<p><strong>SmackDown Women&#8217;s Championship | Bayley (c) def. Carmella:</strong> The championship match went better than most of the WWE Universe expected as it was filled with a lot of nearfalls by both the champion and the challenger.

<p><strong>Bray Wyatt interrupts Hulk Hogan:</strong> Hogan was live from his home and he warned The Fiend about getting in the ring with Goldberg. Bray Wyatt interrupted Hogan with a FunHouse segment and warned him that if he isn&#8217;t careful, he might end on The Fiend&#8217;s wall. Hogan said he will see him in Tamps and left the show abruptly.</p>

<p><strong>Dolph Ziggler spoils Otis&#8217;s date with Mandy Rose:</strong> Otis has been preparing for this moment from the time Mandy Rose agreed to go out on a date with him on Valentine&#8217;s Day. The Heavy Machinery star arrived at the restaurant, only to see Dolph Ziggler sitting at the table with Rose. A seemingly heartbroken Otis dropped the roses he had bought for Rose and left the place without even confronting them.</p>

<p><strong>Roman Reigns and Daniel Bryan def. The Miz and John Morrison:</strong> Daniel Bryan turned out to be the mystery partner for Roman Reigns while Baron Corbin made his way through the crowd displaying a ticket to watch the show. Corbin was banned from participating in matches as a punishment for mistreating a fan last week on SmackDown.</p>



<p>After a lot of back and forth, The Miz countered an attempted Spear from Reigns, with a Skull Crushing Finale, but Bryan made the save just in time. Miz went for the Running Knee, mocking Bryan, but Reigns countered it with a Superman Punch and followed it with a Spear for the win.</p>



<p>Corbin attacked Reigns from behind with a scepter, despite the ban, and ended the show by sitting on his throne which was set up at the start of the ramp.</p>

<h2 class="has-text-align-center wp-block-heading"><strong>WWE Friday Night SmackDown Takeaways</strong></h2>



<h3 class="has-text-align-center wp-block-heading"><strong>1.</strong> <strong>Dolph Ziggler vs. Otis?</strong></h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" src="https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EQyKH3mWoAAV86k?format=jpg" alt=""/></figure>



<p>Otis was prepared for the biggest night of his life this week as he headed out to a date with Mandy Rose and it&#8217;s quite obvious that Dolph Ziggler had an issue with this. Ziggler has tried to come between the couple a number of times in recent months but hijacking a date that Otis worked hard for could be enough to tip him over the edge.</p>



<p>Otis has only competed in Tag Team competition in recent months on the main roster. Could this be the boost he needs to enter singles competition and feud with Ziggler over Mandy Rose?</p>



<h3 class="has-text-align-center wp-block-heading"><strong>2. The Women Will Make History In Saudi Arabia</strong></h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" src="https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EQyHc9tWsAIAnT8?format=jpg" alt=""/></figure>



<p>There was speculation surrounding the SmackDown Women&#8217;s Championship match at Super ShowDown over the past week, but Carmella and Bayley faced off this week on SmackDown instead. Interestingly, Bayley then went on to announce that she would be making history in Saudi Arabia by being the first female to defend a Championship in the Middle East.</p>



<p>Next week on Friday Night SmackDown, Naomi will face Carmella with the winner heading to Saudi Arabia to challenge Bayley for her Championship.</p>



<h3 class="has-text-align-center wp-block-heading"><strong>3. Bray Wyatt vs. Hulk Hogan?</strong></h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" src="https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EQyCjNyXYAAC-BF?format=jpg" alt=""/></figure>



<p>Hulk Hogan made an appearance via Skype this week on SmackDown in order to give his views on the match between Goldberg and The Fiend at Super ShowDown on February 27th. Hogan was obviously put in the firing line for a reason and Wyatt teased a match with the WWE Hall of Famer when he showed a photo of Hogan that was prepared to be added to his FunHouse wall.</p>



<p>Hogan&#8217;s medical state is unknown but if he&#8217;s in Saudi Arabia in less than two weeks&#8217; time then it&#8217;s easy to see him planting some seeds ahead of a showdown with The Fiend in the future.</p>



<h3 class="has-text-align-center wp-block-heading"><strong>4. Planting Seeds For Elimination Chamber?</strong></h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" src="https://i.imgur.com/0dOnVbm.jpg" alt=""/></figure>



<p>A Moment of Bliss kicked off this week&#8217;s episode of SmackDown and Women&#8217;s Champion Bayley made a point of reminding the WWE Universe of her issues with Alexa Bliss. Naomi and Carmella obviously have claims for the Women&#8217;s Championship as well, while either Dana Brooke or Lacey Evans could make up the numbers in a potential Elimination Chamber match, which would leave one more space for a returning Sasha Banks.</p>



<p>Once again Banks was missing from ringside and wasn&#8217;t on hand to help Bayley out of a beatdown, so The Boss could return on March 8th and make a play for the Women&#8217;s Championship which would then go on to set up a match between the two women at WrestleMania, a match that has been rumored for this year&#8217;s card.</p>
