WWE Smackdown Results returned as introductions were made and Carmella and Queen Zelina were at ringside. We’re surprised they weren’t given mics like normal.
Liv and Naomi started it off, and Banks tagged in after Naomi gained control with a shoulder block. Liv then traded moves with Banks to a stalemate, so Banks rocked her with a right.
Naomi blind tagged in and dropped Liv with a kick and then hit a leg drop for a pin attempt.

Ripley caught Naomi off the top rope and backed up enough for Banks to blind tag in and catch Ripley with a kick and a hurricanrana.
Liv sent Banks and Naomi to the floor and tagged in Ripley, and Ripley hit a cannonball off the apron as we headed to commercial.
Ripley took it to Banks and went for a Riptide, but Banks slipped free for a Backstabber and they traded hits off the top rope for a near pinfall Liv saved.
Banks and Naomi went for a double team superplex, but Liv powerbombed them all.
Natalya and Shayna Baszler came in and beat down Ripley and Liv, then Carmella and Zelina came in to help take out Banks and Naomi.
The four women faced off and it looks like Natalya and Baszler challenged them at WrestleMania.
Theory gets his apology. Sort of
After heading to the back to speak with Mr. McMahon, Pat McAfee came back out and talked about how he saw pro wrestling for the first time when he was 10 years old on the USA network and how Michael Cole called him for a spot on Smackdown.
Austin Theory came out and interrupted him.
McAfee said he was told to apologize, and he tried to say it twice, and his third attempt he apologized for beating him last week, for his parents raised a douchebag, and for Austin being a punk bi—.
Theory took a selfie then shoved him after saying he apologized.

Kofi went after Ridge right away and didn’t let up and he pulled the ropes down to sent Ridge to the floor and hit a clothesline off the apron as we headed to commercial.
Ridge gained control during the break, but Kofi fired back and hit a series of kicks, a clothesline, and Boom Drop.
Ridge caught hit Trouble in Paradise attempt, but Kofi fought free. Sheamus distracted the ref so Butch could knock Kofi off the top rope and the ref banned them from ringside.
Kofi three Sheamus’ cane at them and Butch tried to run in but Sheamus stopped him. Ridge took advantage of the distraction to hit Northern Grit for the win.
Flair’s got a surprise or two
Charlotte Flair headed to the ring after a recap of her rivalry with Ronda Rousey the last two weeks. She said she always has a plan, and last week she showed Rousey why she’s the most decorated woman in history.
She promised the refs pulling her off Rousey last week is just a taste of what she’ll do at WrestleMania.

Rousey made her way to the ring and Flair pulled out a kendo stick. She swung and missed and dropped it, and Rousey took her down and went for an armbar.
Flair rolled to the floor and Rousey threw her into the ring post a couple of times, and then blocked a big boot and locked in a ankle lock Flair broke with another kendo stick and used it to choke out Rousey.
Flair then powerbomb Rousey through the announce table and she stood over Rousey with a foot on her chest as she posed to close out the show.
They’re really working to set up this feud by showing Flair needs weapons. Guess that’ll make their match No Disqualification by the time WrestleMania rolls around.
Will Flair hold onto her title at WrestleMania? Let us know in the comments below and thank you for joining WWE Smackdown Results. We had a blast and can’t wait for next week.
See you all then!
