The go-home edition of WWE SmackDown on FOX opens live from the ThunderDome at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida as Michael Cole welcomes us. He’s joined by Corey Graves.

– We go right to the ring and out first comes WWE Hall of Famer Edge to a pop. He stops on the stage and poses as the pyro goes off. Edge heads to the ring as Greg Hamilton does the introduction.

Edge welcomes us and says he had a lot of choices to make. He talks about WWE Champion Drew McIntyre defending his title inside the Elimination Chamber, and WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns defending his title at Elimination Chamber. Edge says there are 13 potential opponent and he has to pick someone for WrestleMania 37. This is the biggest decision of his career. The music interrupts and out comes WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns with Paul Heyman and Jey Uso. Cole hypes the Chamber match to determine Reigns’ opponent on Sunday, and then Reigns’ title defense later in the night.

Reigns and Edge stare each other down as Reigns slowly walks down and stops at ringside. Fans chant “you suck!” as they enter the ring. Reigns says Edge does not have 13 to choose from because there’s only 1 and that 1 is about to be a six-time WrestleMania main eventer. Edge can pick a main eventer, or he can pick the main eventer. Edge talks about how he saw Reigns lose his cool last week, which is rare. Edge realized Reigns needs him to be in the WrestleMania 37 main event. If Edge faces AJ Styles or anyone else, then that’s your main event. Edge sees Reigns’ insecurity.

Edge gives Reigns some praise but says he’s cracking under pressure, and Edge hasn’t even focused on him yet. Edge asks if Reigns really wants him to test his armor and focus on him. Think about that long and hard, is that what you want? The music interrupts and out comes Sami Zayn with his documentary film crew. Sami starts ranting about WWE disrespecting him every week but to be disrespected by two of the biggest stars, that’s something else. Edge is acting like Sami can’t make it to WrestleMania, and Reigns is so worried about Edge he’s not seeing the other threats in front of him. Sami is in the ring now, ranting to both Edge and Reigns. Sami wants his moment right now.

Sami calls for his camera men to get this iconic shot of him pointing at the WrestleMania 37 sign. He says make no mistake about it, he is going to WrestleMa… Uso superkicks Sami’s head off and he goes down. Reigns hands Heyman his title and he steps to Edge as fans boo him. Reigns whispers something in Edge’s ear. Reigns then backs off and nods, showing Edge he’s stepping to him and away from him in peace. We have no idea what Reigns said to Edge. Reigns, Heyman and Uso exit the ring now as Reigns’ music hits.

– The announcers plug tonight’s six-man main event. Also, Bayley will welcome the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions to her “Ding Dong, Hello!” show.

Apollo Crews vs. Shinsuke Nakamura 

Nakamura grabs Apollo in an armbar and converts that into a pin for the win.

Winner: Shinsuke Nakamura 

Apollo attacks Shinsuke after the match and grabs the steel steps. Big E gets in his way and reminds Apollo that he lost and he needs to go and stop. Big E helps Shinsuke, and Apollo attacks Big E and Shinsuke from behind with the steel steps.

Apollo wants to continue the assault and grabs the steel steps again in the ring but the referee talks him out of it. He chucks the steps out of the ring. It’s not shown on camera, but it looks like he struck Big E. Medical personnel tend to him and Apollo looks pleased.

Big E is carried away on a stretcher as Seth Rollins makes his entrance. Rollins says what happened to Big E was a tragedy and being betrayed is a tragedy. He happens to have experience with betrayal, so he understands Big E’s pain. If people don’t believe that he understands, he points us to the video of last week of his return.

Seth says he’s still suffering from the trauma of last week and it’s unacceptable what happened. He drafted a letter, a formal complaint to WWE officials with legal action pending. He’s going to win, and the reason why he this is because his return was planned for months and it was ruined by a bunch of losers. And they’re afraid that they’ll divide him and his movement. He has a vision for a better SmackDown. They are strong and powerful, and it’s the start of a revolution. Our moment and our homecoming was stripped away.

What happened to Cesaro will happen to everyone that stands in their way of the movement because they are powerful and winners.

Kevin Owens and Edge are backstage and Edge says he respects Owens’ attitude of not giving up no matter how many times Roman gets back down. Owens says if anyone can relate to how he’s feeling, it’s Edge. The last two months have been hell, but just how Edge fought over the last year to return, he’s doing the same thing now. Edge says he respects that, and hopes to see him at WrestleMania.

Adam Pearce and Sonya Deville help stretch Big E into an ambulance.

The Riott Squad vs. Natalya and Tamina

Tamina wins the match with a tilt-a-whirl slam on Ruby. Billie Kay came out and distracted the Riott Squad.

Winners: Natalya and Tamina

After the match, Tamina super kicks Billie.

Edge is backstage when King Baron Corbin walks up and says this feels like the main event of WrestleMania 37. Edge isn’t interested. Corbin brags on how expensive his suit and watch are, and says next time Edge sees someone walk up with a suit and watch like him, he should bow down. Edge just brags about his smartphone and won’t take Corbin seriously. Corbin storms off.

– We see the ring crew setting the ring up for Bayley’s “Ding Dong, Hello!” show. Back to commercial.

– Back from the break and the door bell rings as Bayley steps through the front door of her “Ding Dong, Hello!” set. She welcomes everyone to the second episode of her talk show segment. She knocks Michael Cole and then says she has two big guests tonight – WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler.

The door bell rings again and Bayley opens the door. Jax and Baszler are there. They come through the door but don’t want to sit. They end up taking shots at Bianca Belair and SmackDown Women’s Champion Sasha Banks while Bayley laughs and listens. Reginald The Sommelier comes out with a mic to interrupt. He can’t let them slander the good name of Banks. He says she’s like a bottle of fine wine while they’re like boxed wine. Reginald enters the ring and Bayley wants him to use her front door but Jax gets in his face, as does Baszler. They talk some trash to Reginald but the music interrupts and out comes Banks to a pop.

Banks gets in Reginald’s face and says he never speaks for her. For Jax and Baszler, whether they like it or not she is The Boss, and the title means she makes the rules. She goes on and says the women’s division revolves around her. Jax laughs. The music interrupts and out comes Belair. She has words for Reginald as she enters the ring. Belair then tells Banks that she is the star of the division because she won the Royal Rumble and people don’t revolve around her, they get beat by her. It looks like Belair is about to pick her WrestleMania opponent but Reginald interrupts and says they all three are on the same team, and should be going against Jax, Baszler and Bayley. Reginald proposes a match. Jax is upset now. She starts yelling at Reginald. Baszler, Banks and Belair get in on the yelling while Bayley readies for a match. We go to commercial.

Sasha Banks, Bianca Belair and Reginald vs. Bayley, Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler

Nia gets hit with a double dropkick from Sasha and Bianca and Reginald falls on top of Nia for the win.

Winner: Sasha Banks, Bianca Belair and Reginald 

After the match, we see Bayley down on the outside recovering. Jax seethes as Reginald, Banks and Belair start celebrating. We go to replays as Banks’ music plays. They continue celebrating on the ramp, taunting Jax and Baszler.

Kayla is backstage with Cesaro now. She brings up Seth Rollins’ comments from earlier. Cesaro wasn’t patronizing Rollins last week, he was respecting him and just like everyone else he was hoping the old Rollins came back. He’s known for years about Rollins’ skills and accomplishments, and everyone knew he had the chance to come back and make an impact but instead he came back as the same smug, condescending SOB that he was before. That’s why everyone walked away from him last week. Cesaro hasn’t forgotten about what Rollins did but now he needs to focus, first on tonight’s six-man match, then winning the Elimination Chamber, and then going on to win the Universal Title from Roman Reigns. Edge walks up. He doesn’t know what has gotten into Cesaro lately but he admires the grit and says not many people here still have it. Cesaro thanks him. Cesaro mentions after he wins at the pay-per-view, he will see Edge at WrestleMania. Cesaro walks off as Edge watches.

Rey and Dominik Mysterio vs. Otis and Chad Gable

Otis appears to have turned heel as he keeps splashing Ret under orders by Chad and he gets DQ’ed.

Winner by DQ: Dominik and Rey Mysterio 

After the bell, the referee crawls over to check on Rey but Gable and Otis aren’t done, and are ignoring the referee. Gable drags Rey over to the corner and Otis hits a big splash from the second turnbuckle. Fans start booing Otis now. Gable hypes Otis up as he hulks up and stands tall. The referee checks on Rey while Alpha Academy celebrates now. Dominik is still down on the floor. We go to another replay. Gable continues hyping Otis up to end the segment.

– Edge approaches Daniel Bryan in the back. Edge says Bryan fighting to get his career back also inspired him, and he’s thankful. Bryan is glad Edge is back. Bryan proposes Edge pick him for WrestleMania 37 if he wins the Elimination Chamber and the Universal Title on Sunday. Edge asks if he would call that a dream match. Bryan says some people would call it long overdue. Edge says those people would be right. They nod at each other as Edge walks off. Bryan warms up for the main event as we go back to commercial.

Kevin Owens interrupts Cesaro and Daniel Bryan in the back, asking if they want to talk strategy. Bryan says they were discussing what to do if they get hit with Stunners. Cesaro says Owens would never turn on them but they sarcastically talk about how Owens has turned in the past. Owens gets it. He says last week he interrupted a big fight and decided to strike first when he saw both of them coming for him. Owens says they don’t have to worry about a Stunner tonight because they’re on the same team and he really wants to win tonight, but on Sunday… they do have to worry about several Stunners. Owens walks off and Cesaro says at least he’s honest.

– Carmela is doing her hair and makeup in the back when Reginald the sommelier brings her a glass of wine. She asks where he was just now and why it took so long to bring her this glass. He says he had to make sure it was the perfect temperature. Carmella asks if they’re playing games now. She asks if he really thinks she just didn’t see him out in the ring. He says it’s not how it looks. She tells him to relax and says she understands, she knows Reginald will do the right thing because if he doesn’t… well let’s hope it doesn’t come to that. She takes a sip of the wine and spits it out, then tosses the rest in Reginald’s face. Carmella can’t believe he is serving this to her now. She tells him to go get a better glass and he walks off.

– It’s announced that Sasha Banks and Bianca Belair will challenge Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler for the tag titles at Elimination Chamber.

Sami Zayn, King Corbin and Jey Uso vs. Daniel Bryan, Kevin Owens and Cesaro 

Bryan gets an under hook top rope suplex on Zayn, and Bryan turns that into the Yes Lock for the win.

Winners: Daniel Bryan, Cesaro and Kevin Owens 

After the match, King Corbin hits Bryan with End of Days, Owens hits Corbin with a Stunner, Zayn hits a dragon suplex on Owens, Cesaro hits Zayn with an uppercut, Jey Uso hits Cesaro with a super kick, Edge hits Jey Uso with a Spear and Roman Reigns spears Edge to end the show.
