“Then. Now. Forever.” The WWE video leads us into the show.
A video hypes up the return of Goldberg to WWE. Goldberg will tell
us who’s next.
The SmackDown video plays, and we go live into the arena to see a
big pyrotechnics display. Tonight, Daniel Bryan will return. We’ll
also see a Fatal 4-Way with Alexa Bliss, Naomi, Dana Brooke, and
Carmella with the winner facing Bayley for the SmackDown Women’s
Championship in the future.
The Miz and John Morrison make their way to the ring for their first
Dirt Sheet. Morrison says his shirt has buttons, but he doesn’t use
it. Miz says he’s the chick magnet. Morrison asks if he’s still
really doing that line. Miz says he has two daughters and a wife, so
it’s relevant. The old Dirt Sheet intro plays with Howard Finkel’s
voiceover.
They talk about the Academy Awards this Sunday before showing a
trailer for “Once Upon a Time from the Dirt Sheet.” It features The
Miz’ dad (Mr. Miz) trying to teach Miz how to fight. Lance Storm
makes an appearance, as does John Laurinaitis. It finishes with
“Coming soon to Super ShowDown: New Tag Team Champions.”
Miz says Oscar-worthy, maybe. SmackDown Tag Team
Championship-worthy? Definitely. Morrison says everyone wants to
hang out with the cool kids now. SmackDown Tag Team Champions The
New Day interrupt them. They come out with popcorn. They make fun of
the trailer. Big E gets his microphone out of Kofi Kingston’s
popcorn box. Kingston puts over Mr. Miz’ athletic prowess and says
he’s Mr. Miz’ favorite star. Big E says it had drama and comedy. The
fact that the two of them think they’ll beat The New Day for the
titles at Super ShowDown? They laugh and say it’s Richard
Pryor-level comedy.
Miz and Morrison fake laugh and then stop. Big E and Kingston are in
the ring. Miz says they’ve dominated over the last few weeks. The
Usos cut them off. The Usos ask The New Day if they beat all the
teams. Miz and Morrison haven’t beaten The Usos. Welcome to the Uso
Penitentiary. Dolph Ziggler and Robert Roode now come out. Miz and
Morrison attack Kingston and Big E from behind. The Usos quickly
chase them out of the ring. Ziggler and Roode come down. They’ll
face The Usos, next.

4-Way to get a shot at Bayley’s SmackDown Women’s Championship in

Truck. Corbin is furious over the video being shown. Corbin finds
the guy that ran the video and attacks him before throwing him out
of the truck and down the stairs. WWE producers and agents send
Corbin off.
“Ladies and gentlemen… Elias.”
Elias is standing in the ring strumming his guitar. Elias plays the
blues while the crowd happily claps along. He then finishes with a
good riff. Elias thanks San Jose. Now he has a fight with Cesaro and
needs to know who has his back. So, he has one question for everyone
tonight: who wants to walk with Elias?
Before this match, he did write a song and hopes they clap along.
It’s called, “Third Time’s the Charm.” Elias starts to play, but
he’s cut off by Cesaro and Sami Zayn.
Zayn sarcastically says they’re sorry to interrupt. It doesn’t feel
good to be interrupted, just like Elias interrupted Zayn last week.
The crowd loudly boos. Elias says in case Zayn hasn’t been paying
attention for the last two and a half years, it’s a miracle when
he’s not interrupted. Zayn says interrupting him matters more. They
were dealing with a crisis because Shinsuke Nakamura was robbed of
the Intercontinental Championship. Zayn says Elias will pay at the
hands of Cesaro. Everything that happens to Elias has been brought
on by himself.
-Commercial Break-

We see Goldberg getting set up. We’ll hear who’s next… next.
-Commercial Break-
Michael Cole sets up to interview Goldberg, who is not at the arena…
…but King Corbin comes out and says he’s the King of the Ring so
they have to listen to him. Corbin makes fun of the San Francisco
49ers losing to his Kansas City Chiefs, which gets big heat. Roman
Reigns should’ve been covered in dog food last week, but he got The
Usos to help him. The Usos are carrying dead weight. If Reigns were
a man, he’d have faced him in their Falls Count Anywhere match at
Royal Rumble one-on-one. Then he’d have won the Royal Rumble and
gone on to main event WrestleMania. As their king, he demands one
more match with Roman Reigns. Corbin says he’s the king here on
Smackdown, so this show is going no further until he gets Roman
Reigns in the middle of the ring. The crowd is loudly booing Corbin.
Corbin talks trash to the crowd and finds a plant in the stands. He
pours a beer over the guy’s head
Roman Reigns makes his way to the ring. Reigns catches him with a
Superman Punch before sending him into the barricade twice. Corbin
has a drink splashed on him before Reigns bounces him off the steel
steps a few times. Reigns connects with a Drive-By Dropkick before
putting Corbin in the ring. Corbin quickly escapes through the other
side and runs through the crowd. Reigns says Corbin is a coward. If
the coward wants to have one more match, he’s got it. If he wants to
go one-on-one, they’ll do it inside of a Steel Cage!
Michael Cole interviews Goldberg, who is live via satellite. Cole
asks, “Who’s next?” Goldberg says he watched the Royal Rumble with
his son and it made him excited… but it also gave him that edge. His
old friend Brock Lesnar is busy with Ricochet and Drew McIntyre
coming for the WWE Championship, but what about the Universal
Championship? His time as the Universal Champion was too short and
he never got a rematch.
The Firefly Fun House music plays for some breaking news. Bray Wyatt
is shown wearing a tie. Wyatt mentions William Goldberg and says he
accepts. Mercy the Buzzard says it’ll be a cold day in hell when The
Fiend loses the Universal Championship. Mercy is shivering in hell
while saying that. Goldberg says the mind games won’t work on him.
Here’s the breaking news: “The Fiend” Bray Wyatt… YOU’RE NEXT!
Goldberg angrily walks off. Wyatt says that wasn’t very nice. The
Fiend flashes on the screen before Wyatt happily waves goodbye to
Bill.
Daniel Bryan is watching this backstage and looks frustrated. Heath
Slater comes up and talks about Bryan being whipped by The Fiend and
how he’d never let a man do that to him. Slater says choosing a
Strap Match was stupid and asks how he is. Bryan challenges him to a
match right now and walks off.
-Commercial Break-

we’ll see the new Intercontinental Champion Braun Strowman.
-Commercial Break-
Video Package: Braun Strowman defeats Shinsuke Nakamura to win the
WWE Intercontinental Championship
Renee Young introduces WWE Intercontinental Champion Braun Strowman
to the ring. She asks how it feels to hold the title. The crowd
cheers for Strowman. Strowman says every time he thinks about it, he
gets chills. This is the greatest achievement of his career. He’s
done a lot of great things in WWE — he’s won the Greatest Royal
Rumble, flipped ambulances and destroyed rings… he even won the Raw
Tag Team Championship with an 8-year-old at WrestleMania. Still, he
had never won a singles championship until now.
Shinsuke Nakamura’s music hits, and he comes out with Sami Zayn.
Zayn says Strowman’s win was fraudulent. They want an honorable
rematch. Strowman says he’d rather fight than have the crowd listen
to Zayn all night. He’ll defend the title anywhere, even tonight in
San Jose. Zayn says it’s not happening, but they have tricks up
their sleeves.
