Braun Strowman kicked off SmackDown and was celebrating his Universal Championship win at WrestleMania when Shinsuke Nakamura interrupted him. Braun asked what he wanted and Nakamura challenged him, through a silly knock-knock joke.

Braun accepted but it wasn't clear if it would be a title match. Cesaro tried to attack Braun from behind but Strowman was too quick and knocked him off the apron. Nakamura hit a big kick to the champ's head before retreating.

Another great win for the champs

Bliss took out Sane and Asuka on the outside with the Twisted Bliss. Inside the ring, Cross tagged in for the Fisherman's Neckbreaker and got the win.

Miz and Morrison gave us an epic rundown of what went down on WrestleMania week after reminding us that Morrison is the first person in history to defend the tag titles alone while Miz was the first person to have defended it from his couch.

They were giving us a performance of 'Miz & Morrison - Hey Hey, Ho Ho' when the Usos came out and said the Mania match was unfair. They proposed a match with Miz but Miz said that he wasn't medically cleared to fight.

The New Day came out and Big E said that they had consulted with WWE Management and next week, Miz would face Big E and Jey Uso in a triple threat match for the titles.

We were in the FireFly Funhouse and Wyatt 'rewrote history' after beating Cena but then turned to Braun who had betrayed Wyatt in the past. The other characters joined in as Wyatt asked for an apology. Braun said he wasn't playing his games before Wyatt said he would teach him about sharing by taking away his title. Braun interrupted the funhouse jingle to say that he was ready to face Wyatt at any time.
