WWE Friday Night SmackDown Results
April 10, 2020
Orlando, Florida (WWE Performance Center)
Commentary: Michael Cole and Corey Graves
Results by: Roy Nemer of Wrestleview.com

WWE SmackDown kicks off with Braun Strowman walking down to the ring with the Universal championship. They air clips of the Universal championship match from WrestleMania.

Strowman says there’s an old saying. When opportunity knocks on the door, you answer it. And at WrestleMania, he did more than answer it. He took everything Goldberg had to dish out. Strowman says he refused to stay down. He got up and put Goldberg down for good and now he is the new Universal champion. As he is talking, Shinsuke Nakamura’s song hits.

He gets in the ring as Nakamura tells him that when opportunity knocks, you better open the door. Nakamura says knock, knock. Nakamura says he is suppoised to say who is there. Nakamura says he is here, knocking on Strowman’s door. He heard Strowman talk about his WrestleMania moment. But the last time they saw him, they beat him.

The two are face to face as Strowman says no one tuned in to SmackDown to hear him run his mouth. He should let him enjoy his night at Universal champion as he knocks the crap out of him. Nakamura says he reminds him of an old Japanese proverb. The weak are the meat and the strong eat.

Strowman says later tonight, Nakamura is going to get these hands. He turns around and Cesaro gets in the ring as Strowman pushes him to the outside of the ring. Nakamura kicks Strowman in the head and leaves the ring.
