WWE Cruiserweght Earns WrestleMania 34 Spot, Top Stars Team After SmackDown, Carmella
- This week's WWE SmackDown saw Ms. Money In the Bank Carmella cut a promo on winning the Fabulous Moolah Memorial Battle Royal at WrestleMania 34, calling herself the modern day Moolah. She then teased a possible cash-in at WrestleMania and went on to defeat Naomi in singles action after showing a more aggressive side.
Above is post-SmackDown video of Cathy Kelley interviewing Carmella about her more aggressive side we've seen as of late. Carmella says she's been taking a back seat lately but she's now going to remind everyone why she's Ms. Money In the Bank and why she made history twice. Carmella says she's then going to remind everyone she's the Princess of Staten Island and will make a name for herself as no one will forget about her. Cathy asks about the battle royal and possibly using the briefcase in New Orleans but Carmella refuses to talk to her about that.
- The dark main event after this week's SmackDown in Indianapolis saw Shinsuke Nakamura and WWE United States Champion Randy Orton defeat Baron Corbin and Dolph Ziggler. Corbin and Ziggler did not appear on this week's TV show.
- Cedric Alexander is going to WrestleMania 34 as he defeated Roderick Strong on this week's WWE 205 Live episode as the semi-finals of the WWE Cruiserweight Title tournament kicked off. Cedric will now go on to the finals at WrestleMania 34 to do battle with the winner of Mustafa Ali vs. Drew Gulak, which takes place next Tuesday night.
Below are photos and videos from tonight's match:
