Dayton, Ohio
Commentary: Tom Phillips, Byron Saxton and Corey Graves
Results by: Roy Nemer of Wrestleview.com

Smackdown Live starts with Shane McMahon coming out to the ring. The best tag team trophy is in the ring. Shane calls for the ring announcer to get into the ring and he whispers something to him. The announcer calls Shane McMahon the best in the world. The fans boo as Shane makes the ring announcer repeat himself two more times, telling him to say it with conviction. Shane shakes his hand as the announcer leaves the ring.

Shane says a lot of people are asking him why he attacked The Miz. Shane says he’s sick of it, he’s tired of all of the people that have ever been in his life. Not just the fans, the superstars, the thousands of WWE employees. He says people always ask him how to get a promotion, stock options. Shane says people have no idea what he does behind the scenes every day. What he can do for them and that stopped on Sunday when he attacked The Miz.

McMahon says that he’s not the best in the world because he won a trophy or because he became a tag team champion. He’s the best in the world because he was born that way. And from this point forward, he will start doing things for him. And that started on Sunday when he attacked The Miz. Shane says it was liberating and felt good attacking The Miz. McMahon challenges The Miz at Wrestlemania and leaves the ring.

Randy Orton and AJ Styles face off

Randy Orton’s music hits and he comes out. He says that this is the house that AJ Styles built? But what he doesn’t understand is that in 2002, Styles was wrestling for $10 in a high school gym while he was here making his WWE in ring debut. And in 2004, AJ Styles was shaking hands with his opponents in bingo halls while he became the youngest WWE champion ever. And in 2006, Styles was getting a tan with Dixie Carter while he was facing the Undertaker at Wrestlemania. And in 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, he was here and he was a champion. This isn’t the house that AJ Styles built. This is the house that Randy Orton built.

AJ’s music hits and he comes down to the ring. Styles tells Orton that for someone who looks down on indy’s, he did follow his career closely. He says he did come from the indy’s and he’s proud of it too. And he’s heard it said that guys like Orton weren’t made for his world, they were build for WWE. And that’s good because guys like Orton would not have made it in his world, not with a knock off Diamond Cutter.

Orton asks Styles if he or any one of his indy palls ever ripped anyone off? Orton does the too sweet sign. Styles says backstage, he is surrounded by his indy palls. They earned the right to be in WWE, they didn’t go to their fathers to get a job in WWE. Styles said in Orton’s first year, he had help with Evolution to make sure he didn’t fail. Orton said he achieved more by the age of 24 than anyone in the industry ever did. He’s a 13 time champion, he won the Royal Rumble twice, main evented Wrestlemania and performed at 15 Wrestlemania’s. No one ever had to help him.

Styles says Evolution or Legacy. Or Rated RKO, him and Edge. Did he forget? Or the Wyatt family. AJ says sounds to him that he had a lot of baby sitters. Styles says Orton is a vipor, he uses everyone around him and when he’s done, he tosses them to the curb. And that’s why he got the jump on him at WWE Fastlane, he won’t be his next victim. Orton says he won’t get to choose. As long as he wants to rent a room out in his house, he’s the land lord, and rent is due as Orton calls him a son of a bitch. And the rent can be made out to RKO.

AJ points to the Wrestlemania sign and tells Randy if he wants his rent, to come and take it. Randy Orton leaves the ring.

She doesn’t care who she has to defeat anymore because at Wrestlemania she will reclaim everything.

Charlotte Flair’s music hits. Charlotte says that first off, congratulations. Becky finally made it in her main event. Yes, the golden girl’s main event.

That’s why she was chosen, she was chosen to get the job done.

Flair asks Becky if she wants to know why the WWE universe supports her. Because they all feel sorry for her. Like she felt sorry for her, like Ronda Rousey felt sorry for her. And no matter how hard she tries to spin it, she got a hand out because never in her life has she seen someone do so little but take credit for so much. Charlotte says she will have to make Becky and Ronda relevant again. Charlotte calls herself Miss Wrestlemania.

Lynch tells her to shut up, she had the division for 4 years and did nothing. In comes Becky and now they are in the main event of Wrestlemania. They need the man, not a queen.

As they are making their way up the ramp, Vince McMahon’s music hits and he comes down to the ring.

Vince McMahon says he’s out here tonight to give Kofi Kingston an opportunity to compete at Wrestlemania for the WWE championship. Vince asks to show the clip of last Sunday from Fastlane where he spoke to the New Day and Kofi was in a handicap match against Sheamus and Cesaro.

McMahon says Kofi and the fans hear what they want to hear. He never said Kofi will be in the triple threat match. He gave Kofi a chance to compete and he failed. He does these things for a reason and what he does, is a teachable moment. The New Day’s music hits and out come Kofi Kingston, Big E and Xavier Woods.

A loud “Kofi” chant from the crowd. Big E says if he’s being honest, they’re not in the mood to be taught a damn thing. He says they are everywhere, they went to India last week for him. Woods said they never threatened to leave if they didn’t get what they wanted but they still get treated like garbage. Big E says Kofi has been in the WWE for 11 years, he deserves more. Vince says Kofi doesn’t deserve a damn thing. They don’t deserve anything, he doesn’t even deserve anything. No one deserves anything.

Big E says this is bigger than just their opinion. This is bigger than the New Day and bigger than Vince’s own ego. Vince says there is nothing justifiably bigger than his ego. Woods says Vince said that no one deserves anything but they earned. Kofi has defeated the WWE champion but for some reason he was never given his opportunity to compete for the WWE championship. And that’s only one of the many reasons Kofi deserves a match for the WWE title.

Big E says that the WWE universe has one demand. They demand that Kofi Kingston be given the opportunity to compete for the WWE championship.

A loud “Kofi” chant from the crowd. Vince says he really wishes Kofi deserves this. He tells Kofi he’s known him for a long time and if he was worthy of being in a championship match, it would have happened a long time ago. Vince says Kofi is impressive and what he’s doing as of late is awesome, incredible. One day he will be in the Hall of Fame but he won’t go in by himself. He’ll go in as part of the New Day. And he’s pretty smart, at his age, he’s got these two young bucks next to him. They do all the work and he takes the glory. Vince says Kofi has a lot of qualities and he wishes he was up to par but he’s not championship material.

Vince says he was talking to Daniel Bryan backstage and he thinks Bryan hit it on the mark. He said Kofi is awesome but he’s a good B+ player.

Kofi says that he’s not asking for a free ride, a hand out or demanding a match at Wrestlemania for the WWE title. But 11 years ago, he was a kid with a dream. And that dream has come true. He’s been able to provide for his family and travel the world. But he would like to think at some ponit during those 11 years, he’s proven to him that he’s worthy. But he doesn’t see it that way. Kofi says he doesn’t complain about anything. About how he shows up every week, busts his ass while other people are given opportunities. He doesn’t complain about that.

He doesn’t complain about how he has to be in the ring instead of with his family. He said he’s never been trick or treating with his kids. A few days ago, his son lost his first tooth but he wasn’t there because he was here in the ring. He never complained about the time he spends away or the fact that he has never allowed someone like him to compete for the WWE title.

Kofi says he never complained and he won’t start now. But what he needs is for Vince to tell him what he needs to do so that he can do it.

Kofi tells Vince that the fans believe in him.

Randy Orton’s music hits and out comes Orton. Vince says all Kofi has to do is defeat Randy Orton. Samoa Joe’s music hits. Out comes Joe. Vince says he has to beat Samoa Joe. Sheamus and Cesaro’s music hits. Vince says Kofi has to defeat them too and Rowan.

All Kofi has to do is beat them next week in a gauntlet match and Kofi Kingston will go to Wrestlemania.

Orton, Samoa Joe, Sheamus, Cesaro and Rowan all run to the ring. The New Day fight them all off.
