• 3 Wrestlers Debut On Tonight’s SmackDown, 2 Of Them Get A Name Change

Below are the results from tonight’s SmackDown so far:

– Ronda Rousey kicked off tonight’s SmackDown after WrestleMania 38 and challenged Charlotte Flair to an “I Quit” Match for the SmackDown Women’s Championship at WrestleMania Backlash 2022.

Charlotte appeared on the titantron and told Rousey to get to the back of the line.

– Xavier Woods def. Butch

Butch attacked Ridge Holland after the match due to his temper issues. Sheamus stopped him.

– In a backstage segment with Adam Pearce, Sami Zayn said he was turned into a joke at WrestleMania 38 and now he wants people to respect him again because he’s one of the best in the world.

Sami said he will face the next person that walks through that door. Drew McIntyre comes out of the door and Sami says he will face the second person that walks through that door.

Pearce said that won’t happen because Sami will face Drew tonight.

– Former NXT Tag Team Champion Marcel Barthel of Imperium debuted under the name “Ludwig” and introduced NXT UK Champion Gunther (fka WALTER). This is their main roster debut.

– Gunther def. Joe Alonzo (local wrestler)
