WWE Smackdown Results – April 2, 2019

We are live from the Royal Farms Arena in Baltimore, Maryland, and Kevin Owens is in the ring for the Kevin Owens Show.

Kevin welcomes everyone. He says we are five days away from Wrestlemania and each of his opponents will try to continue their respective legacy. Kevin brings Randy Orton out first and then Randy’s opponent, AJ Styles.

Kevin says that everyone was looking forward to Kurt Angle’s match against AJ Styles, but you did not let that happen. Kevin says he sees the smirk on Randy’s face and Kevin asks if Randy is proud of what he did. Randy says he is proud. He says he saved the WWE Universe from seeing a broken down guy from beating a man who thinks he is on the top of his game. He also saved everyone from watching the match.

AJ points out that Randy has been here for almost twenty years, been in the ring with legends, and only learned one move. It might be deadly but it is only one move.

Randy says that if the move is so deadly, you only need one move. Randy says you think these indie guys have it so hard to make ends meet while they go from gymnasium and gymnasium for $50 to please dozens of people while Randy was wrestling at Wrestlemania in front of thousands of people.

AJ points out that while he was wrestling in gymnasiums, you were here in WWE, failing drug tests. Randy says the truth is if you were as good as you think you are, you would have been in the WWE a long long long time ago. Do you think your legacy is that hard work pays off? That is not your legacy. Your legacy is the role of corporate bitch since John Cena has gone to Hollywood.

Kevin gets up from the table and leaves the ring since it is time for a fight. AJ and Randy get up and AJ punches Randy and backs him into the corner.

In the Arena:

WWE Champion Daniel Bryan and Erick Rowan make their way to the ring for the big contract signing. We go to commercial.

We are back and Michael Cole is in the ring to host the contract signing. Michael brings out Daniel’s challenger, Kofi Kingston and he is joined by Xavier Woods and Big E. Michael says that Kofi requested this time but Daniel interrupts. Daniel says he has it from here. Daniel signs the contract and then he tells Kofi that he knows you are going to sign this contract and he is going to go on to face Kofi for the WWE Championship at Wrestlemania. He is not here to stop Kofi from signing, he is here to educate the masses. Daniel says this is for everybody. Daniel asks for the crowd to be quiet while he educates them.

Daniel says he is about to teach all of you an important life lesson. Just like they were saying in the back, Baltimore is so ignorant. Here is the life lesson. Do not be complacent the way that Kofi has been complacent. Don’t think that good is good enough for eleven years. Don’t think that a little success is enough for eleven years. Do not be complacent.

Daniel says he has another life lesson. He says don’t be a bystander in your own lives the way that Kofi has been a bystander in his own life. Don’t sit on the sidelines and wait for others to push you to the top the way that Kofi has been helped by Big E and Xavier Woods. You ignorant people have tried to push him to the top. Don’t be a bystander in your own life.

Daniel says has one more life lesson. Daniel tells Kofi not to mistake a fad for reality. Daniel says he was in Kofi’s same spot and your shoes. The way they chanted Yes for him is the same way they chant Kofi for you. Daniel says he knows how it feels and how it reverberates in your body. This adoration makes you feel stronger. You don’t feed off of them, they feed off of you. They are parasites. They need you to fulfill whatever fantasy they have in their lives. Once they suck the positivity out of you, they will discard you.

Daniel says he wants Kofi to suck all of this in because this is going to be the best it will ever be for you… Kofi takes the contract and he says we have had to listen to you for months while you have claimed to educate us. Kofi says it is time to educate you.

You claim to be what he is and you claim to know what he is feeling. Kofi says you don’t know a damn thing about him. You became World Champion in your first two years in WWE. Kofi says he watched and observed it. Kofi says he understood it. Kofi says he watched it. Here is the thing. You don’t know me and you don’t know what he has been through. In eleven years, he never had a singles match for the title but it has led to this. Kofi says he can see it in Daniel’s eyes and he knows from the mind games that Daniel is trying to play, that he knows that Kofi is ready. The one thing they have in common to this story is that you know what all of this feels like and you are scared as hell. You should be because you know what comes next. At Wrestlemania, he beats Daniel and he becomes the WWE Champion.

Kofi signs the contract and the match is official. Bryan looks on, still sitting in his chair. The New Day’s music hits as they celebrate Kofi’s opportunity. Rowan stands next to Bryan, watching. Kofi continues staring Bryan down as Woods and Big E play to the crowd. The final SmackDown before WrestleMania 35 goes off the air with Bryan getting up from his chair to face off with Kofi.
