WWE SMACKDOWN REPORT: MORE MATCHES FOR MANIA, NIKKI ON COMMENTARY, AND MORE

By Richard Trionfo on 2020-03-27 21:57:00

We are at the WWE Performance Center and your announcer is Michael Cole.

Sasha Banks makes her way to the ring and she is joined by the Smackdown Women's Champion Bayley.

Bayley says we are a week away from Wrestlemania and it will take place over two nights.  The best of the best will compete.  Sasha says lives will change and dreams can come true.  Bayley says their Wrestlemania is a nightmare because of Paige.  Sad, irrelevant Paige.  Paige is jealous of their careers and how dominant Bayley has been.  Now it is a Fatal Five Way Elimination Match.  How is that fair?  Paige thinks she is slick putting Sasha in the match, but that will backfire.  They are best friends.  They are better together and there is no separation.

Sasha is about to speak but she is interrupted by Lacey Evans' music.

Lacey says that Bayley can't keep her mouth shut and can't let her friend get a word in.

Bayley calls Lacey a loser and Sasha says that Lacey should deal with her child who thinks she is a loser.

Lacey says Wrestlemania will be a nightmare because I will break Sasha's jaw with a Woman's Right.  She will beat some manners into Bayley when . . . 

Naomi's music interrupts Lacey.  

Naomi is with Lacey until she has to deal with Sasha and Bayley.  They have unfinished business.  Naomi says it will be a bonus when she snags that blue wig and becomes a three time champion.

Bayley says people will not be able to interrupt each other and have everyone's music play, and . . . 

Tamina makes her way to the ring.

Tamina says actions speak louder than words and Tamina with a head butt to Naomi and a super kick to Lacey.  Sasha and Bayley go after Naomi in the corner but they back into Tamina.  Sasha and Bayley leave the ring and Bayley has to go back to get her title belt.

We go to commercial.
