WWE SmackDown | Recap

Friday Night SmackDown was LIVE from the Performance Center in Orlando Florida. Here is what happened on the show.

Triple H joined Michael Cole on commentary. Sasha Banks and Bayley kicked off the show to cut a promo then they were interrupted by Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross which led to a tag team match. (playa)

Sasha Banks and Bayley defeated Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross after Asuka took out Bliss in the closing moments of the match. Nikki tapped out to the Bank Statement.

Roman Reigns joined Michael Cole in the ring for an interview to hype the match vs. Goldberg for the Universal Championship. Backstage, Kayla Braxton interviewed the returning Jeff Hardy, who was interrupted by "King" Corbin to set up their match for later.

Another backstage segment took place, Drew Gulak and Daniel Bryan  were approached by Cesaro, Sami Zayn and Shinskue Nakamura where a match between Cesaro and Bryan was set up.They showed the SmackDown tag team Championship Match that took place at Elimination Chamber. This was there way to fill some time  on the show.

Back in the ring, John Morrison and Miz challenged any tag team to step up and take on the champions in the future. SmackDown rolled on with Daniel Bryan in a match vs. Cesaro. The match was won by Daniel Bryan. In the last match of the show, Jeff Hardy defeated "King" Corbin.

In the main event, John Cena returned to hype up his match against "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt, who was then joined in the ring by Bray himself. It was nice that they rewound the clock to six years ago where they had a match at WrestleMania 30. Bray told Cena to let him in as SmackDown went off the air.

This was an entertaining show, despite there being no crowd in attendance. Triple H was very fun and entertaining on screen and on commentary. Respect to those that competed in the ring. I thank the WWE and the superstars for keeping us fans entertained as well as keeping our minds off the current situation for a period of time.  Looking forward to Monday Night Raw which also will be LIVE from the P.C. featuring an appearance from Stone Cold Steve Austin.


Until next time, be well and stay safe. Thanks for reading
