WWE SmackDown Results, Live Updates, Highlights & Commentary online (2nd April 2019)

The road to WrestleMania is officially over. Kofi Kingston stands tall at the end of the show, in what was by far the best segment on RAW or SmackDown this week. WrestleMania is less than 5 days away, and we could witness the coronation of many new champions.

Kofi Kingston's story has been an incredible one, and there hasn't been one bad moment in the build-up. The question is, can he get the job done at the grandest stage of them all? It's certainly going to be incredible to witness. Will the culmination of a 11-year journey see Kingston write his championship story?

Tune in right here this Sunday at WrestleMania to find out. Until then, it's been Rohit and we thank you very much for joining us here. We'll be around next for NXT Takeover: New York. Thank you and good night!

Kofi has had enough. He tells Bryan to shut up while he talks, and says that the more Bryan talks, the more he realizes that he knows nothing about him. He's OK with not having received a singles WWE title shot, because it's all led to this moment. He understands the mind games that Bryan plays.

He's seen Bryan tremble when Kofi is in the ring with him. Kofi vows to become WWE Champion and signs the contract. An emphatic statement from the challenger. Goosebumps.

Bryan says that he's been in his position, and that he doesn't feed off the crowd, but the crowd feeds of him. Once they're done sucking the positivity out of him, they're going to chew and spit him out.

The crowd chants "A-hole" at Bryan, but he responds by saying that's what all great truthtellers are called.

Bryan tells the crowd and Kofi not to be complacement, and is ready to spread more knowledge.

He tells them to not be a bystander in their own lives like Kofi has been in his life

The crowd isn't letting Bryan talk, and they keep chanting for Kofi and KofiMania.

Michael Cole is hosting the contract signing.

Daniel Bryan seems furious at all the Kofi Kingston chants, and tries to silence them.

It's time for the WWE Championship contract signing

Ali misses a 450 splash and Joe calmly wraps his arms around Ali, making him pass out.

Samoa Joe def. Ali

Ali goes right after Joe, but the United States champion stays calm and shoves Ali down. He shoves Ali again, but gets kicked in the face with a dropkick, sending him out. The action goes outside and Joe then throws him back in the ring. Ali hits a tornado DDT to drop him, but he isnt able to keep him down for long, that is until Ali disorients Joe with a facebuster.

Samoa Joe vs Ali

Shelton Benjamin and Nikki Cross have a hilarious interaction, with Nikki Cross urging him to bring it to her. He refuses, and she blindsides him hilariously. The ring has EC3, Jeff Hardy and Asuka left in it. Hardy hits a Twist of Fate and Asuka kicks EC3 in the head. EC3 is thrown out, and Asuka hugs Jeff Hardy before throwing him out. The Empress stands tall!

R-Truth is up against Andrade and he does the leg split. Carmella comes in and they do the 7 second dance break, but Karl Anderson and Zelina Vega stop things. Naomi throws Anderson out of the ropes, and the match ends in DQ. Things break down and everyone starts trhrowing one another outside the ring. DeVille and Rose go after Asuka. Otis and Mandy have a confrontation, and he begins to shake his body before being thrown outside by Shelton Benjamin! That was so funny.

Otis is tagged in and he's ragdolling EC3. He hits the caterpillar!

All competitors are either in the Women's Battle Royal or Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal. Nikki Cross and Zelina Vega start things off. She does a good job, but Lacey Evans randomly walks out. EC3 tags in and then Jeff Hardy does. Matt Hardy soon tags in and Matt hits the side effect.

An 18-person mixed tag team match is up next.

What?

Becky says that the next time she'll be seen, it'll be as the champ she always knew she was - the double champ!
