Smark Out Moment

Tonight's episode of WWE SmackDown for March 12, 2019 is coming to you live from the Nutter Center in Dayton, OH. Follow along here for ongoing coverage of the results of the show to find out what happens as things occur and chat with fellow WWE fans in the comments below!

• Shane McMahon explains that he's sick and tired of everyone asking him for favors. From now on, he's doing things for himself, and since he enjoyed beating up The Miz so much, he's going to do it again at WrestleMania.
• The Hardy Boyz, Aleister Black and Ricochet vs. The Bar, Rusev and Shinsuke Nakamura ends in a no-contest with The New Day getting involved as they attack the four heels
• Randy Orton cuts a promo on how this isn't the house that AJ Styles built, it's the house HE built, as for over 10 years, he was making history in WWE while Styles was on the indies. Styles comes out and they talk trash to each other. Styles makes fun of Orton's pose and his "knockoff Diamond Cutter". Orton points out that Styles stole things too, motioning to the "too sweet" gesture. Styles points out how Orton makes fun of indie guys, but he's surrounded by them now. He says Orton has always had help (Evolution, Legacy, Authority, Wyatt Family). Orton has a great line about how its his house and rent is due. Styles challenges Orton to a match for WrestleMania.
• Asuka defeated Sonya Deville by submission
• Becky Lynch cuts a promo on how she played Ronda Rousey like a fiddle. Charlotte Flair comes out to complain. Nothing special here.
• Instead of Samoa Joe defending the United States title against R-Truth, apparently they're just doing a tag team match. Gotta love when WWE advertises something an hour before it happens and it's not the right information. R-Truth and Rey Mysterio defeated Samoa Joe and Andrade by pinfall (Mysterio pins Joe) After the match, Joe hits both R-Truth and Andrade with a ura-nage out of frustration.
• Daniel Bryan and Rowan defeated Kevin Owens and Mustafa Ali by pinfall (Rowan pins Ali)
• Vince McMahon comes out to say he does what he does because those are teachable moments. He explains that Kofi Kingston is a B+ player who just has never been championship material. After Kofi asks what he needs to do to show Vince that he's worthy of a title shot, Vince set up a gauntlet match for next week. If Kofi can beat Randy Orton, Samoa Joe, The Bar and Rowan, he'll get his title shot. A brawl ensued with The New Day standing tall.
