WWE SmackDown Results March 6th, 2020: Winners, Grades, Video Highlights for latest Friday Night SmackDown

Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross kicked off SmackDown and introduced us to the 2020 WWE Hall of Fame inductees before they were joined by the nWo. Nikki Cross was really excited and took a selfie before proceeding with the slightly awkward interview.

Bliss brought up the time Kevin Nash ended Goldberg's winning streak before Sami Zayn, Nakamura and Cesaro crashed the party. Sami introduced themselves before saying that it wasn't 1997 and they were the future.

The trios got in each other's faces and the nWo proposed a match. Sami said they weren't gonna give the nWo what they want: to make the headlines by facing Team Sami. Braun Strowman came out and wiped out Cesaro and Nakamura before cornering Sami in the ring with the nWo.

Sami used Alexa as a human shield before running out of the ring and retreating backstage. Strowman promised to deliver 'these hands' to them on Sunday before the segment was done.
