Layin' da SmackDown - SmackDown recap for February 28, 2020

Goldberg shows up to start tonight's show. He tells the fans - who are booing Goldberg - not to be mistaken, as it was not about who was last and all about who's next. Suddenly, Roman Reigns shows up. The crowd is now chanting "You both suck" as Roman tells Goldberg "I'm next."



We look back on John Cena's WWE debut from June 27, 2002.

Before the next match, Bayley says that she shouldn't be here and that she has already made history against Naomi before introducing Sasha Banks as a future multiple-Grammy winning artist.

Naomi beats Bayley by disqualification after Sasha Banks attacks Naomi. After the match, Bayley and Sasha attack Naomi, then Lacey Evans gets in the ring. This leads to a tag team brawl that is broken up by referees, and the match is restarted as a tag team match.

The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Big E) meets Josh McDaniels backstage, then encounters Dolph Ziggler and Robert Roode.



We look back at John Cena's WWE Championship win at WrestleMania 21.

Robert Roode beats Kofi Kingston. During the match, Robert Roode kicks the steel steps near Big E as Dolph Ziggler distracts the referee in order to feign getting hurt, and this gets Big E ejected from ringside. Later on, Kofi hits Roode with SOS, but Ziggler puts Roode's foot on the rope and alerts the referee. Roode then wins with a schoolkid pin on an unfocused Kofi. After the match, Sonya Deville - who has been watching the match from backstage with Mandy Rose - refers to Dolph Ziggler as "[Mandy's] man." In the locker room, Otis tells Tucker that there is something not right regarding Mandy and Ziggler and cannot put his finger on it. Tucker tells Otis that the guy doesn't always get the girl and that he should give Mandy up, and next week, they will get the love of the fans.





We look back on John Cena's match against The Rock at WrestleMania 29.

Renee Young is in the ring to moderate a contract signing for Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Braun Strowman for the WWE Intercontinental Championship at Elimination Chamber. Nakamura arrives first, followed by Strowman. As Nakamura signs the contract, Sami Zayn tells Strowman to take a seat. Strowman throws his chair out of the ring, then Sami says that the way he, Nakamura and Cesaro have been treated has been nothing more than a travesty. As Sami says that Nakamura could not even celebrate his birthday due to having nine stitches and that Nakamura is an artist, Strowman tells Sami to shut up, that everyone is tired of hearing him bitch and moan, and that it doesn't matter what is in the contract as he will have to face him, Nakamura and Cesaro simultaneously anyway. Sami takes this as a challenge and he, Nakamura and Cesaro alter the contract to make the match a 3-on-1 handicap match with the title on the line. After Sami tells Strowman he is going down, Strowman moves the table out of the way and asks Sami what makes him think he will make it to Elimination Chamber before starting a 3-on-1 brawl.



Roman Reigns vs. Goldberg for the WWE Universal Championship is made official for WrestleMania.

Drew Gulak guests on commentary for the next match.

Daniel Bryan beats Curtis Axel with the Lebell Lock.



We look back on John Cena's match with "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles for the WWE Championship at Royal Rumble 2017.

The Miz and John Morrison show up. Miz says that he and Morrison proved all the haters wrong and did what they said they were going to do, and no matter what the fans do, he and Morrison only hear the sweet sound of victory, which sounds like their "Miz and Morrison, hey hey, ho ho" chant. As Miz and Morrison continue to celebrate, a referee shows up and says something to ring announcer Greg Hamilton, who announces that Miz and Morrison will defend their titles against five teams. They will defend against The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Big E), Heavy Machinery (Tucker and Otis), The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso), the team of Robert Roode and Dolph Ziggler, and The Lucha House Party (Kalisto, Lince Dorado, Gran Metalik in an Elimination Chamber Match at Elimination Chamber. The Usos then show up for the next match.



The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso) beat The Miz and John Morrison with a top rope Canadian Destroyer followed by a top rope frog splash to Morrison.



John Cena shows up. John Cena says he will always be a WWE Superstar, then says he will be doing something different at WrestleMania, as he knows how hard Superstars work for one WrestleMania moment and prides himself on listening to the fans. Cena says he hears the fans after every show and knows that they are passionate about the future of WWE, then says he is doing the right thing, saying WrestleMania should go on without him this year. He says that this is not goodbye, but "goodbye for now," and says that he is betting on the future as WrestleMania spots should be earned and not demanded. He also says he does not know the next time he will be back. Cena then says that if he were to make such an announcement, he would like to do it in the place he calls home. He then thanks the fans. As John Cena salutes on the stage, the lights suddenly go out, then come back on. "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt is suddenly right behind John Cena, and he points at the WrestleMania sign. Cena then tips his hat at The Fiend and tells him he can't see him, then the lights go out to end the show.



Here are the top ten moments from tonight's show!
