WWE SMACKDOWN REPORT: BIANCA CELEBRATES HER VICTORY IN STYLE, TAG TITLE MATCH, AZEEZ LIGHTS UP THE THUNDERDOME, AND MORE

We take a look back at the main event from Wrestlemania 37 Night Two for the Universal Championship.

We are in Tampa, Florida and your announcers are Michael Cole and Pat McAfee.

Universal Champion Roman Reigns makes his way to the ring and he is joined by Paul Heyman and the winner of the 2021 Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal.

Roman says they put a lot of eyes on Smackdown.  For the new viewer, why don't you tell him about the men he beat in the main event of Wrestlemania.

Paul mentions Edge, an 11 time world champion married to a Hall of Famer and a Hall of Famer.  Then you have Daniel Bryan, a five time world champion, married to a Hall of Famer and sure to be a Hall of Famer some day, but it may come soon after you stacked both men up to beat them.  It was like a handicap match instead of a Triple Threat Match in the main event of Wrestlemania.  

Roman says he called his shot.  He said he would smash them, stack them, and pin them one two three.  Then they acknowledge me (as Roman shows us his shirt that says just that).  Roman says they will never put him in another Triple Threat Match because of what I did to them.  No one wants to face me.  They are Hall of Famers and I smashed them and stacked them before pinning them.  If I am doing that to men like that, who wants me next?

Nobody wants to put their reputation on the line against me.  Roman says they have fulfilled their obligation and opened the show so cut the check and fire up the jet.

Cesaro's music plays and he makes his way to the ring.

Cesaro gets in Roman's face and he looks at the title belt and asks for a mic.

Roman, Heyman, and Jey leave the ring and go to the back.

We go to commercial with Cesaro still in the ring.

Adam Pearce and Sonya Deville are in the back and Cesaro stops by since he wasn't given a chance to talk in the ring.

Cesaro asks them if they saw what Roman did to him.  He calls Roman a son of a bitch and he says that he will step up to Roman and he does not care if it is not a title match.   He wants a match tonight.

Sonya tells Cesaro she will check with Roman.

Match Number One:  Otis Dozovic (with Chad Gable) versus Rey Mysterio (with Son Dominik Mysterio)

Otis with a running body block followed by a shoulder tackle.  Otis gets Rey up and presses him over his head.  Otis drops Rey face first to the mat.  Otis tosses Rey under the bottom rope to the floor and Rey with shoulders to Otis from the apron and he drops Otis on the top rope.  Rey goes to the turnbuckles but Otis crotches Rey and puts him in the tree of woe.  Otis with kicks.  Otis goes for a shoulder but Rey pulls himself up.  Rey with a seated splash and a running knee to Otis for a near fall.  Rey with a kick and Otis refuses to be Irish whipped.  Otis catches Rey on a springboard cross body and Otis with a standing power slam.

Kayla Braxton is in the hallway with Paul Heyman and someone on a ladder fixing the lights as we go to commercial.

We are back with a Moments Ago Moment of Cesaro asking for a match against Roman Reigns.

Kayla Braxton is with Paul Heyman, but the guy on the ladder is gone.  She asks if Roman will accept the challenge

Paul says that we do not grant wishes to Neanderthals.  Paul says there was no rain delay on Saturday.  They were tears from angels anticipating the beating that Roman would give to Daniel Bryan and Edge.  When we got back to Roman's locker room, there were tears from above, and tears from the locker room.  Seth Rollins had to lower himself to face someone like Cesaro.  A billion dollar body with a ten cent brain and this is who gets in the face of the Tribal Chief?  Cesaro is physically capable but let's stop this before it gets out of the station.  Let's give Cesaro what he wants.  Cesaro one on one in the main event against THE MAIN EVENT . . . Jey Uso.

We take a look at the UFO from Wrestlemania.

Sami Zayn makes his way to the ring.

Sami says he sees all of the headlines except for the one that is most accurate.  SAMI ZAYN SCREWED AGAIN.  Wrestlemania was supposed to be his vindication because all of the stars were alligned, especially his star Logan Paul.  Logan was supposed to expose the conspiracy but that was not how it went down.  Logan Paul's mind was poisoned by Kevin Owens and the WWE Universe talking bad about Sami Zayn.  It was poisoned by management and Michael Cole.  Everybody got in his head.  Sami says he could sense it.  He felt Logan pulling back when he hugged him in the ring.  Sami says he was worried about Logan during the match, and that was the only reason why Kevin was able to squeak out a victory over him.

Sami says he will not be denied his vindication.  He tells Kevin to give him what he wants.  There are no distractions.  No toxic fans in the stands.  No Logan Paul to distract him.  That is why you aren't coming out . . . 

Kevin Owens' music plays and he makes his way to the ring.

We go to commercial.

Match Number Two:  Sami Zayn versus Kevin Owens

We see the footage from Sunday.
