Things started to pick up on Smackdown Live after a number of twists were in-store for the show. This certainly entertained the fans as well as heated things up on the road to Wrestlemania.
The opening segment consisted of an attack from Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn to both Corbin and Ziggler which was indeed an interesting way to start things off. These kinds of tensed moments do force the audience to sit on the edge of their seats.
Well that was a very interesting way to open the show tonight, wasn’t expecting them to open with Ziggler vs. Corbin, enjoyed Owens and Zayn attacking both to stop the match from evening happening #SDLive

The women’s division matchup was a short affair as Sarah Logan is finding it hard to cope up with the main roster level.
The champion managed to get over of it and produce a good match. However, it’s been too long that Charlotte Flair has not defended her title on the show. Plus, there’s still no contender for the tile which is not good either for her status.
The matchup between Baron Corbin and Kevin Owens was a really good one. Corbin pinning Owens, fair and square was unthinkable even before a couple of weeks from now.
It was good to see this young man picking up the victory to head to his first WWE Championship opportunity at Fastlane. The officials should continue to keep the momentum by his side.
Real physical match between Baron Corbin and Kevin Owens tonight, nice to see Corbin pick up the victory and advance to the #WWEFastlane main event, they really have to start doing something with Corbin again after cooling off on his character in recent months #SDLive

The United States Championship open challenge got cancelled due to Jinder Mahal’s interference but the segment turned out to be an entertaining one.
Seeing Randy Orton competing for the mid-card title is definitely an interesting option for the creative team and they are doing the exact same with him.
We expect to see a multi-man match for Roode’s title at Fastlane.
Awesome main event between Dolph Ziggler and Sami Zayn tonight, pretty crazy to see Ziggler back in the main event mix after spending a decent amount of time away from television (minus the #RoyalRumble appearance) #SDLive

It was also a pleasant scene to witness Dolph Ziggler getting the spotlight after coming back onboard after a short hiatus. This man deserves to be in the prime title picture and received the same.
In another hard-hitting affair on the night, he pinned Sami Zayn, efficiently to get into the Fastlane PPV which is now a fatal-5-way title match.
Overall, a pretty good episode tonight, some nice advancement for the upcoming #WWEFastlane PPV and a lot of solid wrestling #SDLive
