Bengaluru, April 10: WWE had summed up all the taping until the post-WrestleMania episode of Monday Night Raw before the shutdown mandate was issued in the state of Florida. The PC situated here was the only place they were conducting closed-door taping. Amid increasing COVID-19 cases, the future tapings of shows looked uncertain but it looks like the company managed to arrange more set of tapings starting from tonight.
As a result, we will be receiving the next edition of SmackDown which should be bringing together all the fallouts from the bygone WrestleMania 36 event. A new championship era will be beginning on the show as per the confirmation. There will be a WrestleMania rematch on the card as well when the show airs (possibly in live format after a few weeks) from the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida.

SmackDown will be graced by the presence of a brand new champion who is looking forward to ushering in a new era. Braun Strowman has won the Universal Championship match against WWE Hall of Famer Bill Goldberg on Night Two of WrestleMania 36 last Sunday.

What will the future hold for Strowman now that he carries the crown of Universal Champion? Will a new challenger step up and run the risk of getting THOSE hands?
Tune in to SmackDown at 8/7 C on FOX to see the champ reset the SmackDown landscape."

But following the win, The Boss seemed distracted by the championship that she is eyeing to have for a long time. With WrestleMania in behind, is it time for the inevitable crack in their friendship to become a reality? We'll find out when SmackDown airs.
