NUMBER ONE CONTENDER MATCH: LIVE ONGOING WWE SMACKDOWN REPORT

Your announcers are Corey Graves and Joe Tessitore.

We have a video package for Wrestlemania.

Randy Orton arrives at the arena with his chauffeur.

Nick Aldis welcomes Pat and Randy and we see the agreement that he put together.  

Pat says he reads through his own contracts and he will have to look at it before he signs it.

Randy says he has something to say so he is going to the ring.

Randy says he will be the first one to admit it.  He says he doesn't need Pat McAfee.  The truth is, he wants him.  Randy says he is the only straight shooter in this company.  Pat doesn't tell him what he wants to hear, but what he needs to hear.  He needed to hear that all he had to do was be him.  Who would have thought.  They were all set.  He was listening to Pat.  He won the Chamber and he is facing Drew McIntyre.  There is no issue with Drew but he knew he could beat him and take the title back to St. Louis.

Then Cody Rhodes won the title back.  Cody and he were friends.  He couldn't hurt his friend.  Then he let Cody give him permission to be him.  Who the f . . . who the hell needs to give Randy permission to be himself.  Randy says he wrote the book.  He listens to the voices.  That cocky son of a bitch gave Randy permission to be him.  In friendships, there is give and take.  With Cody, all he did was give and all Cody did was take.  They main event Wrestlemania tomorrow. 

Two years ago, Cody needed a friend to have his back and he calls . . . Seth Rollins.  He didn't call.  All he does is take.  Now Solo's bloodline is all over Cody.  As a friend, he was there to have his back, but he was put through that table after dealing with career threatening back surgery.  All Cody does is take.  He gifts a title match to his friend . . .. at the time, Kevin Owens.  Wouldn't you know it, Kevin turns on Cody and what does he do as Cody's friend.  He has his back and he tries to talk sense into Kevin.  He gets dropped on his head by a pile driver.  He was almost put out for the rest of his career.  All Cody has done is take.

Pat McAfee has done more to help him than Cody has done in a lifetime.  Pat will not hurt his legacy.  You have hurt my legacy.  Tomorrow night, he will right the wrongs and write his legacy and win numbrer fifteen.  He will do it with the three most dangerous letters in sports entertainment.  R . . . K . . . O.

Pat is in his truck and Nick is outside.

Pat says that is what a WWE Superstar looks like.  He says he put a good word in with the higher ups.

Pat and Randy drive away at a very high speed.

Fab says the only person who should be embarrassed is you.  You keep coming for Jade, but you fail fail fail fail.

Rhea says she hasn't has the chance to come for her.  Since she won at Elimination Chamber, all you have done is hide.  You hide behind them, behind social media.  You do everything to avoid being face to face with her.  This is your last chance to say anything to her . . . . alone.

Jade says she has this.

Jade asks if she is scared of a cosplay goth kid with insecurities.  She says she is everything Rhea wishes to be.  A real bitch.  You get your way because of the weak ass locker room.  She says she is sparing Rhea.  She will bring belt to ass and beat her ass.

Rhea laughs about wanting to be like Jade.  Rhea says she has been fighting people like Jade her entire career.  Do you think her insecurities hold her back?  They make her who she is today.  She is a multi time world champion.  If you want to make it quick at Mania, they can do it.  It won't be in your favor and she calls Jade a narcissistic bitch.
