| 0:00.0 | Tonight on SmackDown, we had the Kansas City showdown between Sami Zayn and Jey Uso confronting |
| 0:06.4 | each other in the ring to close out the show, but first we had Cody Rhodes. |
| 0:11.4 | Making a special appearance venturing over to the Friday night show, trying to play peacemaker |
| 0:16.4 | between Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn, trying to get the two of them back on the same page. |
| 0:21.8 | Again, Kevin Owens, not receptive, not wanting to have anything to do with Sami Zayn, |
| 0:27.2 | but you had to think that later on in the show with Sami coming back out, there might be some |
| 0:31.4 | kind of development, there might be some kind of angle that they were going to shoot at the very |
| 0:36.4 | end of the show. And tonight was the night that we finally got that angle because Kevin Owens |
| 0:42.9 | and Sami Zayn, it took long enough, it took many, many weeks, but here tonight we finally got |
| 0:48.7 | the reunion between KO and Sami. And the tag team title match of WrestleMania now is all, |
| 0:56.8 | but official, what a great moment it was to when the two of them hugged, when Kevin Owens came in |

| 1:07.0 | has been built up now for many, many weeks. And really you could say it's been built for many years, |
| 1:14.0 | given the backstory and the history between Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn. So that place |
| 1:19.2 | went nuts for that moment. And I got to tell you, Cody Rhodes is the miracle man. |
| 1:25.9 | I mean, what more can you say? First of all, not only did he solve racism, |
| 1:30.8 | but he brought Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn back together. He did the impossible. |
| 1:36.0 | Just give the man the title. I mean, if that doesn't earn him the undisputed championship, |
| 1:41.9 | I don't know what does. We also got some clarity tonight, finally, on the intercontinental championship |
| 1:49.0 | picture for WrestleMania, exactly what we expected. And I was not a fan of how they went about doing it. |
| 1:55.2 | I actually thought it was kind of goofy, but we did get a match tonight between Drew McIntyre |
| 1:59.6 | and Shayna's going one-on-one to determine who would meet Gunther, WrestleMania for the ICT title. |
