It’s the final SmackDown before the weekend events in Las Vegas. I expect anything to happen today.

Joe and Wade are sitting at the announcer’s desk, while Mark is handling the ring announcing duties.
Seth Rollins is out to open the show. (interesting suit) Seth is cutting a promo for his match on WrestleMania Saturday.
The Andre the Giant Battle Royal — Truth just eliminated Carlito. A-Town Down under just took out Pretty Deadly. Rey Fenix takes out Santos Escobar. Otis took out the Creed brother, but the momentum took him out also. Andrade takes out A-Town Down Under. Chad Gable was taken out by Rey Fenix. Pete Dunn takes out Kaiser. 4 left are Shinsuke, Andrade, Carmelo, and Rey. Andrade eliminates Shinsuke (Chad Gable dressed as El Grande takes out Rey. Hayes and Andrade are the last 2 standing. Carmelo Hayes takes out Andrade for the win.
Rhea Ripley is on her way to the ring. (I still have no clue why they took the belt off her to begin with.) Iyo Sky is heading to the ring. Iyo never got a word out, then Bianca’s music started. The Universe is letting Bianca know that they are not happy with her. Naomi just walked out, still going after Bianca. Here comes Jade. It all breaks down, Naomi does a runner with Iyo taking out the rest of the ladies.
Motor City Machine Guns in a tag title match against Street Profits. #DIY: Get involved in ending the match. DIY claiming they are the titles theirs. Nick has had enough, the Tag Belts will be hung over the Ring, in a T.L.C match with the Profits, Guns and DIY
Randy Orton is on his way to the ring. (saw an interview with Kevin Owens, he was given permission to use a modified pile driver, which is actually safer than the regular pile driver) Randy still has no opponent. Randy has issued an open challenge.
Zelina Vega, in a rematch with Chelsea Green, Piper Niven and Alba Fire, has been banned from the ringside. Zelina with a legimate win.
L.A. Knight in the ring for a chat. Knight is facing Solo Sokia in a singles match. Knight was on the verge of winning, but Jacob Fatu showed up, and Braun Strowman came to the rescue of Knight. Nick just turned things into a tag match with Knight/Strowman facing Sokia/Fatu. Braun Strowman/L.A. Knight get the win.
6-man tag team with Rey, Dragon Lee and Rey Fenix facing Chad Gable/Creed Brothers. (Never been a fan of Chad and the Creeds) At times it was a 3 on 1 or a 3 on 2 match, but in the end, it would be Rey, Dragon and Rey with the win.
The final face-off between John Cena and Cody Rhodes. Not wasting any time with John coming out also. ( I can’t stand John as a heel) John is trying to get into Cody’s head. Shut up, John. Cody just told John he is overrated. Cody just gave John a much-needed tongue-lashing. The best thing Cody said was that it’s 2025 and John still can’t wrestle. John tried to drop Cody, but in the end, it was Cody with a crossroads, leaving John in the ring on his back.
