WWE SMACKDOWN REPORT: A GAUNTLET, A TOUCH OF BLISS, TWO WOMEN'S TAG MATCHES, BUT NO WEIRD TATTOOS

By Richard Trionfo on 2020-03-06 21:59:00

We are back and it is time to move on to the Firefly Funhouse, but first a look back at John Cena's return to Smackdown and the challenge made by the Fiend for a match against the man who said he was not good enough for Wrestlemania this year.

We go to the Firefly Funhouse and it is full of John Cena photos.  Bray asks what do you think.  He says you must be asking yourselves, "Why John Cena?" 

Ramblin Rabbit says he knows and it is because John Cena destroyed him six years ago at Wrestlemania.  We see footage from the match.

Bray says time can either hurt you or heal you.  Bray says if it wasn't for John Cena, the Firefly Funhouse wouldn't exist.  Bray thanks John Cena and he forgives him.  However, there is a catch.  John Cena also helped create something else.  A being built on pain and fueled by vengeance.  HE is waiting at Wrestlemania and HE is not so forgiving.  Life is a circle and whatever beast you make of yourself, the dark side comes again.  That is the beauty of a circle.  Round and round we go.  LET ME IN.

We take a look at how we got a Universal Championship Match for Wrestlemania.

Kayla Braxton is in the interview area with Baron Corbin.  Baron says Kayla cannot talk about their history because they are done.  Baron says he is here to talk about his plan for Wrestlemania, but . . . 

Elias starts strumming and Baron yells at Elias.  Elias says he was tuning out Baron's voice because it was annoying.  

Baron says he would not give Elias money if he was on the street corner.  He calls Elias a gimmick and says he lives in a fantasy world.  If Elias keeps it up, he will have to answer to his king.

Heavy Machinery is in the back and Otis sees Mandy and he apologizes for Valentine's Day.  Otis says he got a text saying she would be late.

Mandy says it is a little too late.  A woman doesn't appreciate being stood up like that.  Mandy walks away.

We go to commercial.
