Opening segment

• Waste of time.

John Cena & Nikki Bella defeated Carmellsworth

• James Ellsworth says he's the Mack Daddy of Smackdown. Where's the lie?
• Ellsworth has Carmella on his tights. FANTASTIC.
• Miz and Maryse come out and Carmella capitalizes by kicking Nikki. Good way to get Cena and Nikki to work from underneath.
• Nikki and Cena quickly hit double knuckle shuffle that Nikki messes up. Stereo finishers and STF's.
• Miz says he loves Maryse, but Nikki Bella and Cena weren't allowed to be mentioned on TV for a long time.

Backstage Crappenings

• Orton says Styles should probably just "run."

Ambrose/Corbin

• Curt Hawkins, who is called "Chad" by Mauro, says Ambrose started something he couldn't finish.
• Ambrose comes out, beats him up and cuts a corny promo on Ambrose being a lone wolf.
• Baron Corbin is on the tron, and man, does he lay a stinker on the mic.
• Ambrose is going looking for him since Corbin won't come to him. This was really bad.
• Corbin attacks Ambrose with a pipe after heaving a security guard at him, then drops a forklift on Ambrose.
• There was some camera trickery here. Stop insulting our intelligence.

Blissertation

• Alexa Bliss runs down all the people she won't be facing at WrestleMania.
• Becky Lynch comes out, followed by Natalya.
• STOP SAYING YOU SEE IN PROMOS.
• Alexa Bliss asks if Natalya got into catnip. 
• Mickie James blowing everyone out of the water on the mic as she insinuates she gets a title shot.
• Daniel Bryan comes out and says Alexa Bliss will be defending her title against every available woman in Smackdown. He books them in a "holla holla tag team match"
• It's a "tag team match, playa." How does everyone fuck that up?

Mickie James & Alexa Bliss defeated Natalya & Becky Lynch.

• Becky Lynch does four moves that left her opponent's shoulders on the mat, but goes for the pin when Bliss sits up.
• Mickie James' pants are terrible. 
• Despite her shitty pants, she's still awesome in the ring. Her Mickierana looked nice. 
• There's a funny spot where Mickie almost runs into Natalya.
• Real missed opportunity to not have Becky Lynch do a knee to a downed opponent
• Natayla turned on Becky. Alexa and Mickie win after Alexa tags herself in.
• Mickie turns on Alexa!!! Alexa's sell of the Mick Kick was outstanding.

Randy Orton defeated AJ Styles

• AJ Styles starts off with some awesome headlock work.
• Orton selling Styles' leg kicks like a legend. He follows up with an unbelievable overhead suplex.
• AJ Styles just shot one hell of a fast single leg.
• Orton even busted out a full nelson slam.
• There's not really a lot to break down beyond this being some awesome wrestling.
• Styles had scouted the RKO and avoided it on the springboard! He misses the 450 and Orton lands a pop up RKO and wins!
