We are live with ongoing coverage of WWE SmackDown. As always, we will post updates immediately after every match so refresh this page often.
Becky Lynch Homecoming
Lynch received a huge reaction from the hometown crowd. She said she always dreamed of wrestling here, but now knows the crowd did not deserve it and petitioned to get the show cancelled. The crowd began chanting for Lyra Valkyria.Â
The crowd cheered as Tiffany Stratton interrupted her. She said Dublin knows this is Tiffy Time and told Lynch to leave or she would make her leave.
Nia Jax came to the ring. She said she shouldn’t be worrying about Becky while she has a bigger problem now that she is standing before her. Jax attacked Stratton and Becky joined in until Jade Cargill ran in to help Tiffany.Â
Nick Aldis appeared on the ramp. He said I got off the phone with Adam Pearce and he agreed that the main event for tonight will be Becky Lynch & Nia Jax vs Tiffany Stratton & Jade Cargill.Â
Backstage:
Fraxiom told Carmelo Hayes he did a good job last week but to watch out for the Miz because he’s a schemer. Miz showed up and Hayes stuck up for him.
Melo Don’t Miz (Carmelo Hayes & The Miz) vs Motor City Machine Guns (Chris Sabin & Alex Shelley)
Miz went for the Skull Crushing Finale, but Sabin blocked it. Hayes tagged in. As he was setting up the Nothin’ But Net, Miz tagged himself in. Hayes hit Sabin with the Lungblower, but got clotheslined by Shelley to the outside. Miz snuck in and got the pin on Sabin for the win.
Winners: Melo Don’t Miz
Backstage:
Jimmy Uso was being interviewed about Naomi’s announcement that they were having a baby. Sami Zayn hugged Jimmy. Solo Sikoa and the M.F.T.s came by. Solo told Jimmy he can name the baby after his favorite uncle, Solo. Jimmy said, ‘no yeet.’ Zayn told Solo that tonight, you’re not dealing with underdog Sami Zayn. You’re dealing with WrestleMania main-eventer Sami Zayn.
Piper Niven (w/Chelsea Green & Alba Fyre) vs Charlotte Flair
Flair hit Niven with chops, a clothesline, and a big boot. She followed it up with a moonsault for a two count. Flair locked in the Figure Eight. Fyre distracted the referee which allowed Green to rake Flair’s eyes. Niven gave Charlotte a splash in the corner followed by a Michinoko Driver and pinned her.
Winner: Piper Niven
Backstage:
Kiana James and Giulia were talking business. Michin came in. James said Michin has to go through her before she could get a shot at Giulia’s Women’s United States Championship which Michin was happy to agree to.Â
John Cena – Logan Paul face to face
Before John Cena could start his interview, Logan Paul made his way to the ring. Paul said he is not an outsider and is here to stay. Cena told Paul you are a tremendous athlete and future WWE Champion. You’re not an outsider but you are a disappointment. When you came here, we opened our arms to you and you have used us for branding opportunities. I find it insulting that you said you put your life on the line for a total of 23 matches while I wrestled for 23 years. I always ask, ‘what can I give to this business’, while you ask, ‘what can I take from this business?’
Cena called Logan a parasite. He said I could be facing deserving stars like Dominik Mysterio, Seth Rollins, AJ Styles, The Usos, and Jacob Fatu just to name them all. I’m wasting my time entertaining your challenge, but I’m a man of my word. You were first in line to ask for a match so now you got one. Paul shoved Cena, which led to Cena hitting Paul with an Attitude Adjustment.
Backstage:
- Tiffany Stratton told Jade Cargill she didn’t need her help earlier. Jade told Tiffany that after they beat Becky and Nia, I’m coming for my title.
- Drew McIntyre told Logan Paul that subconsciously he is afraid of the mystique of John Cena. This is not 2010. That’s not Super Cena. You’re in your prime. He embarrassed you. You better make this right tonight no matter what it takes.
The Street Profits (Montez Ford & Angela Dawkins) (w/B-Fab) vs MFT (Tonga Loa & JC Mateo) (w/Solo Sikoa & Talla Tonga)
Ford wanted to head up top for a move, but Solo Sikoa’s distraction allowed Talla Tonga to interfere. This let Mateo deliver the Tour of the Islands on Ford for a near fall. As Talla got on the ring apron, Jimmy Uso ran up and hit him with a chair as they began to brawl in the crowd. While Solo was up on the commentary table, Sami Zayn tripped him up and hit him with a Helluva Kick. The finish saw Montez Ford hit the frog splash on Mateo and pin him.
Winners: The Street Profits
Aleister Black vs R-Truth
R-Truth said he can’t appear tonight because he thought the match was in Dublin, Georgia, but he did make a call to his good friend. Damian Priest ran to the ring and fought with Black before security broke them up.
Randy Orton RKOs Drew McIntyre
While the commentary team discussed Cody Rhodes’ condition, Drew McIntyre appeared and said that he had an update of his own and that is that Cody Rhodes is a little bitch. He said I did Rhodes a favor and gave him more than enough time with the Undisputed WWE Championship. Everybody wants your spot and you have no friends left in WWE. Before he could get his next sentence out, Randy Orton snuck up behind him and hit an RKO on McIntyre.
Backstage:
Nia Jax told Becky Lynch that since they have to tag tonight, we need to get on the same page. Becky said we are still mortal enemies. These people don’t appreciate me, but they need to know I’m their hero, so you need to be on the same page as me.
Tiffany Stratton & Jade Cargill vs Becky Lynch & Nia Jax
Jade hit Lynch with a superkick followed by a tilt-a-whirl sit out powerbomb for a near fall. Jax got the tag and Becky ran off. Jade avoided the Annihilator and gave Nia a powerbomb. Nia got hit with the Prettiest Moonsault Ever by Tiffany followed by Jade pinning her after a splash from the top rope.
Winners: Tiffany Stratton & Jade Cargill
Backstage:
Nick Aldis told John Cena that he just heard from Brock Lesnar. Before we could hear what that was, Logan Paul hit Cena with his punch and ran off.
