Randy Orton, Nick Aldis, Solo Sikoa, LA Knight Segment
Nick Aldis: Well, ladies and gentlemen, last week on SmackDown, we witnessed a number of important moments, a number of viral moments. Well, folks, I’m here to address one moment in particular. I wonder if you could figure which one that is. Now, I’ve been instructed to maintain my professionalism, and I’m a man of my word, and I’m going to do just that. And with that being said, I would like to take this opportunity to invite Randy Orton to come on down to this ring, right now.
Randy Orton: I can tell by the look in your eyes, Nick, that you took last week very, very personally. Now, here me out, you can’t expect me to believe that you didn’t see yourself eating an RKO at some time in your future, after last year, a year or so ago, the same thing happened. I paid a fine, and what did I do, Nick? I paid double on that fine in case something like last week would happen again, it happened again, and I paid in advance, and I think that we are even. The reason why I really want to speak to you, Nick, is because of the fact there is not a match on the table at WrestleMania 41 for me. Nick, this is a very important WrestleMania for me, this will be my 20th time competing at WrestleMania, and I need to this happen. I need you to do your job. I need you to make me an opponent. And I’ll guarantee you, that I’ll be in Vegas, I’ll be all warmed up ready to go, I will have my gear on, and I need you to get me a match. I don’t care what it takes. Maybe you lose the suit for the night, and you gear up, too. Whatever it is, I need my match at WrestleMania.
Nick Aldis: You think this is about money? You think it’s about $100,000? Randy, look around you, I know, you know, this company is doing record business, you’re a major part of that, and I’m very fortunate to be a part of that, and I’ve busted my ass for 20 years to make it to this company. I don’t need your money, I need your respect.
Randy Orton: You need my respect? Funny enough, Nick, you have my respect, you earned it a long time ago. But if you don’t deliver on a match for yours truly, next week at WrestleMania 41, then I can’t promise that I will apologize to Mickie James after I do what I’m going to do if I don’t get my match.
Solo Sikoa: Hey, Mr. Aldis, can you please tell Randy to get out of the ring, stop embarrassing himself? Okay, don’t nobody want to hear you crying, Randy. Oh, I’m not going to WrestleMania. Oh, I don’t have a match. Who gives a crap? It’s over for you, Randy, it’s over, do you know why? Because you’re in the past, and next week, LA Knight is going to end up in the same boat as you, in the past. Because at WrestleMania, “The Samoan Werewolf” Jacob Fatu is walking out, as the new United States Champion. And you, you, Randy, will be sitting at home all alone.
Randy Orton: I’m gonna be sitting at home all alone? That’s funny, that’s really funny. You know what I think is funnier? The fact that you had the balls, both of you, I’m talking to you, too, yeyeyeyeye, Tama Tonga, to come out here and interrupt me while I’m talking, while I’m trying to be for the first time in my career diplomatic about some business to do with WrestleMania 41, and you got the balls to interrupt me. Woah, woah, woah, the voices have been knocking for a few weeks now. And you know why they’ve been knocking? I got all this pent-up aggression. What they’re telling me now, boys, is to get your ass in this ring, and I’m going to show Seattle how to beat two Samoan boys up.
Randy punches Tama. Randy uppercuts Solo. Randy goes for The Draping DDT, but Solo gets in the way. Tama is throwing haymakers at Randy. The new Bloodline gangs up on Randy. LA Knight storms into the ring to make the save. Knight delivers a series of haymakers. All hell is breaking loose in Seattle. Knight and Orton clears the ring.
LA Knight: Again, and again and again, it’s the same damn thing with you guys. But I’ll tell you what, you speaking my name, nah-nah. You’re talking about WrestleMania, I hope your boy Jacob is watching, because what I just did, I took my name out of your mouth, and I put my fist in, YEAH! But here’s the thing, I know you didn’t get enough, I know I didn’t get enough. So, what I’m saying is, if you two can’t get it, if you got enough tingle in your loins, a little later tonight, it’s you two, it’s us two. Nick Aldis, how do you feel about that? You good with that?
Nick Aldis: I feel pretty good about that, let’s do it.
LA Knight: I think Nick Aldis just said, YEAH! Which means y’all gonna fall to The Viper and The Man They Call The Megastar, with everybody saying, LA Knight, YEAH!

Naomi Promo
Leach. Scum. Opportunist. There are so many words that describe you, Jade. But there’s one word that fits you to the core. It’s snake. Had I not pushed you off that ledge, through that windshield, I know it would have eventually been me. Once I got you out of my way, I took my rightful place as champion. Bianca and I even grew a stronger friendship. Now that you’re back, Bianca won’t even look at me. But it’s okay, because there’s no more of this fake loyalty. I’m doing what’s best for me, and I’m going to get mine. At WrestleMania, I strongly advise you to proceed with caution.
Jade Cargill Promo
Naomi, you thought you could weather the storm by ducking and dodging me? But now, the moment is here, time has run out. I’m not just angry, I’m pissed. You came at me, because you thought you knew what was best for me, you don’t. You tried to take me out, because of your own insecurities. Let me ask you at this, what happens to a star when it starts to fade? They try to steal the shine from someplace else. That’s what this is about. The glow is fading, and Naomi, you’re trying to stay relevant in any and every way, that’s what this is all about. You were jealous that I came in with so much star power, so much aura, so much glow. And this WrestleMania, I’m not a rookie anymore, I’m your biggest threat, because the storm is coming.
Cody Rhodes Segment
Cody Rhodes: You guys got me all flustered, thank you very much, Seattle, you’ve always been good to me, whether it’s this sold-out area here tonight or when I did Defy, and now back here again, thank you very much. Now, this is the tangible definition of realized potential, it’s the denotation of excellence, the metric that stands. This right here simply says, you are the best wrestler in the world. And I’m blessed, I’m blessed to be able to carry this mighty weight, but it won’t always be me. That’s what this has become, that’s what WrestleMania has turn into. It’s not just a match between two anymore, it’s about our right to keep this at home. It’s about the next 20 champions, whether that’s Shawn’s NXT kids watching WrestleMania intently or ID prospects. Maybe there’s a young man here in Seattle that wants to grow up, and wear this as the WWE Champion. It’s about the next 20 champions. And there is one man trying to take all of that away, John Cena. John Cena has neglected to make Seattle part of his farewell tour. He has opted to be in Vegas for SmackDown next week. It would be cowardness on my part to rebuttal John’s remarks from when we shared the ring in London.
But one thing he said that sticks with me, he referred to me, and the placement of my tattoo, he said, me having this tattoo makes me a common fan. So what? I have this tattoo for the same reason that I wear this suit. It’s not because I think I’m somebody, it’s because I want to be somebody. Is that somebody who could sell out the World’s Most Famous Arena 188 times, to the rhythmic chants of his own name? Is that somebody who could sit up each and every night, even with broken ribs and become WWE’s phenom? Is that somebody who can set the world ablaze with Latino Heat? Or is that somebody who can carry a company on his back, through good times and bad, for 10 years? John Cena looks at this, and consider it a bad thing, I don’t. I see it’s a man that’s trying to break the wheel, a man who’s trying to find himself. Does that sound familiar? John, you’ve told me that I don’t know who I am, I don’t present myself authentically. Here’s what I do know, John, I am the WWE Champion, and you are not. John is always teaching, John is always preaching, maybe this is the one time in my life that I could teach John Cena a lesson, a lesson that my old man struggled with as a career babyface, and it’s very simple.
John, they are allowed to love somebody else. Hell, I call myself the captain here, but I’m part of a roster that has CM Punk, Randy Orton, Jey Uso, Rhea Ripley, Liv Morgan, AJ Styles, Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn, just to name a few. We make each other better. And now I found myself with the unenviable task, but it’s in my nature to want this task. That I have to halt history with your record setting title win, so that we can have history here in the first place. John Cena is a man of his word. He said he’s leaving; he means it. He says he means to take this with him, he means it. So, let me share some honesty with you, John. I’ll tell you the same thing that I told Brock, the same thing I told Roman, I do my best work when I’m backed into a corner. I don’t flinch, I fight, I wrestle. That’s right, John, the bell is going to ring. And when it does, and this is over, I leave you to this ring, John, to have your moment, your moment to say goodbye. It would be clever for me to tell John, your time is up, and my time is now, but John, you’ve known your time has been up for quite some time, and that’s why you did what you did. And one day my time will be up, but until then, this is timeless, and this stays home, this stays with us.
– Next week on SmackDown, John Cena returns. We’ll have the 2025 Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal. The Secret Hervice will battle Zelina Vega, Katana Chance and Kayden Carter. Plus, The Street Profits put their WWE Tag Team Titles on the line against The Motor City Machine Guns.
– Byron Saxton had a backstage interview with The Street Profits. How are they feeling about their big showdown with The Motor City Machine Guns next week? It’s WrestleMania week. They saw the video MCMG made about how they don’t care about the gold and the reality shows, why are you worried about things you don’t have? Angelo Dawkins wants the IWC Glazers to save their congratulations, because The Profits still run this tag team division. The Miz & Carmelo Hayes take exception to that comment. Melo calls Miz a true road warrior. Miz says that it’s a joke that The Profits are running this tag team division. The fact those titles are not on the WrestleMania card is a slap in the face to every superstar that’s held those titles before, like The Miz. Miz is a former 9x Tag Team Champion. Melo Don’t Miz are putting The Profits on notice, and they want the smoke.
