WWE Smackdown Results returned as Rey came to the ring to confront his son.
Dom took another shot at not having a father for most nights, and after Rey asked Ripley to let him have a word with his son.
Dom did some more of his usual shaming and Rey admitted he wasn’t the best father and he missed a lot of moments but he still loves him.
He told Dom he’ll learn soon enough that the business can be selfish and he made sacrifices so Dom and his family could have a life he only dreamed of and how the Mysterio name would bail him out when he got into trouble.

Rey explained how he wanted Dom at his side as he enters the Hall of Fame, and is some disrespectful, spoiled brat would challenge him to a match at WrestleMania, he’d beat his a–.
Unfortunately, Dom’s his son and fighting him would be the biggest disgrace as a father. He said Dom’s not worth it and he’ll never fight him.
As Rey left the ring, Dom mocked him for running away and he’s continuing to show Dom what kind of man not to be.
Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez vs. Emma and Tegan Nox
Raquel and Nox started it off, and Raquel dominated and tossed her into their corner for Liv and her to hit a double team for a pin attempt.
Nox fought back and took it to Liv before tagging in Emma.

Raquel tagged in after Liv took a ton of punishment and she took it to Emma with a spinning elbow off the top rope for a pin attempt Nox broke up.
Emma went for a hurricanran on Raquel, but Raquel powered out of it and hit a Tajana Bomb and Liv hit an Oblivion after blind tagging in to send them to WrestleMania.
These matches are way faster than we’re used to. Looks like Vince is calling the shots again. The wrestlers are moving at warp speed to get in as many moves as possible, and that’s something we haven’t seen under Triple H’s direction since he took over WWE Creative.
The more things change
Charlotte Flair came out and said how the more things change, the more they stay the same. Growing up, Flair was the champion and Rhodes was the challenger and this year’s WrestleMania remains the same.
She then talked about Rhea Ripley and how she couldn’t go through her three years ago, and she can’t now.
Ripley then came out and told her she’s 100% right that she chose her. She didn’t choose Bianca Belair for reasons she’ll get to later.

Everyone fears her but Flair, and that pisses Ripley off. She needs the Smackdown Women’s Champion because she needs to be the star and after WrestleMania Flair will learn to call her champion and she’ll learn to fear Ripley.
Dom mouthed off to Flair so Ripley could his a cheap shot and then they left the ring.
Flair chased after them and clotheslined Ripley and drove her into the barricade. They started brawling as security came out but couldn’t separate them.
Flair took out a security guard with a big boot and Ripley hit her from behind and threw her over the announce desk.
Flair took her and some of the security out after leaping off the announce desk.
