LAST WEEK ON SMACKDOWN LIVE: SmackDown Live GM Daniel Bryan revealed that he has been finally medically cleared for in-ring competition and announced his return to the ring! He would also go on to fire Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn over their attack on Shane McMahon. As a result, Bryan was then subject to a brutal attack by Owens and Sayn!

TONIGHT: The challenger for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania, “The King of Strong Style” Shinsuke Nakamura takes on Shelton Benjamin for the first time ever in WWE!

NEXT: For Xavier Woods to retain his United States Championship at WrestleMania, he will need to outlast both Mojo Rawley and Randy Orton in a Triple Threat Match. Tonight, Xavier teams with “The Viper” to take on Mojo & Jinder Mahal!

INTERVIEW: Jinder Mahal knows that it wasn't his night two weeks ago on SmackDown Live when he lost to Randy Orton but he cannot help that WWE management hold him in high regard as he took a look at the rankings earlier tonight and saw that despite everything going on with the United States Championship, he was ranked as #1. So “The Modern Day Maharajah” made sure to take advantage of this by having WWE officials add him to the United States Title Match at WrestleMania!

Finish: Choke

INTERVIEW: A fired-up Jinder Mahal brags about single handedly defeating the United States Champion and his WrestleMania challenger.

IN THE BACKSTAGE AREA: Shinsuke Nakamura and AJ Styles want each other at their bests for WrestleMania. Nakamura wants AJ in his corner for the match tonight. AJ won’t be out there for Nakamura, he'll be there to make sure Chad Gable and Shelton Benjamin don’t get in the way of their dream match.

NEXT: Naomi and Liv Morgan aim to make a statement just 12 days before each competes in the first-ever WrestleMania Women's Battle Royal!

MATCH #4

MIDDLE CARD PROMO

Despite Shane McMahon's hospitalization after being brutalized by Kevin Owens and Zayn, Daniel Bryan proclaims that he believes Shane will be ready to be at WrestleMania. With that in mind, Bryan challenged KO and Sami to a tag match at WrestleMania. If Bryan and Shane win, then “The YEP! Movement” would remain fired. If KO and Zayn win, they would get their jobs back on the blue brand!

IN THE BACKSTAGE AREA: Shelton Benjamin isn't a rock star or an artist, he's a real athlete. Chad Gable says that they're real athletes who don’t have a match at WrestleMania. Shelton says you have to make something like that happen like two years ago when he shocked the world by winning the Royal Rumble. Although he didnt' win the WWE Championship in the main event of WrestleMania, he was never pinned or submitted and he intends to finish what he started when he turns it up against Nakamura tonight!

LAST WEEK ON SMACKDOWN LIVE: After Breezango's count out loss to The New Day at Fastlane, The New Day agreed to give Breezango a rematch for the SmackDown Tag Team Championship at WrestleMania! Later that night, The Bludgeon Brothers would pick up a dominant victory against Fandango and Tyler Breeze!
