Smackdown Live April Week 4 2018:

We start off the show with EC3 in the ring... he calls out Carmella, and says he'll be facing her at the upcoming Backlash PPV at Hell... in a CELL. Carmella comes out, points out he can't do that and shows the 10 second clip from Raw. EC3 flips out in disbelief and storms to the back. Carmella gloats a bit, says that she'll be a fighting champion, much like her predecessor the great Brock Lesnar, and that she'll see everyone at Summerslam. (84)

A redebuting Chavo Guerrero Jr is in the ring, talking about how he and Aunt Dee go way back and how EC3 hired him because of that, and how EC3 is such a great GM he even gave him a US Title Match! He calls out Rusev! Rusev comes out. (68) Rusev CRUSH Chavo Guerrero Jr to retain. (68)

We see EC3 backstage, thumbing through some tome looking thing, looking upset. MVP shows up with Mark Henry, says he wanted to bring back the DRAFT tonight, it's gonna be so hype. He gives him a list of proposed moves and that he'd like EC3 to look em over and sign the agreement if he thinks they're fair. EC3 is clearly not interested, says he needs to go and asks if MVP can handle SD for the night, and just signs the paper blindly as he walks off screen, phone in hand. (87)

Bludgeon Bros d. The Ascension easily as The New Day are on commentary for the match talking about how they want to get back into the tag title hunt (58) Disco Inferno(??) randomly comes to the ring after the match to the Ascension. He says he sees potential in the team, but they lack direction! He offers his services as a manager, so they too can become legends like himself. The Ascension are unclear of who he even is as The New Day flip out on commentary as though Disco Inferno were The Rock or something. (53)

MVP is in the ring, announces that Carmella WILL be defending the title at Backlash as he's made a number one contenders match for tonight between Orton, Rusev, Kevin Owens, and Shinsuke Nakamura, but more importantly that THE DRAFT has begun, and we'll get the draft picks revealed over the course of the show! We get the fancy graphic from the drafts of yore a few times where the wrestlers cycle through the screen and it ends with _____ HAS GONE TO RAW/SMACKDOWN, even though they've all been decided previously and this is EMPTY HYPE~. We see that the following moves have been made. Thew New Day have gone to Raw. Sheamus, Cesaro, and Elias have gone to Smackdown. New Day, still at ringside, ask WHAT THIS COULD MEAN FOR THE WWE UNIVERSE!?? More to come! New Day leave. (69)

The Riott Squad (Sarah Logan and Ruby Riott) vs Charlotte Flair and Asuka in a random match. Liv is not ringside. Asuka starts the match, has things in hand-- Charlotte tags herself in breaking Asuka's momentum, argues with Asuka, nearly gets rolled up before Asuka breaks the count. Asuka tags herself back in, shouts at Charlotte, dominates Logan, wins the match. (61) Competitors still in the ring, Liv Morgan comes out with her trophy, says she was told to come out to announce draft picks. We see the following picks: Randy Orton, Asuka, and Sarah Logan to Raw. Finn Balor, Mickie James, and Bayley to Smackdown. The Riott Squad yell at Liv like it's her fault for sending Logan to Raw. Asuka looks hyped. (60)
