Goldberg opened this week’s SmackDown with his Universal Championship. He raised the question about who’d be the next in line to face him for the title. Roman Reigns entered the ring quoting “I’m Next.” He left the ring leaving us wondering whether this match would take place at WrestleMania 36.

SmackDown Women’s Champion Bayley was out to take on Naomi in a non-title match. Before the bell rang, Sasha Banks returned to provide a distraction to Naomi who still hit the rear-view on Bayley. But Banks attacked her to disqualify the match. A beatdown started on Naomi until Lacey Evans ran down and made the save.

This set up an impromptu tag team match where Naomi and Lacey Evans competed against Bayley and Sasha Banks. Banks dropped Naomi with a Backstabber and went for the Bank Statement. Evans pulled Banks out of the ring and started brawling outside the ring. Naomi used this opportunity to roll up a distracted Bayley to get the pinfall win.

Kofi Kingston vs. Robert Roode was the next matchup on SmackDown where Roode hit a Spinebuster on Kofi and called for the Glorious DDT. Kofi countered with an SOS as Ziggler put Roode’s foot on the bottom rope. This distracted Kofi as Roode rolled him up for the win.

Backstage, Tucker Knight tried to fire up Otis Dojovic from his heartbreak from Valentine’s Day.

Renee Young hosted a contract signing on SmackDown for Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Braun Strowman at Elimination Chamber PPV. Braun said he’s no problem facing Strowman and his buddies, Sami Zayn and Cesaro at the same time. Thus, a 3-on-1 Handicap Match was made official for the PPV. Once the paperwork was done the three heels attacked Strowman which ended with Sami’s Helluva kick followed by Nakamura delivering a Kinshasa.

Daniel Bryan defeated Curtis Axel in a short matchup on SmackDown. After initial domination by Axel, Bryan came back with his pendant YES Kicks and countered a Perfect Plex with the LeBell Lock to get the submission win as Drew Gulak watched from commentary.

New SmackDown tag team champions The Miz and John Morrison came out to the ring to learn that their next title defense will take place inside the Elimination Chamber. The five opponents for them will be The New Day, Heavy Machinery, Lucha House Party, Robert Roode and Dolph Ziggler, and The Usos.

After this announcement, The Usos came out to compete against Miz and Morrison where the latter one sent Jey to outside and went for the Starship Pain. But Jimmy kicks him to the head whereas Jey landed a Superkick to the Miz on the floor. Jimmy hit a super Destroyer from the top to the mat on Morrison to which Jey hit the Frogsplash for the big victory on SmackDown.

John Cena returned on the main event slot of SmackDown to announce that he chooses not to compete at WrestleMania, this year. The fans booed this decision as Cena started saluting the crowd when we heard the familiar sounds of “The Fiend” Bray Wyatt. The lights went out and when it was back, we saw The Fiend standing on the ramp and pointing out to the WrestleMania sign. Cena nodded to that agreeing to the match as the show went off the air.
