- We kick off the show with the new WWE Champion Randy Orton, who comes out to...indifference, to put it bluntly. Orton tries to hype up the crowd before saying if you're going to face someone at WrestleMania, you better make sure you beat their ass. He says he is Bray Wyatt's master and will never forget his name before being interrupted by Wyatt on the big screen. He says he will reclaim the WWE Championship before saying he has a surprise for Orton tonight. He also says he wants Orton in a match that will test him both physically & psychologically. He calls it the "House of Horrors" match, which is an awful name. Are they gonna fight at like a haunted house or something? Orton accepts and tells Wyatt to come down to the ring and fight him. The lights go out before coming back on to show Wyatt behind Orton. The two brawl before Erick Rowan returns and attacks Orton. Wyatt & Rowan beat down Orton until Luke Harper runs down to save his best friend; the man got him kicked out of the Wyatt Family. Harper & Orton fend off Wyatt & Rowan and stand tall.
- Renee Young interviews The Miz & Maryse. Miz says Cena only proposed because it was good marketing idea before saying they're calling out Cena & Nikki Bella, adding that this will be the last time we see them on SmackDown for a long time.
- Naomi (c) vs Alexa Bliss-SmackDown Women's Championship-Bliss takes the fight right to Naomi when the bell rings. Naomi responds with a bulldog into the middle turnbuckle before hitting a leg lariat on the outside before the commercial break. We come back to Bliss getting a near fall. Bliss works over Naomi's previously injured leg, but Naomi is able to fight back with strikes and a back suplex. She follows up with a roundhouse kick for a near fall, which Bliss responds to with a DDT for a near fall. Naomi connects with the Rear View, but her injured leg forces her to hesitate on the on the pin and only get a near fall. Naomi goes for a split legged moonsault, but Bliss yanks her down and makes the cover, but gets caught holding the ropes. Naomi rolls her up before locking in a headscissors crucifix choke for the submission win. Fine match, nothing special.
- Curt Hawkins is out for a promo. He people should be talking about him & not the Superstar Shake-Up. So he's throwing out an open challenge, and he's giving anyone in the back until the count of 10...and you know what comes next.
- Curt Hawkins vs Tye Dillinger-10! 10! 10! 10! 10! The two lock up before Dillinger hits a snapmare and throws up the ten at Hawkins. Hawkins responds with a back suplex before Dillinger runs wild on Hawkins. Dillinger hits 10 punches in the corner before hitting the Tye Breaker, a fireman's carry neckbreaker (also known as the Ushigoroshi) for the win.
- Mojo Rawley gets interviewed. He says winning at WrestleMania was a dream come true talking about how they celebrated.
- Outcomes "John Cena & Nikki Bella," who are actually the Miz & Maryse dressed up as Cena & Nikki. Miz & Maryse mock Cena proposing to Nikki at WrestleMania as being completely fake before saying that they're leaving WWE because they only care about themselves. They start to leave before suddenly...a violinist appears at the top of the stage. You know what this means...SHINSUKE. NAKAMURA!!! Oddly enough, Miz & Nakamura don't interact at all. Nakamura shows up and Miz is never seen again. But whatever, SHINSUKE NAKAMURA IS ON SMACKDOWN!
- Baron Corbin vs Dean Ambrose in a Street Fight-So after stinking up the WrestleMania pre-show, these two face off again tonight in a non-title street fight. Corbin takes Ambrose to the corner and stomps a mudhole in him. The two trade blows before Corbin hits an STO. Corbin goes out of the ring to grab a chair, only to have it kicked into him by Ambrose, who follows up with a suicide dive that sends Corbin over the announce table. The two fight into the crowd before the commercial break. We come back to see Corbin drive Ambrose through a table in the corner. Corbin grabs a leather strap from under the ring and whips Ambrose. Corbin wedges a chair in the corner and throws Ambrose to it, only for Ambrose to turn it around and send Corbin into the chair. The two trade blows before Ambrose floors Corbin with a clothesline and whips him with the strap. Ambrose clotheslines Corbin out of the ring and dives onto him from the top rope. Ambrose sets up Corbin on a table at ringside and hits a top rope elbow drop through it. Ambrose goes to the top rope again, but Corbin throws a chair at him and knocks him off before hitting the End of Days for the win. Pretty good match, much better than their WrestleMania match.
- Outcomes Shane McMahon. He says anyone on the RAW roster should want to come to SmackDown next week before AJ Styles comes out. He tells Shane he doesn't want to leave SmackDown, which he calls the house he built, and he'll be damned if someone tries to take that from him. He then offers a handshake to Shane before teasing a punch as a joke.
- The Wyatt Family vs Randy Orton & Luke Harper-If this match doesn't end with Harper turning on Orton to rejoin the Wyatts then I will be very disappointed. Orton almost gets an RKO right away, only to get caught with a dropkick by Rowan before the commercial break. We come back to see Orton make the tag to Harper. Harper runs through Wyatt, hitting a slingshot senton on Wyatt followed by a suicide dive on Rowan. Wyatt ends up catching Harper with a body block and rolls him back in the ring. Rowan tags in for a splash for a near fall. The Wyatt's control the match until Harper hits a spinning side slam on Wyatt. Orton gets the hot tag and quickly powerslams Rowan. Orton goes for the draping DDT, but Wyatt stops him, only to get a draping DDT of his own. Orton calls for the RKO, but the lights suddenly go out. When they come back on, Wyatt is on the ramp. Rowan sneaks up behind Orton and goes for a full nelson slam. However, Orton avoids it, allowing Harper to superkick Rowan and Orton to hit the RKO for the win. Erick Rowan is the jobber of all jobbers.
