Let’s get the main show started inside an empty WWE Performance Center!
They actually had an opening video package that was fitting to the pay-per-view. WrestleMania’s intro package was done way ahead of time. This promo was definitely themed for the WWE HQ’s location.
SmackDown Tag Team Titles
New Day vs Miz & Morrison vs Lucha House Party vs Forgotten Sons
Big E nailed Corey Graves with his jacked before the match started. It knocked Corey’s headset off. You could hear the whole thing, but sadly, it wasn’t shown on camera. Maybe a fan in the building caught it on their cell phone.
Kofi and Metalik started out the match with some fast-paced action. Metalik hit a spiking rana and Kofi no-sold it for some reason. Then Blake tagged in and started knocking everyone off the apron. He tagged Cutler and they hit a double team backbreaker on Metalik.
Metalik broke up the Sons’ plans with a trustfall on them. Then Morrison tagged in. Metalik knocked him to the floor and and then they climbed up and hit a Spanish Fly on everyone who just happened to be on the outside.

R-Truth vs MVP

Truth didn’t stand a chance. He was quickly defeated with a spear. This was a set-up.

SmackDown Women’s Title Match
Bayley vs Tamina Snuka
Bayley asked Tamina how therapy is going. She must watch her opponent’s viral videos.
Tamina caught Bayley after surviving an onslaught. Tamina put Bayley on the top rope and then they pleaded with her to back up. Then referee Jessika Carr backed Tamina off and let Bayley get down.
Tamina slammed Bayley back down and Bayley rolled out of the ring.
Bayley started wrapping Tamina’s leg around the post and then rolled back in to break Carr’s count. Bayley then hit dropkick to Tamina’s knee as Banks applauded her.
Tamina fought Bayley off and hit a hip attack in the corner. Then she went for a Superkick, but Bayley grabbed Tamina’s leg and went for a kneebar. Tamina rolled to the rope. That was a good spot.
Bayley tried to get Tamina up for a Samoan Drop or something, but she fell flat and couldn’t do it. Bayley fought back and Tamina took some shots while draped over the apron. Then Bayley took a sip of water before dousing it all over Tamina. That was rude. It also woke Tamina up.
Tamina bounced Bayley off the ropes and hit a clothesline on the outside before throwing her into the barricade. They went inside and Bayley went for the apron, so Tamina hit a Superkick that knocked her to the floor. Then Tamina sent Bayley over the announce table.
