– As the show goes on air, Cody Rhodes runs into Nick Aldis in the parking lot. Aldis tells Cody that Pat McAfee is not here yet, but he’s on his way. Aldis knows what’s going through Cody’s mind and what he wants, but he’s not to put his hands on Pat McAfee under any circumstances. Cody asks Aldis who’s he taking orders from? Aldis says that it’s coming from above him and Cody knows what that means. Jelly Roll joins the conversation. He’s also looking for Randy Orton and Pat McAfee. Aldis tells Jelly to not engage given the potential injury risk heading into the Night One WrestleMania main event, Aldis is subtly being told to put everybody in bubble wrap before Mania. Jelly says that this match is not about him or Pat McAfee, it’s about Randy Orton, it’s about 20 years of friendship and betrayal, and it’s about the Undisputed WWE Championship. Jelly is trying to remind Cody that he’s fighting for more than just himself this year, it’s not only about his story, but there’s also so much more to it. Jelly pats Cody on the shoulder and tells him to chew on that.

Rhea Ripley, Iyo Sky, Nick Aldis Segment 

Rhea Ripley: Congratulations, Jade, you finally used your brain for something, and you managed to find my one and only weakness. So now, now it’s not about physique, it’s not about titles, because you made this real personal. You done it, you attacked my Iyo, so now I’m gonna need you to come out here, so I can whoop your ass. Come on.

– Iyo Sky walks down to the ring.

Iyo Sky: I know you are angry, Rhea, so am I. Jade attacked me. I know you will get Jade at WrestleMania, but I want to face her, tonight.

Rhea Ripley: Iyo, look, I trust you, I really do, but you’re not 100% after Monday. Are you sure this is exactly what you want? I can deal with it. I can handle it.

Iyo Sky: I’m sure, I’m sure. I will talk to Nick Aldis if I have to. I want Jade, tonight.

Nick Aldis: Iyo, Iyo, let me save you the conversation, because I had something else in mind, but I never let a good idea pass me by. So, you got it, tonight, San Jose, you get Iyo Sky versus Jade Cargill in the main event of SmackDown.

– Tomorrow Night on WWE’s YouTube Channel, PENTA will put his WWE Intercontinental Championship on the line against El Hijo Del Vikingo.

– We see Matt Cardona talking to Carmelo Hayes in the trainer’s room. Cardona has been in Melo’s place before. Cardona tells Melo that it’s going to be awhile before he gets his WrestleMania moment, but when he does, it’s going to be worth it. Cardona tells Melo to hang in there. Trick Williams appears with Lil Yachty. All history aside, Trick thought that Melo was going to win last week. Melo is not trying to hear all that, because Trick is the part of the reason why he lost the United States Championship to begin with, and Sami Zayn suddenly wants to be an opportunist and take away his opportunity getting his title back going into WrestleMania. Melo tells Trick to get out of his face with all that, he has to rehab his knee. Lil Yachty says that there’s good news, Melo can watch Trick become the US Champion at WrestleMania on the couch.

Yachty continues to chime in and says that Trick can whoop Matt Cardona, tonight. Cardona likes the sound of that; he’s gonna talk with Nick Aldis to make that match official.

Drew McIntyre Promo 

You’re not a victim, Jacob, no. You’re a failure. You’re a failure as a man, and you’re a failure as a father. Tonight, we’re in San Jose in your hometown, and I know so many of your family are probably there tonight. And I bet it’s been nice to having Jacob with you these past few years, but you’re probably more familiar seeing him right here. You’re not an inspiration. This cell represents who you are, and who you’ll always will be, a convict. You talk about me taking food off your family’s table, look in the mirror, man. It was you. You did that when you chose a life of crime over your own blood, over feeding your starving children. They needed a provider, they needed a father, you gave them a walking mugshot. You’ll never change, because all you do is steal. You don’t belong in WWE, you don’t belong in my home, you belong in this cage, because you’re an animal. Unsanctioned, WrestleMania, I will beat you within an inch of your life. And then you’re gonna screw up again, because it’s in your nature, and you’re gonna end up right back in here. The system didn’t fail you, the system failed me. They let you out of this place, and you did what you do, you stole my title, you stole my main event at WrestleMania, you stole everything from me. Jacob is a liability to everybody, and I’m the one that’s gonna make it right. At WrestleMania, Jacob, I’m gonna be your judge, I’m gonna be your jury, at WrestleMania, I’m gonna be your damn executioner.

– Cathy Kelley had a backstage interview with Jacob Fatu. What’s his immediate reaction to those cutting words from Drew McIntyre? Just to tap in really quick, we’re live and direct in San Jose, The Bay Area. Before Jacob can deliver his response to Drew McIntyre, he gets caught off by Solo Sikoa and The MFT’s. What is Drew McIntyre going to find out? Solo says that Jacob is not the only one who has family in The Bay Area, but that’s not the problem. The problem is every time Drew McIntyre or anyone brings up your past, it just makes our family look bad, and it’s a big embarrassment. Jacob tells Solo that we’re not doing this today, but they can run this back on the other side of WrestleMania. Isn’t this the same spot where Jacob got his teeth knocked out? Does anybody know who did it? Solo says that it would be a damn shame if that were to happen again, ain’t that right, Tama Tonga? Tama tells Jacob that he knows what it is. Solo says that he’s gonna talk with Nick Aldis, and Tama won’t mind taking care of business tonight.

– Pat McAfee has arrived to the SAP Center in a Blue Ram Truck. He’s immediately greeted by Nick Aldis. Nick did give Cody Rhodes and Jelly Roll the edict that no one from WWE are allowed to put their hands on Pat McAfee under any circumstances. Pat tells Nick to pick his chin up, it’s WrestleMania season. Pat puts his keys in Nick’s suit pocket, acting as if he’s going to park his truck. Pat gets confronted by Jelly Roll. Did Pat tell Randy to drop Jelly with an RKO? Pat told Randy to kill everybody, but Jelly shouldn’t have been getting in between Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton in the first place. Jelly knows that, but neither should Pat, so why is he here? Pat says that it’s a lot bigger than Jelly can imagine, he’s an outsider, he’s not supposed to be part of their business, he would never know. Jelly says that someone is going to eventually check Pat McAfee. Pat says that would be a bad decision, especially with Randy Orton around. Jelly says that he has no problem checking Pat, right now. Pat says that’s a very bad idea. Jelly shoves Pat against the wall and ask what’s wrong with him. Nick tries to play peacemaker, but Jelly shoves him as well. Jelly says that he doesn’t work here. Pat knows that and tells him to get one. Pat asks Foreign Adam Pearce if he could escort this ex-convict out of the arena. Pat says that he has to save the business with Randy Orton.

– Undefeated Zuffa Lightweight Boxer Tony Hirsch Jr. is in the house tonight.

– Cathy Kelley had a backstage interview with Royce Keys. How meaningful is it that Royce got to make his SmackDown debut in a town that’s 20 minutes away from where he got his start in professional wrestling? Royce says that this has been a long time coming. He was excited to debut in front of his people in The Bay Arena, and now he can do that in front of the whole world. Solo Sikoa joins the conversation. Solo says that Royce did a good job tonight. But he runs things here on SmackDown, and if there’s anything that Royce needs, his door is always open.

Cody Rhodes, Randy Orton, Pat McAfee, Jelly Roll Segment 

Pat McAfee: Cut the music, truck. San Jose, what a shit hole. It’s crazy that you boo me, I’m the hero in this entire thing. You cheer for these spineless bums like CM Punk. Did you like what he had to say on Monday when he called me Pat MAGAfee? See, for me, an adult with a brain, it’s hard to take seriously, because as CM Punk was talking the other night about a lot of people that are a lot more important, a lot more famous, an a lot more in shape than he is, it was hard for me to get past the fact that he was wearing a WWE officially licensed CM Punk Jacket. Underneath that, was a WWE officially licensed t-shirt from WWEShop.com. He’s got 283 things for sale to all of you, and I wonder to myself, when that TKO merch check comes through, which account does it go to? Does it go to the needy wrestling family who can’t afford WrestleMania Tickets or just simple question, and I have a sneaky suspicion that money from the TKO Merch Account goes right into the bank account entitled, I’m sorry, Saudi Arabia?

He’s a fraud. Like a politician, all talk, no action. A man who has the opportunity to change things, but he gets into a room, and he sits down, gets on his stomach and rolls over like the little bitch he is. Me, I’m a man of action, I’m an agent of change. Everything that he says he is, I actually am. And when he mentioned that the ticket prices are were too way, especially when sloppy, fat, bag of bones CM Punk is one of the main eventers, I couldn’t help but agree with him. If it wasn’t for Randy Orton, why would anybody want to spend their money to watch WrestleMania? So, I decided to be your hero, you scumbags. Hey, fatso, shut your mouth or I’ll come smack the left side of your face into the right side of your face. Even though none of you disgusting bums deserve it, I decided to help you out. I called Ram Trucks, the official sponsor of WrestleMania, and I said, hey, Ram Trucks, do you want to help wrestling fans and sports entertainment fans get to WrestleMania?

They said, absolutely, so I asked them, why don’t you pick up 25% of the bill for anybody that buys a WrestleMania Saturday Night Ticket from this moment till the end of Monday Night Raw? They said, no problem, 25% off all tickets to WrestleMania Saturday Night, from now until Monday Night Raw. You can thank me, San Jose. Now, WrestleMania Sunday Night, ass. I wouldn’t recommend anybody spend money on that, but Saturday Night, 25% off to see a once in a century night in all of sports, Randy Orton is going to save this business while winning his 15th World Title. Have you guys ever won a Stanley Cup here in San Jose? Holy shit, never? Oh, wow, ass, like the rest of this city. Randy will be a 15-Time World Champion in Las Vegas, after he absolutely demoralizes and pummels the puppet that is the current champion of SmackDown.

Cody Rhodes: Pat, I’m gonna out on a limb here and just say, I don’t think you belong here. You know, listen, and I know that I can’t touch you, but why don’t we get you a Fanatics Replica Title, they look just like the real thing, we’ll go back there, you can go there, you can pick any WWE Superstar that you want, you can do their entrance, guy in the truck will give you pyro, you could live you superstar experience. And then you can go back to whoever sent you here, whoever injected you here, and then you can tell them, thank you, Daddy. There’s this crazy old term in pro wrestling where somebody says, he’s a play wrestler, and I didn’t think I knew what that meant. I didn’t know what it meant, until last week, when I was gasping for air underneath a 280-pound Randy Orton choking me with a steel chair, and you’re standing here and you’re doing catchphrases and you’re talking about The Attitude Era.

Hey, bud, that was 30 years ago. Randy Orton debuted in 2002. He watched The Attitude Era in High School, so I don’t expect you to know what a play wrestler really means, and I also don’t expect you to know this. There’s an old wrestling promoter who was very good at his job, his name was Paul Boesch, and you go on your show this past week, and you talked about the fans, the IWC, you said the word marks, all the buzz words. You talked about making the business great again, right? You know what he used to say to people who call people, marks, he would say, they’re not marks, they’re customers. And when you grow up and everything you have is because of said customers, when it’s your family’s life work, when you’re a multi-generational wrestler, happy as can be to be in this spot that I am in, they’re not even customers.

Every single one of them, whether it’s the collector at the airport with 70 pops and dirt under his fingernails, whether it’s this cool kid right there in that jacket, whether it’s this group over here, that kid, that father, they’re not customers to me, they are family. And Pat, you have a gift, and it’s not that kick, and that’s a gift, too. You have a gift, for the centuries that pro wrestling has been around, they have never agreed on anything expect what I’m about to tell you. For the first time ever, the entire fandom of what we do agrees on the fact that, at WrestleMania, they want to see Randy Orton and they do not want to see Pat McAfee. Go. Home. Pat.

Pat McAfee: I am home, you dumb fucks. I was born to be in this business, you were born into business, Silver Spooned, Gorilla’s Golden Boy. And all I see is the fakest dude on earth. Spray tanned, dyed hair, fake teeth, lypsy lips, and a $10,000 suit that you think makes you look good, because Ric Flair said it’s the right thing to do. You’re a cosplay champion, and one that I am going to rid the WWE Universe alongside with Randy Orton. And Cody, I have a message for you and your inbred family here, if Randy Orton doesn’t walk out of WrestleMania as a 15-Time World Champion, you will never see or hear from me in this business, ever again.

Cody Rhodes: Hey, Pat, why don’t you take your shades off, pal. Yeah, or wait, are you too high to remember that you were standing on that table, for the last three years, YEETING your brain out. Oh, god, you must really hate this place. And what was it you said? Oh, you’re tired? Oh, Pat’s tired? You want to take a nap, Pat? You want to take a nap? Good, let’s get GUNTHER out here to put your ass to sleep, once and for all.

Pat McAfee: Where are you going, Cody? Hey, Cody, you’ve always been an elite run-away artist, huh, Stardust? Where you going, Cody, you going to suck Triple H’s ass, so you can get a little bit more of an opportunity, politic a little bit, you politician bum? Get nice and deep into Paul Levesque’s ass cheeks. Come on, Cody. Come back and dance a bit for the stupid kid over here. Come on, Cody.

Randy Orton: Cody, Cody, Cody. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Cody, Cody, hey, hey, do I have your attention now? Okay, good, maybe, just maybe you’re forgetting something. Look what we got here, I think that you need to come get your boy. No, wait, hold that thought, on second thought, I’m going to bring your boy directly to you.

Sami Zayn, Trick Williams, Lil Yachty Segment 

Sami Zayn: Okay, interesting reaction. Maybe it’s about time we nip this in the bud, and we talk about it once and for all, because I’m not deaf, I hear what’s going on. And I feel the winds of change kind of blowing, and I feel like that’s all that’s been going on for the last few months, everywhere I go, everyone is talking about change, even my close friends. I talk to Cody Rhodes, and what does he tell me, maybe you need to change if you want to get further ahead. And I talk to Randy Orton, and he says, you know, maybe you need to change, you need to be a little more cutthroat if you want to get ahead. And then I come out here, and by the sound of it, it sounds like some of you want to see some change as well.

Here’s what you need to understand about Sami Zayn, okay. My entire career, I have strived to give you something more, something more than a hot t-shirt or a hot catchphrase or a viral moment. I’ve always tried to give you something more. I’ve always tried to give you myself. I have given you something real, my heart, my mind, my soul. And I know, yes, I’m not dumb, there’s some people booing, I get that. But I know for a fact, there’s a lot of people here that that still means something to them, and those are the fans that I care about. When I meet kids and they’re crying and they tell me they look up to me, that’s who I care about. When I meet fans and they tell me that my stuff got them through the hardest time in their life, that’s who I care about. The fans in California, that have had my back since day one, that’s who I care about, that’s who I do this for.

And I will never betray myself, because that would be betraying you, and I will not do that, because I love you. I love you and I will never change until I’m dead in the ground. And now, for the rest, for the ones that are booing, I got to be honest, I don’t even know what I did. Does anyone know? What did I actually do? But here’s the thing, stop, it’s okay, because I actually don’t care, I don’t. The moment I realize that my fans, my true fans, my ride or die fans, the ones in here, where are you? Ride or die Sami Zayn fans, I know you’re in the house, and I know you’re watching at home. My fans, the second I realized my fans would always have my back no matter what, man, all the pressure is off, all the anxiety is gone, all the moppiness over these last couple of months is done. So, whether you like it or whether you don’t like it, one way or the other, in nine days, I’m walking into WrestleMania as a champ, and I will walk out of WrestleMania as a champ.

Trick Williams: Hey, yo, Yachty, you know what I think?

Lil Yachty: What’s that?

Trick Williams: & Lil Yachty: I think the people are tired of hearing Sami Zayn talk. We’re talking about Mr. Always Crying (Whining), Breath Funky (Like A Donkey), Can’t Get The Job Done, Zayn. And the truth is, the idea of having my first WrestleMania match with you makes me want to wash my hands with mouthwash and beating the hell out of you. Because we all know the truth, Sami Zayn, the truth is, you hate Trick Willy. Since the first time you saw Trick Willy, you couldn’t stand me, you couldn’t stand this sauce, this flavor. You think that I don’t deserve these opportunities. I didn’t spend 20 years to get to this spotlight like everybody else, and that may be the truth, but it’s also true that they call me, The Anointed One, and favor ain’t fair. So, whether you like it or you hate it, it don’t make me ever mind, I’m going to beat your ass at WrestleMania, let’s talk about it. Because everybody loves Trick Williams.

Sami Zayn: You see, Trick, that’s where I disagree, I don’t think they love you. Love takes a real long time to build. You’ve been here, what, six months, if that. I think they like you, I think they have a crush on you, I think they’re infatuated by you, and why wouldn’t they be, I get it. You’re charming, you walk the walk, you got Lil Yachty, you dress like a 1970’s New York Pimp, what’s not to like? But here’s the thing, Trick. Hey, look me in the eyes, and take those damn glasses off when I’m talking to you. Understand something, you can make all the jokes you want about Gingerbread, Ginger Man, Ginger Ale, at the end of the day, you are in the ring at WrestleMania with a WrestleMania Main Eventer. And I am going to drag you into deep waters, Trick. Everybody is saying that you’re the future, you haven’t showed me anything. At WrestleMania, we’re gonna find out real quick if you can walk the walk or you’re just talk.

Lil Yachty: Ah, Sami Zayn, you sound like a hater. I’m going to tell you right now, truth to be told, no matter what, you can take away the coat, you can take away that amazing entrance music, but it don’t matter. You can take away a brother’s, no, you can’t take away a brother’s Lemon Pepper Steppers, but more the fact is, those things don’t make Trick Williams, Trick Williams. Trick Williams makes Trick Williams. Next week, at WrestleMania, there will be a new United States Champion, and his name is Trick Williams. Now, let’s talk about it.
