Smackdown in Chicago

15 days until the ultimate weekend in Las Vegas at WrestleMania.

Joe and Wade are at the Announcer’s desk with Mark taking care of Ring Announcer duties.

Lash Legend is out with a cracked rib thanks to Nia Jax.

Chicago’s own CM Punk is on the way to the ring. Cutting his promo for this match at WrestleMania, I have a feeling that Seth and Roman are both in the building. Actually, Paul Heyman has joined CM in the ring.

The newest member of SmackDown is on his way to the ring, Rey Fenix. I watched him in AEW. I can’t wait for the Universe to see him perform. Nathan Frazier from NXT, who is part of the NXT Men’s tag team champions, is in the ring to face Rey. They both have amazing speed, don’t blink during this match or you could miss something amazing. Rey with the win. No surprise there. Byron is in the ring with him for a chat.

L.A. Knight is on the way to the ring for his match with Toma Tonga. Let’s see how long before someone interferes. This is a title defense for Knight, but I can’t see titles changing hands this close to WrestleMania. Told you, even with Solo sticking his nose in, Toma still can’t get the job done.

Well, Wade is going to have his hands full; he will be in the ring with Charlotte and Tiffany. Cutting another good promo for their match at WrestleMania. The Universe is getting loud on this one.

Nick just announced that next week there will be a Women’s Tag Team Gauntlet match to determine who will face Liv and Raquel for the Women’s tag team titles at WrestleMania.

#DIY facing Motor City Machine Guns for the #1 contendership. Street Profits are sitting at the ringside. The exposed turnbuckle that Ciampa had tried to use backfired on them as Motor City stole the win.

B-Fab is on her way to the ring, facing Naomi, who has turned heel. You know that jade will not be far off. Holy Cow, Naomi never got to the ring before Jade attacked her. I can’t see B-Fab winning this, but this could get ugly. It got ugly, which I knew it would. Jade just took Naomi out with a hell of a boot. Here is Nick Aldis out with an announcement, the ladies are on the way to WrestleMania.

Kevin Owens is on his way to the ring. This is looking serious. Nick just introduced Kevin. This is why they tell the kids to please not try this at home. Kevin has done this for 25 years. For the last 4 months, Kevin has been dealing with a neck issue, and now he has to go have surgery. Kevin doesn’t know if or when he will be able to return to the ring. Here comes Randy. This is going to be interesting. At this point, Randy has no opponent for WrestleMania. Randy just hit Nick with an RKO. That is a fine coming.

Last Man Standing Match between Braun Strowman facing Jacob Fatu. This will be wild, to say the least. It was wild with Jacob Fatu barely getting up to beat the count to win the right to face L.A. Knight for the United States Title at WrestleMania.

Recap of what happened on RAW between John and Cody.

The final SmackDown before WrestleMania is in Seattle.

Roman has finally arrived at SmackDown, trash-talking CM Punk. Roman is taking credit that it was he is the reason that he is back in the WWE and in the Main Event. Roman is demanding that CM come out to the ring, but here comes Seth. More promo work for their match. Here comes the third piece of this puzzle. I have no clue how this is going to end. Oh Crap, is this the end of Roman and Paul? OMG, Paul just told Roman No, CM just hit Roman with a GTS. Paul Heyman will be in CM Punk’s corner at WrestleMania.
