Smackdown opens with the end of the main event of
WresteMania where The American Nightmare Cody Rhodes
defeated the Tribal Chief Roman Reigns for the WWE
Undisputed Universal Championship.
Out to the arena first is the new WWE Undisputed Universal
champion the American Nightmare Cody Rhodes. Cody says what
The Rock gave him on Monday was something he had given The
Rock. He said he was looking forward to see who he faces at
Backlash and once again introduced himself as the once
undesirable, then undeniable, and now WWE champion.
Solo Sikoa, Jimmy Uso and Paul Heyman walked backstage and
stopped at the locker room of Cody Rhodes and Kevin Owens
walked in front of them and said sorry you’re not invited
there is a broom closet down the hall.

Knight who hit the BFT on Santos to get the win.

L.W.O. was then interviewed backstage by Kayla Braxton.
Paul Heyman, Solo Sikoa and Jimmy Uso come out to the ring
and Paul says Roman Reigns said we must accept
accountability. Solo stops Paul and says winning and losing
matters so losing means we need change. Solo then walked
over to Jimmy and hugged him and told him he is his brother
and he loved him and recently signed Tama Tonga attacked
Jimmy. Paul stands in the corner with his mouth open in
disbelief. As Solo set up Jimmy with the Samoan Spike, Paul
screamed no. But he hit him anyway.
As Solo and Tama hold up the number one sign, Paul tries to
call Roman Reigns and Solo rips the phone out of Paul’s hand
and smashes it. Tama went out and got a chair and Solo
places it in the corner around Jimmy’s head and tells him
again he loves him then runs and hits him with the hip.

Owens tonight.
Out to the ring next is the new WWE Women’s Champion Bayley.
After she thanked everyone, she welcomed a brand-new
opportunity, and it took no time for Tiffany Stratton to
come out and accept. Bayley said she had someone else in
mind. She said she wants to defend against Naomi. Tiffany
said Naomi she couldn’t win the title if it glowed in the
dark and Naomi comes to the ring. Tiffany said she already
beat Naomi. Naomi said she can’t accept her challenge just
yet because she wants to take on Tiffany right here, right
now.
Kayla Braxton is at the trainer’s door and Paul Heyman comes
out and as Kayla asked him what happened out there and if
Jimmy was ok, Tama Tonga came in and told Paul by orders of
the Tribal Chief and Solo walked by and gave his thumb up
and Paul said what does this mean.

it to the ring. Kevin said he and Rey both have sons who are
much taller than them but his son is great and not a dirtbag
like Dominik but that is not Rey’s fault, and he went on to
say he has respect for both Rey and his other opponent
tonight AJ Styles but winning the title is the most
important thing, so he must beat them both tonight.
