Last week of SmackDown was quite good, as is every other episode of SmackDown. It's been a while since I did a preview for SmackDown Live, but we'll be bringing it back going forward!
Last week, the show began with a Money in the Bank rematch, where Kofi Kingston defeated Kevin Owens in a non-title bout. Smackdown Tag Team Champions Daniel Bryan & Rowan were confronted by their first challengers - Heavy Machinery.
Mandy Rose got an unsurprising controversial win over Carmella, while Shane McMahon appreciation night was ruined by the chaos of the 24/7 title. It allowed Elias to win his first title in WWE, but after the main event (featuring Roman Reigns & R-Truth against Elias & Drew McIntyre), Reigns helped Truth become a 2-time Champion. (He's since become a 3-time champion).

Bayley defeated Lacey Evans by the skin of her teeth and Evans and Charlotte Flair imploded, with their brief alliance ending. With an exciting go-home Smackdown before Super ShowDown, here's what to expect!
#5. Lars Sullivan exclusive interview
Lars Sullivan hasn't said much since he's come to WWE. Even at NXT, he wasn't much of a talker, but more of a destroyer. For the past two months in WWE, that's exactly what he's been - a destroyer.
Taking advantage of the "Wildcard" Rule, Sullivan wasted no opportunity to wreak havoc on both shows. His recent target has been the Lucha House Party trio of Kalisto, Lince Dorado and Gran Metalik.
He's set to face them in a 3-on-1 handicap match at Super ShowDown, one that he's expected to handily win. But for the first time, we will get an in-depth interview with Sullivan, who might finally reveal what his intentions are.
What will the controversial superstar have to say?
#4. "A Moment of Bliss" with Bayley
Alexa Bliss returns to SmackDown for the first time in over two months to host a Moment of Bliss with SmackDown Women's Champion Bayley. We're quite excited about this, especially looking at Alexa Bliss' change in attitude.
It seems as though her alliance with Nikki Cross has made her change her attitude drastically, with her seemingly being a babyface now. Either way, she's not going to have it easy on her blue brand return.
Two years ago, it was Alexa Bliss who humiliated Bayley and took the RAW Women's title from her during her first dream run. It was only a few weeks ago when Bayley finally got her redemption, winning the MITB briefcase and then becoming SmackDown Women's Champion.
As if Bliss hasn't had a hard enough time getting along with RAW Women's Champion Becky Lynch, Bayley will be anything but friendly to The Goddess. Will tensions boil over?
#3. Kofi Kingston and Dolph Ziggler set for one final confrontation
Last week, Kofi Kingston faced Kevin Owens in a MITB rematch, but this time, there was no title on the line. While he didn't have a confrontation with Dolph Ziggler then, he did have one the prior night on RAW, with the Wild Card rule being in full effect (seriously though, why?).
Ziggler presented himself as an unexpected contender for the WWE Championship, but it's not the first time that we've seen The Showoff in this position. He's been in big-time World title matches multiple times before, though he hasn't been in one in front of this many people.
As Kofi Kingston is set to renew his old-time rivalry with Ziggler this Friday at Super ShowDown, it seems inevitable that the two are going to clash on SmackDown Live. There are going to be few words spoken and more action taken.
#2. Roman Reigns looks for revenge
On RAW, Roman Reigns appeared to team up with The Usos to take on Drew McIntyre and The Revival. Of course, as soon as he opened his mouth, Shane McMahon wasted no time in coming out and Drew McIntyre was out with him.
The match was going in favour of Reigns and his two cousins, but interference from Shane McMahon saw Drew McIntyre take out Roman Reigns, with his team ultimately losing. However, the punishment wouldn't end there for The Big Dog.
He would be subject of a Shatter Machine and a Claymore Kick, with Shane McMahon making a clear statement heading into their match on Friday.
Roman Reigns also revealed that he will be taking on Drew McIntyre at Stomping Grounds, but before that, he'll try to get one over Shane McMahon and Drew McIntyre on SmackDown Live.
#1. Goldberg returns
April 3rd, 2017. That was the last time we saw Goldberg on WWE television. It was the RAW after WrestleMania 33 and post-show when he came out to cut a heartfelt promo to the WWE Universe.
While he did say it was only goodbye for "now" at the time, it seemed as though it was the last we saw of Goldberg. After all, he had a dream comeback run and got to show his son the superhero that he once was.
With a World title win and a WrestleMania classic under his belt, it was time to say goodbye and a Hall of Fame induction the next year seemingly confirmed it.
But what do you know? It took a Saudi Arabia show to bring Goldberg back and for the first time, he'll be appearing on SmackDown and making his debut for the blue brand. The Undertaker engaged in a war of words last night on RAW, so how will Goldberg respond?
