The final show before everyone heads to Las Vegas for the show of the Immortals

Joe has been joined by Corey from the announcer’s desk with Markk Nash on announcing duties.
The 12th Annual André the Giant Memorial Battle Royal is the big highlight of SmackDown before Mania. It’s always a chaotic start to the weekend—keep an eye out for Danhausen, who’s been teased as a potential “curse” on the match. I wish this were more special than it is. You win, but you really don’t get anything. Royce Keys with the win.
Street Fight: The Wyatt Sicks vs. The MFTs. This one should be brutal, especially since it’s a Street Fight right before the biggest weekend of the year. This will be ugly, plain and simple. Keep a watch on Tama Tonga; he could be the difference. This is just nasty, street fight rules, and nothing is off limits. Tama had Uncle Howdey set up to take the win, but Solo jumped in the ring, hitting Uncle with a spike, taking the win. Tama was not happy at all. Thought we might lose the announcers’ table there, but it was just the cover that made the sacrifice. Corey/Joe had to scurry
🎤 Key Appearances & Segments
Cody Rhodes & Randy Orton: This feud is at its boiling point, especially with Pat McAfee as the wild card. If Orton fails tomorrow night, McAfee is gone from WWE, so the tension will be massive. If Pat plays any part in helping Randy win this, it’s going to ruin things. Here are a couple of thoughts, a rumour that Jelly Role could turn heel. Another rumour: Could Kevin Owens return?
Cody is in the ring now, cutting his promo. CM Punk just walked out. Heading to the ring to see Cody. Cody as CM, if they shook hands, hugged, would he kick him in the balls? It was the most needed moment. The champions in the ring are closing the Road; no one can do anything else.
Jade Cargill & Rhea Ripley: After their face-off last week, expect one final confrontation before their massive title match. This is another one that needs to end. I think getting Jade was a big mistake. To restore any respect to the Women’s division, Rhea needs to win this.
Drew McIntyre & Jacob Fatu: These two have been getting personal (McIntyre bringing up Fatu’s history), so expect some chaos here. I can see Jacob winning this. They need to get Drew off to the movie set uninjured as much as he can be. Rumour is he won’t return at this point until SummerSlam.
Damien Priest/R-Truth defending the Men’s Smackdown Men’s titles against The New Day. Needless to say Damein and R-Truth kept the titles.
Tiffany Stratton is facing Jordyanne Grace for the #1 spot to challenge Guilia for the Women’s United States Title. Guilia/Kiana are at the ringside. Tiffany wins.
Trick Williams/Sami Zayn cutting a promo. The usual trash-talking. For today, Trick was the last man standing.
Alexa Bliss/Charlotte are in tag action against Bayley/Lyria. Well, this just fell apart with Lash/Nia showing up.
