The WrestleMania Backlash go-home edition of WWE SmackDown on FOX opens up with the usual intro video. We’re live from the WWE ThunderDome at the Yuengling Center in Tampa, Florida as Michael Cole welcomes us. He’s joined at ringside by Pat McAfee. We go right to the ring. );
– We’re live in the ring with Jey Uso as fans start booing him when the music stops. Jey says his brother Jimmy Uso disrespected the head of the table last week, their cousin WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns, so this week he leaves them no choice but to handle some family business. Jey then introduces Reigns, calling him the man who will handle Cesaro at WrestleMania Backlash on Sunday. The boos get louder as Reigns makes his entrance with Paul Heyman.
The Intercontinental Championship will be defended in a Fatal Four-Way match on next week’s episode of Smackdown. WWE announced during tonight’s show that Apollo Crews will defend his championship against Sami Zayn, Kevin Owens, and Big E.
Tonight’s show saw Crews hold a ceremony to present Commander Azeez wiht the Nigerian Medal of Honor, only to have Big E., Zayn, and Owens all separately come out. It turned into a brawl and later in the show Crews demanded action from Adam Pearce and Sonya Deville. Deville told Crews to relax or Pearce would book him in a Fatal Four-Way next week and Pearce jumped on the idea.
