Incredible show and matches as we look on to WrestleMania 34.

SmackDown Live

SmackDown opens with Dasha Fuentes in the ring to welcome Charlotte Flair.

Dasha also brings out Ruby Riott and  her squad to talk about the title match on Sunday. Ruby cuts off Dasha and says she will take it from here. She talks about how this all began in November when Charlotte won the title. She claims Charlotte has been set up for success her whole life because of her family.

Riott says Charlotte being the personification of the women's revolution is a myth, and that's why she formed The Riott Squad. Charlotte says the only myth is that she hasn't had to work for what she has. She claims her failures are always magnified because of who she is and that's why she works so hard. Ruby says she's going to knock Charlotte off her pedastal on Sunday.

Ruby signals her squad to get in the ring and Charlotte takes off her robe to prepare for a fight. Then Bobby Roode's music hits and he appears on the stage. Apparently his presence was enough to stop an attack before it happened.

Randy Orton can. Jinder Mahal (W/ Bobby Roode at commentary)

Roode gets on the apron and yells at Orton, allowing Mahal to take advantage and hit the Khallas for the pin and the win.

Rusev and Nakamura have a confrontation backstage and end up agreeing to a match at Fastlane.

AJ talks about the five men he has to defend the title against this Sunday, but he takes some extra time to address Cena's claim that he will become a 17-time champion.

Ziggler comes down and criticizes AJ for calling himself a man of the people. They trade insults and Dolph says Styles is going to lose because his head isn't in the match. He says the fans will stab him in the back as soon as he lets them down once. He talks about his own journey to the world title and how everyone jumped on his bandwagon. He says the fans don't deserve him because he is the best thing to happen to this company.

Styles says they shouldn't wait until later and they agree to start their match now.

AJ Styles vs. Dolph Ziggler

Pretty great show and matches as we look on to WWE Fastlane.

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.

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.
