Bengaluru, March 14: Last night's edition of Smackdown Live was filled with the fallouts from the Fastlane PPV event. We expected to see a huge announcement from Shane McMahon about a Wrestlemania match and we were also set to witness Asuka make her first appearance on the blue brand.
Plus, a confrontation between the WWE Champion AJ Styles and his callenger Shinsuke Nakamura was also lined up on the show hosted by the Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Indiana.
Just like we felt Smackdown Live kicked off with the entry of the Champ AJ Styles, who received a standing ovation from the crowd. The audience chanted 'you deserve it' when he mentioned that he is headed to Wrestlemania with the WWE Championship around his waist.
As expected, his promo was interrupted by Shinsuke Nakamura who talked about his destiny to connect his knees to the face of Styles and win the WWE championship at Wrestlemania.
But, Rusev's ally English, who was at ringside interfered to disqualify the match. Styles received a beatdown before Nakamura saved him by putting the two heels away with Kinshasa.
Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn came down to the ring and delivered a hellacious assault to the commissioner of the Smackdown. EMT came out to carry Shane McMahon to the backstage as the show ended.
