WWE Smackdown Results returned as Rick Boogs introduced Shinsuke Nakamura and then the Usos attacked them from behind on the stage to clear the way for Roman Reigns to come out.
The fans chanted Reigns’ name, then acknowledged him when he demanded it.
Reigns talked about his match against Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania and how he won’t make it through tomorrow’s match as MSG. He wants him to make it because he wants the titles handed to him.

He announced he’s going to smash Brock Lesnar and pin him, then hold both titles over his head. Lesnar will have no choice but to acknowledge him.
Reigns seems to be losing his mind a little with Lesnar around the corner.
Smackdown Tag Team Championship – The Usos (Jimmy, Jey) vs. The Viking Raiders (Erik, Ivar)
The Usos stayed in the ring after Reigns left and they calmly watched the Viking Raiders enter.
Jimmy and Erik started it off and Erik took him down right away and Jimmy headed to the floor. Erik threw Jey out too, and Ivar took them out with a dive.
Ivar tagged in and hit a splash on Jimmy for a near pinfall.

Jey broke up a Viking Experience and sent Ivar into the ring post. Jey blindtagged in and they hit a double face plant on Erik.
The Usos continued to work over Erik on the floor and sent him into a ring post and sent him into the time keeper’s area while Ivar rolled around the announce desk at the far corner from where he went out as we headed to commercial.
The Viking Raiders took control during the break, and Erik got his knees up to counter Jimmy’s splash and they hit a Viking Experience on Jimmy but Jey saved the pin.
After a series of superkicks, the Usos hit a neckbreaker for the win.
This match felt off from the start. We’re not sure, but it looked like Ivar might’ve been hurt somewhere in the match.
Big E w/Kofi Kingston vs. Sheamus w/Ridge Holland

Kofi played the New Day theme on Big E’s ATV and Holland hit him with a chair and beat up the ATV while Sheamus hit a chop block on Big E.
Sheamus and Holland then stole the ATV.
After the commercial, we were shown Sheamus and Holland destroyed the ATV with sledge hammers.
Whelp, this is the dumbest angle they’ve run in a while.
Ronda Rousey vs. Sonya Deville
Before the match could get started, Charlotte Flair came out to watch things and joined the announcers.
Ronda took it to Deville from the start and went for an ankle lock but Flair distracted the ref and Deville responded by hitting a chop block.

Deville hit a series of kicks and a running knee for a pin attempt, and then she locked in a rear chin lock.
Ronda fought free and locked in a triangle choke in the ropes for nearly the whole count of five, and then hit a combination and some arm drags.
A Piper’s Pit followed, and then she locked in her armbar for the submission win.
After the match, Ronda stayed in the ring and tried to get Flair to enter the ring, so they jawed back and forth before Flair climbed the ring steps and climbed into the ring.
Ronda rolled her up in an ankle lock to make Flair tap a couple of times before Ronda released her.
Well, this was an underwhelming conclusion to a disjointed show that felt more like a Go Home episode for a pay-per-view than anything.
What did you think of the ending? Let us know in the comments below and thank you for joining WWE Smackdown Results. We had an awesome time hanging out and can’t wait to see you all next week.
