WWE SMACKDOWN REPORT: MORE 'TOTAL BELLAS', WYATT VERSUS HARPER, THE WOMEN'S TITLE MATCH FIELD IS COMPLETE, AND MORE

By Richard Trionfo on 2017-03-28 21:58:00

We are in Richmond, Virginia and your announcers are John Layfield, Tom Phillips, and David Otunga.

Daniel Bryan makes his way to the ring and the Contract Signing Table is back in the ring.  

Daniels asks everyone if they are ready for Wrestlemania.  

Daniel brings out Shane McMahon and Shane does the Shane-O Shuffle to the ring.

Daniel brings out AJ Styles.

AJ sits down and so does Shane.

Shane says when Smackdown became Smackdown Live, they felt that this show was going to be the place for opportunity.  Management would not push their own agendas.  A place where everyone can tune in and families can be entertained.  AJ was always part of that vision.  Shane says that AJ is one of the greatest talents to step foot through these ropes and be in this ring.  Shane says that AJ truly is phenomenal.

AJ says that they agree on something.  He says he is pretty phenomenal.

Shane says that AJ was all over the world before he came to WWE.  People were chanting his name (and the crowd chants his name).  AJ used the crowd to catapult himself to the WWE Championship.  AJ's ego got too big and he became arrogant.  That arrogance cost AJ his title to John Cena.  It also cost him against Randy Orton.  Shane says that AJ's ego got in the way of him not being a part of Wrestlemania. 

Shane says that he makes whoever he faces in the ring reach deep down and give their best.  Last week, he saw AJ's face and AJ knew that he had to give everything he's got.  If AJ does not give his "A" game, how phenomenal will you feel when Shane's hand is raised at Wrestlemania?

Shane signs the contract.

AJ asks Shane if he knows what kind of match he is in for.  It is not a Hell in a Cell match.  It is not a Falls Count Anywhere Match.  If you are outside the ring for more than ten seconds, you will be counted out.  There will be no tables or chairs or ladders.  It will be a traditional match.  When you step into this ring, you step into the world of AJ Styles.  In this ring, AJ says he is untouchable.  If you want to come in here and wrestle, they will wrestle.  If he wants to lay hands, they can lay hands.  If they take it to the air, he will embarrass Shane on every level.

You have been in the ring with the Who's Who of WWE.  Kurt Angle, Shawn Michaels, Steve Austin, The Rock, and The Undertaker.  Shane has never been in the ring with AJ Styles and AJ is the greatest to step in a WWE ring.  At Wrestlemania you will find out how phenomenal AJ is.

AJ signs the contract and they get face to face.  AJ pushes the table aside and Daniel gets between them.

Daniel tells them to calm down and he asks for a handshake.  Shane offers his hand and AJ leaves the ring.

Carmella and Becky Lynch walk in the back as we go to commercial.

We are back and forty percent of the women in the title match are at the announce table.  Mickie James and Alexa Bliss join the commentary for this match.

James Ellsworth comes out and he wants everyone to listen to him.  He demands respect from the crowd.  James introduces Carmella.

Mickie and Alexa argue while the match goes on but we don't see what is going on in the ring.  Alexa pushes Mickie and Mickie pushes back.  Alexa punches Mickie and Mickie flapjacks Alexa onto the apron and then Mickie with a Thesz Press and punches Alexa.  The referee calls for the bell.

Match Number Two:  Alexa Bliss and Carmella versus Becky Lynch and Mickie James

Mickie with a drop kick to Alexa and Becky tags in and connects with elbow drops.  Mickie tags back in and Alexa tags in Carmella.  Carmella has some words for Mickie but she misses a punch.  Mickie kicks Alexa off the apron but the distraction allows Carmella to punch Mickie.  Carmella punches Mickie and gets a near fall.  Alexa kicks Mickie from the apron and Carmella gets a near fall.  

Alexa tags in and she kicks Mickie and she applies a cravate.  Alexa pulls Mickie down by the hair.  Alexa stands on Mickie's hair and she applies a reverse chin lock.  Mickie with a rollup for a near fall but Alexa with a punch.

Natalya's music plays and she makes her way to the ring, but which team will she join or will she be part of her own team?  We will find out when we come back from commercial.

We are back and Natalya joins commentary for the continuation of the match.

Naomi's music plays and she hits a running head scissors on Natalya on the stage.  Naomi with a forearm to Alexa followed by Speedball kicks to Carmella.  Naomi with rear end to Alexa.

Naomi gets a mic and she says you were wondering if she would be back in time for Wrestlemania.  She says she is back.  Naomi says she is officially entering the Smackdown Women's Title Match.  Naomi says on Sunday in her home town, everybody is going to feel the glow.  Naomi dances in the ring.

Daniel Bryan is on the phone and he says he has to call Brie back since 'her sister' arrived.

Breezy Bella enters and he says he will be available for the Women's Title Match.  Daniel says no and then Tyler takes off his wig and Daniel realizes it is not Nikki.

Tyler and Fandango talk about not being on Wrestlemania but Daniel says that they can be in the Andre the Giant Battle Royal and there are two spots left in a ten man tag match that involves the participants in the match.

We go to commercial.
