WWE SmackDown Spoilers: Complete Results and Analysis for March 26

Erik BeastonMar 23, 2015

Monday night saw the final build (of substance) to this weekend's WrestleMania pay-per-view, and immediately after Raw left the USA Network airwaves, the company taped a few matches for this Thursday's SmackDown.

As advertised during Raw, the main event would pit Daniel Bryan, John Cena, Roman Reigns and Mark Henry against Seth Rollins, Big Show, Kane and Bray Wyatt in a huge Eight-Man Tag Team match.

With Reigns focused on the biggest match of his career, and Cena still recovering from an attack at the hands of Rusev, would the babyfaces be in any position to pick up a win?

What about Wyatt, who is determined to fulfill his self-proclaimed destiny of becoming the new "face of fear"? Would he be able to coexist with his Authority teammates, two of whom he has significant history with?

What else would the company have in store for fans looking for their wrestling fix as the biggest weekend in professional wrestling prepares to kick off?

Those inside the Staples Center in Los Angeles found out, and now, thanks to our friends at WrestlingInc, you can too.

Venue

  • AJ Lee and Paige cut a promo, revealing that they had put their differences aside and were prepared to defeat The Bella Twins at WrestleMania. Brie and Nikki interrupted, and a back-and-forth promo segment ensued.
  • Bryan, Henry, Cena and Reigns defeated Big Show, Kane, Rollins and Wyatt.

Analysis

The final episode of SmackDown prior to WrestleMania is always a last-gasp effort by WWE to sell the biggest event of the year to an audience questioning whether or not to purchase the show. The company utilizes strong video packages that get over the stories behind each of the event's marquee contests, splicing new matches in between to keep the viewing audience satisfied.

That appears to be the case again in 2015, with only two matches and a promo segment taped for this Thursday's show.

The main event, while rife with talent, appears to have no rhyme or reason for happening. It is simply a mix of good wrestlers having what is likely to be a good match in hopes of keeping fans tuned in rather than venturing elsewhere for entertainment.

Jimmy Uso winning a Fatal 4-Way match continues WWE's attempt to get over the tag title feud but does so in a match that has no chance of being remembered much past its conclusion.

The most interesting element of this week's show should be the promo segment involving the Divas, which the spoiler report suggests is lengthy and quite good.

After strong booking on Raw, and an even better in-ring showing from Nikki and Paige, the women are riding a wave of momentum. How do they follow up on it? Find out this Thursday when SmackDown hits the SyFy airwaves, complete with live cut-ins from WWE Axxess and Santa Clara, California, home of this year's WrestleMania.
