "oi." Kofi offers Kevin his crop top and Owens puts it on over his shirt. Woods gives him a unicorn horn to make it official.


Finn Balor is revealed as the first Superstar moving to SmackDown in the Shake-Up.

He looks over at Carmella and starts to walk toward her until the ref helps her get out of the ring. He grabs Truth one more time to hit a running powerbomb.




Becky Lynch is out after the break to talk more about winning both titles at WrestleMania. The crowd chants "Becky Two Belts" as she talks about the Superstar Shake-up. Ember Moon's music hits, indicating she has moved to the blue brand. She says Becky had better get used to seeing her around on SmackDown.


Bayley's music hits and she also comes out to let everyone know she is on SmackDown. The Hugger and The Man have a moment catching up about what the past year has been like. Bayley mentions that she is now a singles competitor before The IIconics come out with the tag titles.


Paige comes out to reveal which tag team she has brought to SmackDown for the Superstar Shake-up. She says she will be managing this new duo, but before she can say anything, Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville come out to the ring to interrupt. Paige says she isn't there for Mandy and Sonya, she is there to represent Asuka and Kairi Sane.


Becky quietly leaves the ring while all of the women battle everyone else.
