We start the show by immediately revealing the new GM of Smackdown...

EC3 shows up. He's invested a substantial sum into the WWE recently with some extra help from his rich Aunt D, and as such was given first crack at being named the new OWNER of Smackdown. He gloats about being so rich a bit, but the gist is Smackdown is going to be very different from here on in. (61)

Benjamin & Gable d. The Ascension (62) AJ Styles approaches Orton backstage-- says he doesn't care about anything regarding the new GM, especially when "Aunt D" is involved, but wants to know what the hell-- Orton apologises and assures AJ he'll have his back if he needs him any time soon. AJ takes him at his word, for now. (79)

Liv Morgan is so happy with her Women's Battle Royal trophy. She's beaming, completely oblivious as Riott and Logan just look kinda annoyed. Becky and Charlotte enter the frame, and Becky tries to psych Charlotte up for a match with the Riott Squad to cheer her up after her loss to Asuka. Riott Squad accept they head to the ring-- Liv is delayed until Ruby yells "LIV!" (55) Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair d. The Riott Squad. Ruby shrieks at Liv for not interfering after the match as she was too busy pandering to the crowd. Liv makes a sad face and apologizes profusely. (54)

Owens and Zayn show up to EC3's office. They go in strong, asking what EC3 is going to do differently to prevent them from crippling him too. EC3 tells them to chill, says he's got no problem with them, and as a token of good faith, he'll put him in a match tonight with the tag champions for the titles! Owens and Zayn accept this peace offering happily (87)

Liv Morgan asks Ruby Riott real nicely to guard her trophy during her match with Naomi shortly. Ruby's like "yeah whatever" and hands it to Sarah Logan (46) Liv Morgan d. Naomi-- neither of the Riott Squad members pay any attention to her as "spite"(?) but she just straight up wins clean anyway. (49)

EC3 is in the ring again-- he calls out Carmella to make clear the situation. She's a Smackdown Superstar, so the Universal Title is now a Smackdown title. That's just how it is. And as such, she's going to defend it, tonight... against... E... C... 3. Carmella properly calls the this as BS abuse of his power, but says he's in for TROUBLE TROUBLE TROUBLE TROUBLE TROUBLE TROUBLE thinkin he can take her and he's gonna be the next Sin Cara when she's done with him-- the yellow one with the little mark on his boot! She starts to rip into his Aunt D and how she sucks so bad she ran an entire company into the gro-- EC3 cuts her off before she can make it too clear... says he shouldn't underestimate her-- instead it'll be a handicap match. EC3, Rusev, and Jinder vs Carmella, with EC3 winning the title if his team wins. Carmella can no longer keep her cool and shrieks that this isn't fair! (80)

Ziggler is in the ring with his broken Andre the Giant memorial trophy. He holds it up for the fans... asks them where the "you deserve it!!" chant is. They chant it, he calls them sheep, they boo. He says he's sick of that damn chant, and the idea that people deserve things. Dolph Ziggler has never gotten anything he deserved in this company, and it's all because of John Cena taking his damn spotlight-- the worst time being... cue clip of Survivor Series from YEARS AGO when he ousted the Authority. That should have been his MOMENT, but JOHN CENA took all the credit as HIS. Well now Cena got what he deserved. A beating, and being snubbed from the greatest show of them all... Wrestlemania. Oh, and this stupid ass participation award trophy WWE can stick it. He discards the Andre Trophy. (85)
