Jey Uso demands that he’s made the special enforcer at Fastlane, but is interrupted by Edge. He lays down a challenge. Next week, for the first time in 11 years, he’ll wrestle on SmackDown. He’ll face Jey for the right to be special enforcer.

Adam Pearce agrees, leading to a four man brawl. However, Edge shoves Bryan away from him, leading to the Running Knee from the leader of the Yes Movement.

Bryan did something last week that Reigns never could. He made Jey Uso tap out. Bryan follows up, saying that he should be the real head of the table.

Reigns, furious, signs the contract immediately.

Roman Reigns talks down to Daniel Bryan before saying that he’s not signing the contract.

Bryan taunts him, claiming that he’s not a man of his word and he’s also afraid to face the man many believe are better than him.

Next up is the Fastlane contract signing, and it looks like Jey Uso is beside his cousin once again. Guess he got away with a slap on the wrist?

Apollo’s music hits, and he blindsides the Intercontinental Champion. Two Angle Slams plant E, and he promises to continue these beatings until he gets the gold.

Apollo tosses the stairs into the ring, and looks to injure E again. The stairs launch Big E through the ropes and into the announce desk.

Sami drives E to the mat with a sunset flip powerbomb from the top rope, but just can’t get the win. A fantastic power bomb. Big E responds with a hellacious clothesline, quickly capitalizing with the Big Ending.

Big E defeats Sami Zayn via pinfall.

Can @SamiZayn craft the perfect ending to his documentary???#SmackDown #ICTitle @WWEBigE pic.twitter.com/H18YpqLPOe

Big E still wasn’t 100% and Sami zeroed in on his injured neck. The powerful champion fell quickly, leading to The Great Liberator gaining the upper hand and some great shots for his documentary.

Zayn hit a big diving elbow, but the second was turned into another belly-to-belly. E batters Zayn on the apron, screaming Apollo’s name all the while. Sami avoids the big splash, though, regaining control ahead of the commercial break.

Big E drops Sami with a belly-to-belly before the match, showing that he’s not in the mood to play.

King Corbin is the one to answer the challenge, but doesn’t officially accept it before Sami Zayn can steal his thunder.

Big E says that pinning Apollo just isn’t enough anymore. He needs to give Crews what he truly deserves.

He offers Apollo a title match tonight, hoping to get his revenge tonight. Apollo doesn’t appear, though, leading to an open challenge for the belt tonight.

Big E is out next, and the Intercontinental Champion is ready to get his hands on Apollo Crews.

Crews had opened Pandora’s Box. What he’s done is unleashed a more dangerous Big E. The champ promises to go “Old Testament” on Crews.

Sasha compares herself to Michael Jordan and promises to leave Mania as 2 Belts Banks.

The KO Show is next, and Kevin Owens’ guests tonight are Sasha Banks and Bianca Belair.

Edge finds Jey Uso backstage and reminisces with him about hanging out with he, his brother, and his father when they were young. He’s not here to treat Jey as a lesser human being like Roman had lately.

Edge asks what Rikishi thinks of all of this, but that’s the final straw. Jey warns Edge that he needs to enjoy time with his family, because after WrestleMania he won’t be enjoying anything anymore.

Jey clearly took the words to heart, though, and Edge is sad he couldn’t get through to him.

Backstage, Sami Zayn asks Kevin Owens to join him in filming his documentary. KO is too focused on the KO Show, but promises he’ll think about it. Good luck, Sami. I don’t see that going well.

After beating down Cesaro, Shinsuke Nakamura stares him down. Looks like the King of Strong Style may be joining his tag team partner against Rollins and Murphy.

Every time Murphy gets a shot in, he’s stopped shortly after with Cesaro’s vicious uppercuts. The Cesaro swing spins Murphy around, but Rollins attacks him before he can finish.

Cesaro defeats Murphy via DQ.
