WWE SMACKDOWN REPORT: A BIG CONTRACT SIGNING, A NEW TAG TEAM?, A NEW MATCH FOR MANIA?, AND MORE

We are back and Sami Zayn is dancing and singing in the ring.  He says finally, justice is served.  Sami says he was the victim of a mass conspiracy that robbed him of his Intercontinental Championship.  Look at him now.  Sami says it isn't what he asked for because the balloons don't match.  Sami says the old Sami Zayn would have said it was part of the conspiracy.  Sami says there was a conspiracy against him.  They will persecute him every chance they get.  No matter what they throw at him, he can overcome all of it.  Sami wants the people to show him some respect.

Sami says he is happy to give Shinsuke Nakamura a rematch but Nakamura is picking up pieces of the knee cap he shattered.  Sami says he is happy to defend the title against any and all comers.  Anyone brave enough to set foot in the ring with Sami Zayn, that is good enough.

Megan asks Corbin about his match against Drew McIntyre and we see what happened to Riddick Moss last week.

Corbin tells Moss that is using his head.  Corbin says Moss has the strongest neck.  Tonight, Drew has to worry about him.  This is a Wrestlemania caliber match.  Drew was off his rocker at Elimination Chamber.  You don't get away with that behavior.  He will show Drew who the real warrior is, and that's no joke.

Match Number Four:  Drew McIntyre versus Baron Corbin (with Riddick Moss)

Baron says that this is a Wrestlemania caliber match so do you want me to embarrass you in Hershey, Pennsylvania.  Corbin says these people are pathetic.  Nothing would make him happier than stomping him to a pulp.  He says Riddick Moss is an inspiration.   Corbin tells Moss he deserves this match.

Moss reminds Corbin about his neck.  Corbin says it is only Drew McIntyre.

We go to commercial.

We are back and next week, The Usos will defend the tag titles against The Viking Raiders and Ricochet will face Sami Zayn for the Intercontinental Championship.

Adam Pearce and security join Roman, the Usos, and Paul Heyman in the ring.

Roman wants Hershey to acknowledge him.

Paul says we have come to a point in history where there is no way to embellish or exaggerate the enormity of the main event of this year's Wrestlemania.  What we are facing right now is the biggest single match in history.  The biggest main event on the biggest Wrestlemania of all time.  Bigger than Hulk Hogan versus Andre the Giant.  Bigger than Steve Austin versus the Rock.  Bigger than the night he conquered the Undertaker's undefeated streak, and Brock deserves credit for half of that.

Roman will solidify his GOAT status against Brock Lesnar in a title unification match.  

It is time to get down to the business at hand.  These security guards are here to protect Brock from his own impulsiveness and to protect Brock from his Tribal Chief, Roman Reigns.

We go to commercial.

We are back and Brock Lesnar makes his way to the ring.

Brock tells Mr. Acknowledgment and Mr. Dick that he would like to introduce himself as the NEW reigning, defending, WWE Champion of the World.  Brock says he has to contain himself.  He says he is impulsive.  If you think for one second that these skidmark security guards are going to stop me from jumping across this table and kicking your asses.  Only himself and the contract are stopping him.  At Wrestelemania, he is going ot kick their asses and you can bet your asses I will get paid for it.

Brock signs the contract and he tosses it at Roman.

Paul tells Brock he is tired of his disrespect.  If you want to make this personal.  The match at Wrestlemania will not be a unification match because you are going ot lose your title next week in Madison Square Garden.

Roman signs the contract.

Adam leaves the ring.

Roman tells farm boy he must be confused.  That title is his title.  You don't realize it because he is going to smash Brock at Wrestlemania.  This is his show and his ring.  This is his camera man.  They are his people because they acknowledge him.  These announcers work for me because they brag about me all the time.  This sign is mine because i am Wrestlemania.  Everybody works for me, including the security in the ring.

Security surrounds Brock and Brock demolishes each of them in turn using the table, chairs, and Brock's unnatural strength.

We go to credits.
