- Zu Beginn der Show sehen wir Shane McMahon und Daniel Bryan im Ring. Die beiden stecken in einer kleinen Meinungsverschiedenheit darüber, wer denn nun bei WrestleMania um den WWE Titel antreten soll. McMahon beharrt dabei auf AJ Styles während Daniel Bryan der Meinung ist, dass Orton der rechtmäßige Gegner von Wyatt wäre. Am Ende des Segments einigen sie sich darauf das ganze auskämpfen zu lassen. Und so steht mit dem #1 Contendership Match der heutige Main Event fest.

- AJ Styles fängt die beiden im Backstage Bereich ab und wittert eine Verschwörung gegen ihn. Orton hatte seine Chance und trotzdem wird er wieder aufgestellt. Er hat keine Angst vor ihm und wird ihn heute im Match zerstören. WrestleMania wird Phenomenal.

Mixed Tag Team Match
John Cena & Nikki Bella besiegen Carmella & James Ellsworth via Submission nach dem beide einen STF ansetzten (7:06)

- Nach dem Match werden Cena und Bella von Miz und Maryse hinterrücks attackiert und die beiden prahlen über ihre perfekte Liebe während Cena und Bella nur ein paar zum Zweck wären.

- Nun sehen wir Curt Hawkins im Ring. Er ist aufgebracht über die Attacke von Dean Ambrose aus der letzten Woche und fordert ihn heraus ihm von Angesicht zu Angesicht gegenüber zu stehen. Ambrose kommt daraufhin hinaus, clotheslined Hawkins und macht sich dann auf den Weg in den Ring um ein weiteres Mal Baron Corbin herauszufordern. Dieser erscheint aber wieder nur auf der Leinwand und macht klar, dass nur er entscheidet wann er in diesen Ring steigt und niemand anders. Ambrose macht sich daraufhin auf den Weg in den Backstage Bereich. Aber nicht ohne Curt Hawkins der sich grade wieder aufgerappelt hat einen Dirty Deeds zu verpassen.

Backstage angekommen findet Ambrose Corbin auch nach kurzer Zeit. Allerdings realisiert er dies erst, nach dem er bereits eine Stahlstange im Rücken hatte. Corbin fuhr daraufhin mit einem Gabelstapler über ihn und senkt die Gabel auf Ambrose herab. Offizielle müssen die ganze Situation auflösen und Ambrose bekommt medizinische Hilfe.

- Nun kommt Alexa Bliss in den Ring und spricht über ihre Möglichen Gegner bei WrestleMania. Naomi, Becky Lynch, Natalya. All das sind Namen die bei WrestleMania nicht neben ihr auf der Card stehen werden. Alle haben nicht ihr Niveau und sollten daher keine Chance auf den Titel erhalten. Natürlich lassen sie das nicht auf sich sitzen und so kommen zunächst Natalya und Becky Lynch heraus und machen ihren Standpunkt klar. Ein Name der überhaupt nicht gefallen ist, ist der von Mickie James. Das gefällt der Veteranin natürlich gar nicht und auch sie macht sich auf um Alexa Bliss mal ihre Meinung zu erklären. Nun ergibt sich folgende Situation. Smackdown Show, 4 Worker im Ring und es kommt der General Manager hinzu. Folge: Tag Team Match. Außerdem gibt Daniel Bryan bekannt, dass Alexa Bliss aufgrund ihrer Schwierigkeiten bei der Entscheidung einfach gegen alle Wrestlerinnen im Roster antreten wird.

Tag Team Match
Alexa Bliss & Mickie James besiegen Becky Lynch & Natalya via Pinfall nach einem German Suplex von Natalya an Lynch (12:40)

- Nach dem Match attackiert auch Mickie James ihre Tag Team Partnerinn und posiert mit dem Titel.

WWE Title #1 Contendership Match
Randy Orton besiegt AJ Styles via Pin nach dem RKO (17:42)

- Mit einem feiernden Randy Orton geht die Show off air.

[4.0] "Everything sucked except the Main Event and interviews/segments. James Ellsworth is a total joke. The finish of Cena & Bella Vs. Ellsworth & Carmella is worth watching tho. Divas tag team match was more of building heat, but it didn't get over to me tho."

[6.0] "Nothing really set this night apart outside of the Main Event as nothing new was created; instead we're brick-laying the storylines. It wasn't terrible, but based on his mic work and ring presence, I say Ellsworth has less than twelve months remaining in his shelf life. The Miz had some nice new lines but his performance was better last week even though Cena, in the end, showed him up. In the WWE, and perhaps 'real' as I don't know either, world I don't get Cena/N Bella as a couple in that she comes off as a shallow, superfulous, domineering diva ice queen while he's Mr. Make-a-Wish. Something that irked me was the, typical, favoring of a McMahon in the booking. If the plan is to have AJ face Shane at WMania, wouldn't it of made more sense if D Bryan was backing Styles and Shane backed Orton? Now what leg does AJ, the full-time competitor, have when he, next week, continues to complain about a conspiracy. Hopefully AJ beats Shane-o-Mac up next week as to place some heat on this ridiculous WMania match-up."

[8.0] "The match between AJ Styles and Randy Orton was good , nice SmackDown but not as the last week , anyway better than RAW , I'm waiting for Randy and Bray feud , probabily will be awesome , Nikki & Cena vs. Miz & Maryse also seems interesting."

[7.0] "The show this week isn't special, it's just the typical good episode where everything moves forward and the construction of Wrestlemania matches is interesting. AJ Styles vs Randy Orton is a great main event, the final minute is clever and innovative. The other two matches are nothing worth of mention, but the angles are good, with a heated Ambrose vs Corbin feud, and an always impressive Cena vs Miz."

[4.0] "Really don't understand the high ratings this week, this episode was bang average. Opening segment was a waste of time. Cena/Nikki & Miz/Maryse stuff was trash, who cares who is the better couple, terrible feud. The Women's segment was cringeworthy, the Tag match was average. Corbin & Ambrose segment was good, main event was unsurprisingly great. Can't believe I'm saying this but of the main moments, Raw was better than SD this week."

[8.0] "Another great episode of Smackdown television. Everything story progressed nicely and the opening match was aight but the post-match stuff was well done in my view given the characters involved. The Corbin/Ambrose saga still continues to be intriguing with Corbin being an even bigger douche towards Ambrose especially with the usage of the forklift. The Women's segment was dismissible and felt forced in terms of the promo work. Tag match was decent and did it's job sufficiently. The match between Styles & Orton though delivered big time and probably one of my favorite WWE TV matches in recent memory as well. (****1/2) for Styles & Orton and the show ended on an extremely high note."

[8.0] "Interspecies Match was fun. And yes, the It-Couple is awesome. Rawley vs. Ziggler seems entertaining to me, both will have something to do and Mojo will finally have his own rivalry. So Blissertation didn't turned out well for Alexa, who would've thought? Holla Tag Team Match was good and women's title scene is looking great right now. I expect Ambrose not to be pleased with what Corbin did to him on this episode. The Main Event was great! They delivered while showing that they can do much greater performance. Enjoyed the show!"

Glover wrote on 08.03.2017:

[8.0] "Somewhat filler barring the main event, but solid build nonetheless. Some VERY strong promos on this show, especially from Miz. If you include Talking Smack which had the Styles backstage segment after the main event and another Miz promo, it was a very good night for promos. The mixed tag was a fun little squash, and the women's tag was fine, although neither was more than what it needed to be. The main event, however, was great. Styles and Orton were very smart about working the match, building to spots and setting up spots only to fake out and only occasionally come back to later; AJ's finishes were protected well. The fakeout springboard RKO bait was beautiful, just so smart and something only Styles could pull off the way he did, and the finishing sequence immediately after was also really slick and smart. Great TV main event that delivered more than last week's Styles match (***3/4 to ****). Carried by promos and a single match, but with a weekly TV product that's had this many weeks to build and 3 more to go, that's not bad at all."

[5.0] "Heavy promo show for my taste, main event was awesome (***3/4), Cena and Nikki vs Carmella and Ellsworth was horrible (DUD), Miz try to save this But this was an atrocity, just horrible, womans match was good (**1/2). Save your time and watch Main event and Miz promo after Cena and Nikki vs Carmella and Ellsworth."
