WWE SmackDown Spoilers for March 24, 2016: Brock Lesnar Returns, Confronts Dean Ambrose in Main Event
"WWE SmackDown" wrapped up its latest taping in Boston, which is the home to Sasha Banks. The event is set to air Thursday.
Building Triple Threat Divas Match
"SmackDown" opened with WWE Divas Champion Charlotte in the ring to deliver a promo, while Becky Lynch sat with commentary for the first match of the show. Sasha Banks appeared to a huge round of applause as expected from her fellow Bostonians. Banks' one-on-one winning streak continued, as she rolled Charlotte for a pin. After the match, Lynch attacked both Banks and Charlotte, but the segment didn't end until Banks further attacked the Divas Champion.
WWE Tag Team Match Build Up
WWE Tag Team Champions The New Day were next to deliver their own promo. The League of Nations, minus Alberto Del Rio, interrupted New Day. Eventually, the second match of the night was set: Kofi Kingston vs. Sheamus. With interference from Rusev and King Barrett, Sheamus defeated Kingston.
Another "WrestleMania" tag-team match was highlighted with The Usos defeating The Ascension in a quick match. The Usos have a "WrestleMania" match against The Dudley Boyz, and the latter were interviewed by Renee Young backstage. The Dudleys criticized The Usos, their father Rikishi and The Wild Samoans. Roman Reigns appeared and called for a match against Bubba Ray Dudley.
Kevin Owens' Challenges
During the last "Monday Night Raw," WWE Intercontinental Champion Kevin Owens found out he's scheduled to defend his title at "WrestleMania" against Sami Zayn, Dolph Ziggler, The Miz, Stardust, Sin Cara and Zack Ryder in a ladder match. At "SmackDown," Owens teamed with Miz against Zayn and Ziggler. Owens tried to walk away from the match but was confronted by Sin Cara, Stardust and Ryder. Miz attacked Owens, which allowed Zayn to hit the Helluva Kick for the win. After the match, everyone hit their finisher on Owens.
Reigns vs. Dudley
Bubba Ray Dudley and Reigns' match ended in a double count out, but both continued to brawl outside the ring. Reigns eventually looked strong and speared Bubba to end the segment.
Singles Action
Backstage, WWE United States Champion Kalisto and Sin Cara were interviewed about their respective "WrestleMania" matches, until Ryback appeared. Ryback said he will defeat Kalisto on April to become the new United States Champion. In the ring, AJ Styles defeated Tyler Breeze.
Main Event Promo
Instead of a match, "SmackDown" concluded with an in-ring segment featuring Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman speaking about Lesnar vs. Ambrose. Despite Heyman calling out Ambrose, The Wyatt Family appeared. Ambrose finally surfaced and attacked the Wyatts. Lesnar then overcame Ambrose and ended the show with an F5.
Prior to "SmackDown": Emma's Comeback
Before the taping, WWE also taped its "Main Event" program, which saw the main-roster return of Emma. After spending several months at NXT, Emma appeared with Summer Rae to back up Lana, Naomi and Tamina against Paige, Alicia Fox and Natalya. This segment was likely done for the unconfirmed second Divas match featuring Emma, Summer, Lana, Tamina and Naomi against Brie Bella, Alicia Fox, Paige, Natalya and an unknown fifth partner.
