The matches and the PPV was pretty entertaining leading us into WrestleMania. 

 

SmackDown

Daniel Bryan opens the show. to talk about what it meant to him to win the men's Royal Rumble. He wanted to change his life one more time by main eventing WrestleMania one last time. He was not certain of how many more WrestleMania moments he had left.

He put over Chad Gable and Otis with the Alpha Academy getting him in shape for a long difficult climb to the top. AJ Styles interrupted as part of the quarterly Brand-to-Brand Invitational, setting up e challenge by The Planet's Champion for later in the night.

Styles pushed Bryan to the mat, and Omos got in the way of The Planet's Champion seeking retribution. Bryan called out Styles for standing behind the big man too much.

Bianca Belair vs. Bayley

Bianca Beliar won

Baron Corbin vs. Dominik Mysterio

Baron Corbin won

WWE showed a video package for the whole history of Kevin Owens and Roman Reigns. Michael Cole led a final interview between The Head of the Table and KO. Owens explained that he would never stop getting back up on Sunday until he won.

Paul Heyman refused to let Reigns waste his words on KO, but The Head of the Tables heard Owens speak for too long. He blamed Owens' father for raising him the wrong way to believe he could beat a better man. He called him and his whole family fools.

With each painful word, Owens lost his cool more and more, calling him a fake mob boss. Reigns turned off the camera for his side of the interview as KO yelled at the screen with fire. Owens looked ready to find Reigns and start the fight early.

Great show and matches 

SmackDown

Roman Reigns opens the show.

Paul Heyman says he's incredibly nervous. Knowing Roman Reigns since he was born, everyone knew that this was destined to happen. Tonight, we're gathered here to declare Roman Reigns the Tribal Chief. Not of his family, SmackDown, or the WWE. 

Heyman seems terrified. Roman takes the mic and says he doesn't want Paul Heyman to call him the Tribal Chief, because Jey didn't do it at Clash of Champions. 

He demands Jey to come to the ring, which he does. 

Jey Uso doubled down on everything, claiming that he doesn't know THIS Roman Reigns. The Universal Champion demolished him, but Jey Uso's spirit was never broken. 

What came out of Jey's mouth next may have been because of the possible concussion, but he claims that if Jimmy never threw the towel for him, Jey would be Universal Champion right now. 

Roman Reigns claims that Clash of Champions was the worst night of his life. He was trying to help Jey and give him an honest shot at the Universal Championship. Roman still loves Jey, and goes so far as to say he loves Jey more than Jimmy does. 

Roman believes this is his birthright, and all he wanted Sunday was for Jey to acknowledge him. On Sunday, Jey broke Roman's heart. Roman was still looking to mend things, but Jey kept looking at the Universal Championship. 

Roman gave it to him without question. At Hell in a Cell, Jey Uso gets a rematch for the Universal Championship. Roman hugged his cousin one last time, saying that he still loves him. 

Jey accepts as Roman and Paul Heyman walk away. As Jey stands in the ring, AJ Styles comes out. The Phenomenal One says that Jey Uso matters to him, and he doesn't want to see Jey take that beating at Hell in a Cell. 

Of course, it was all to ask for Jey's opportunity. After all, Jimmy is the better athlete. Well, that was the last straw. Jey Uso tackles AJ to the floor and hits a flying crossbody off the announcer's desk.

Sheamus vs. Chad Gable

Kevin Owens is backstage getting ready for the SmackDown official KO Show with Alexa Bliss. Behind him, a screen flashes, erasing the SmackDown logo for the Firefly Fun House one instead. 

Kevin Owens states that after the WWE Draft, he could be making SmackDown his new home. When WWE offered him the opportunity to come here to host the KO Show, he jumped at the opportunity. HE has a lot of questions for his guest tonight, the Goddess Alexa Bliss. 

Owens claims that the anger and frustration he sees in Alexa Bliss is something he also sees in Aleister Black on RAW. The Alexa Bliss he sees in front of him is not the one he used to know back at the Performance Center. 

Bliss asks if Kevin wants to change and become better. Owens states that he does, which may end up letting The Fiend in. 

Owens feels that if he understands what's happened to Alexa Bliss, he'll hopefully understand what happened to Aleister Black. 

Bliss asks if Owens has ever been around The Fiend. Your spine goes cold, your body numb. When he looks into your eyes, you're unable to get away. Owens claims that Bliss is brainwashed. Bliss admits it but claims its more of a cleansing than anything else. 

Owens knows what's coming, and when Bliss says "Let Him In" he stands up ready for a fight. However, the lights go out, and when they come back up, red, The Fiend has the Mandible Claw on Kevin Owens. 

As The Fiend finishes Owens, he turns around to see Alexa Bliss staring into his soul.

 

 Bliss takes his hand and flashes a wicked smile to the camera before they disappear.

Matt Riddle and Lince Dorado & Gran Metalik vs. Cesaro and Shinsuke Nakamura and Baron Corbin

Great show and matches 

 

 

SmackDown

SmackDown opens with an tribute card to Road Warrior Animal.

On Sunday, the Intercontinental Championship will be on the line in a ladder match. As two different Superstars have a claim to the championship, both IC title belts will be hanging above the ring during the Clash of Champions match. Tonight, WWE is hosting both belts over the ring ahead of the match.

Sami Zayn and current IC champ Jeff Hardy are now in the ring.

Before they hang the titles up above the ring, AJ Styles has some choice words for both his opponents.

Sami informs us that this match shouldn't be happening.

Sami asks Jeff if he has any idea how dangerous a ladder match can be.

Sami starts to climb out of the ring as AJ and Jeff stand face to face, jawjacking. Sami turns around and pushes a ladder on top of both of them.

As he heads back to the ring, very pleased with himself, Adam Pierce - who I guess is in charge around here these days - tells Sami that he's now in the Styles/Hardy match scheduled for tonight.

Jeff Hardy vs. Sami Zayn vs. AJ Styles 

Sami Zayn won 

AJ comes back to the ring and hits everyone with a ladder, then climbs the ladder to pull down the two title belts.

Bayley was out with her new sidekick, the steel chair she used to "break the Boss". She sat down on the ramp on SmackDown and said that Nikki Cross made a mistake thinking she was going to be easy to beat without Sasha. Bayley let Cross know that she had a new best friend as she stared menacingly at her steel chair.

 

 

Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Gran Metalik 

Shinsuke Nakamura won

After Cesaro attacks Lince Dorado while Dorado is checking on Metalik, Dorado shoves Kalisto to the mat and helps Metalik to the back. Kalisto is incredulous. 

We got a short video hyping Jey Uso and Roman Reigns Universal Championship  match at Clash of Champions. After we saw Jey knocking on Roman's locker room backstage on SmackDown. Jey didn't get an answer and headed to the ring.

Jey Uso came out on SmackDown and asked Reigns what the deal was last week with the look that he gave Uso behind his back. Paul Heyman came outside the locker room and said that Reigns will answer that face to face, in the ring, tonight.

Baron Corbin vs. Matt Riddle on SmackDown

Baron Corbin won

Alexa Bliss vs. Lacey Evans 

Alexa was having a normal match when we heard the Fiend's laughter that resulted in Alexa spacing out again and SmackDown headed for commercials. We returned to see Lacey in control but Bliss got back momentum with a dropkick.

The Fiend's creepy music came on and the lights turned red when Bliss lost it and attacked Lacey. She kept kicking her on the ground as the referee called the match due to disqualification.

Bliss took Lacey outside and hit the Sister Abigail before The Fiend appeared on the Titantron saying "let me in" and Alexa just laughed and left. As she left, Roman Reigns was making his entrance and she stared at the champion angrily.

Roman Reigns was out on SmackDown with Paul Heyman and Jey Uso came out as well. Roman said he would give Jey the title if he could but Jey wouldn't understand how to be a proper champion. He kept making underhanded insults and said the family depends on Roman as the 'tribal chief'. Roman even sneaked in a: 'it will never be you', for the added burn.

Jey got on the mic as Roman was walking out and said "What if you're wrong?". Jey was getting emotional as he said after Sunday, everyone would know who he is. Roman walked out without saying anything but he came back to hit Jey with a Superman Punch on the ramp and said that he would never take Roman's place at the 'head of the table'.

 

Rating: 80/80

 

Pretty awesome show and matches.

Backstage, Big E has a cake for Xavier Woods, who is returning tonight and will be hosting Talking Smack. Sadly, he's not back from injury just yet. A security guard tells E that Woods has arrived, and when E goes to the parking lot to greet him with the cake, he's blindsided by Sheamus. 

Nia Jax and Shayna (c) vs. Bayley and Sasha Banks for the Women Tag Titles 

Nia Jax & Jax won and retains the Women’s Tag Team Titles

After the match, the medical team checks on Sasha and tries to gingerly get her to her feet while Bayley looks on with tears in her eyes. 

Back from the break, Banks is still getting help from the ring crew. Banks shoves everyone away, but Bayley comes in and says she'll take care of her. Bayley helps Banks to the apron, but then attacks her! 

Bayley bounces Sasha's knee off the steps and stomps it out before bouncing her off the barricade again. Bayley brings her in the ring for some more punishment. Bayley seems to blame Michael Cole for what she's doing, as Cole planted seeds of doubt for nearly a year in their friendship. 

Bayley says Banks deserves all of this, before continuing the attack on the knee, this time with a steel chair.

Sami Zayn came out.

Sami Zayn demands that he gets treated correctly, and wants to be called "Intercontinental Champion Sami Zayn." 

Jeff Hardy comes out, claiming that he would've given Sami Zayn a shot at the IC Championship if he'd just asked. Sami says that's impossible, because he's the Intercontinental Champion. AJ Styles, a man with no leg to stand on, comes to the ring and claims that he's the champ. 

Styles attacks Hardy, and Zayn thinks he'll join in on it, but Styles kicks him in the neck. Hardy stops a Styles Clash, dropping Styles with the Twist of Fate. Zayn pushes Hardy into the corner and hits the Helluva Kick, walking away as the lone IC Champion standing.

SmackDown

SmackDown opens with an tribute to WWE Hall of Famer "Bullet" Bob Armstrong. 

Adam Pearce is with the security team backstage, saying that tonight is a volatile concoction waiting to explode. Roman, Bray, and Strowman are here, Retribution is always looming, and Vince McMahon is here as well! 

McMahon gives Pearce a mission tonight. Have all three participants sign the contract for the WWE Universal Championship match for Payback. 

Jeff Hardy comes out.

Last week, Hardy was able to steal the Intercontinental Championship from AJ Styles when he accidentally landed a blow to Styles' face with his knee brace, allowing him to hit the Swanton Bomb. 

Styles says that Hardy faked the severity of the injury so he could get an "illegal object" in the match. What a monster. 

Styles is unable to compete tonight, as he's not medically cleared. Jeff says that's too bad, as he's issuing an open challenge to the IC Championship for anybody in the SmackDown locker room. Of course everyone but Styles.

Pearce is able to get Bray Wyatt to sign "for The Fiend." That's one down for Pearce, two to go. 

Matt Riddle challenges King Corbin to a match. Corbin is only a distraction for Chad Gable to lay him out. Corbin accepts Riddle's offer on behalf of Gable.
