In the Arena:

As we settle back in from the commercial break, we hear the “King of Kings” theme by Motorhead as WWE executive Paul “Triple H” Levesque makes his way down and heads to the ring in his suit and tie with a microphone in-hand.

Hunter says as long as there is breath in his body, that never gets old. He welcomes everyone to Smackdown and says there is nothing in the world like Wrestlemania. The greatest athletes from around the world make history on the grandest stage of them all. In a place where hearts are broken and dreams are fulfilled. This year’s Wrestlemania exceeded all expectations. Millions of fans watched around the world while over 161,000 people packed SoFi Stadium over two nights to break all records. If there is a record, they broke it, including a billion views online. As great as Wrestlemania was, it is behind them. We look to the future.

Hunter says he is here to talk about the future. He asks if you are ready. Then he asks if you are READY.

In a few short weeks, it is time for the WWE draft. A night that changes the future and destiny of every superstar. The draft will be bigger than ever before. Every superstar is eligible for the draft. When it is all said and done, the draft will change the game.

Speaking of changing the game, Hunter introduces Smackdown Women’s Champion Rhea Ripley.

Rhea makes her way to the ring with Dominik Mysterio, Damian Priest, and Finn Balor. Hunter shakes hands with all members of THE Judgment Day.

Rhea says April 1, 2023 will be known as the night sports entertainment changed forever. Rhea Ripley did the impossible. She destroyed and dethroned fourteen time champion Charlotte Flair. She says it is time for everyone to rise for Mami.

Finn takes the mic and says he wants to talk about Edge. What kind of sicko has to resort to splitting his head open to get a win. Who is the real winner? Even though I got 14 staples in my head, Edge is nowhere to be seen and Finn is still standing.

Dom says at Wrestlemania, he decided not to show aggression to his dad. Rhea whispers something to Dom.

Dom can’t get a single word out for what seems like an eternity, as the fans completely drown him out with loud boos every time he attempts to speak.

After a lot of “you suck” chantes, Dom says a man who lays his hands on his own son sucks. Dom says he pulled his punches because at the end of the day, he knew he couldn’t hurt his dad. Dom says he loves Rey but he does not know if Rey can say the same thing. Dom says he saw the anger in his father’s eyes. Dom speaks in Spanish and then says he knows where the lines are drawn. As far as things are concerned, you and the rest of your family can go to hell. You can take Bad Bunny and your little friends with you.

We see what happened over the weekend and at Raw.

Priest addresses Bad Bunny and he says that Dominik his his brother. He says he hopes Bad Bunny can find it in his heart to forgive him. Priest says he has forgiven Bunny for what he did to him.

Rey Mysterio music hits and he makes his way to the ring with the LWO for their tag match. But first, we go to commercial.
