London, England – The March 28th edition of SmackDown delivered a night of shocking twists, brutal battles, and a WrestleMania contract signing that will be talked about for weeks to come. The show opened with the main event, a WrestleMania contract signing featuring Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, and a surprise appearance by CM Punk! The atmosphere was electric, the tension palpable. While the specifics of the contract remained shrouded in mystery, the emotional exchanges between the three titans left fans breathless. The segment ended in chaos, with a brawl that spilled into the crowd, leaving the actual signing unresolved and setting the stage for a potentially explosive WrestleMania showdown.
But the night was far from over. Randy Orton, looking more menacing than ever, laid out his plans for Cody Rhodes, hinting at a deeply personal vendetta. This declaration ignited a fiery match between Orton and Drew McIntyre, a rematch from years past. McIntyre, however, proved too much for the Viper, escaping an RKO attempt thanks to a timely distraction from Kevin Owens, who narrowly avoided a punt to the head from Orton himself. McIntyre then sealed the win with a devastating Claymore Kick.
