'friday night smackdown' results (3/20): rob gronkowski to appear

With a few weeks left before WrestleMania 36, and the blue brand shooting from the Performance Center in Orlando, tonight's _SmackDown_ should be interesting. Last week, John Cena made

a return and had a face-to-face with "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt in a segment that was amplified by the lack of an audience. Tonight, Goldberg and Roman Reigns will come face-to-face

for their contract signing. Will we get something similar to when The Undertaker showed up on _Monday Night RAW_ or will both masters of the spear get in the ring? WrestleMania 36 will be a

two-night event this year with both being hosted by former New England Patriots Tight End Rob Gronkowski. The Super Bowl winner will be live on _Friday Night SmackDown_—and what will happen

is anyone's guess. Mojo Rawley made an appearance last week to make the announcement that Gronkowski has signed with the WWE and will appear this week, but will Gronkowski's friend

get involved with the hosting gig? One match is confirmed for tonight's show and it's the _SmackDown_ Tag Team Champions, Miz and John Morrison going up against Heavy Machinery.

Otis and Tucker had a tremendous performance at the Elimination Chamber before being eliminated by Dolph Ziggler and Robert Roode, but can they get on the winning track by defeating the

champs? Or will Miz and Morrison continue their recent winning ways? Speaking of tag teams, Sasha Banks and Bayley defeated Nikki Cross and Alexa Bliss last night—with the help of a wild

Asuka—last week. Bliss and Cross have made their intentions clear for the Women's Tag Team Championships. Will we get more build to that potential WrestleMania 36 match? Here's

everything that happened on the March 20 episode of _Friday Night SmackDown_. WWE FRIDAY NIGHT SMACKDOWN OPENING SEGMENT * Michael Cole and Mojo Rawley open up the show inside the

Performance Center. Rawley introduces Rob Gronkowski, who is the host of the two-night WrestleMania 36. * Gronkowski dances his way to the ring and Mojo tells him that the WWE is different

from the NFL because there's always a target on your back. Rawley says he will have Gronkowski's back and Rob says he'll have Mojo's back. * Gronkowski says that

he's been a fan of the WWE since he was in 2nd Grade and attended FCW shows to support Mojo Rawley. * King Corbin comes out to interrupt Gronkowski. He says that this is not the NFL and

he'll be eaten alive here. Elias interrupts Corbin and starts to sing a song, but Corbin stops him when Gronkowski pushes King Corbin who trips over Rawley who was behind him. Elias

tosses Corbin out of the ring. * Gronkowski says he is advocating for a WrestleMania match between Corbin and Elias. DANIEL BRYAN AND DREW GULAK VS SHINSUKE NAKAMURA AND CESARO * Sami Zayn

is on commentary * Bryan pins Cesaro after a sunset flip * Bryan holds Gulak's arms up and tells Zayn who Drew is. Sami starts jawing at Bryan. BACKSTAGE * Bryan and Gulak are

stretching and working out backstage * They are approached by Sami and his crew. Zayn calls his victories mediocre and Gulak is just teaching him to squeak by. Sami says that he's

untouchable and that Bryan should have joined him. * Bryan says that if Sami is so confident he should put the Intercontinental Championship against him at WrestleMania. Sami says that if

Gulak defeats Shinsuke next week then he'll defend his title. Bryan agrees PAIGE SEGMENT * Paige shows up on Skype. Bayley and Sasha Banks immediately interrupt her. They say that Paige

no-showed last week and now on Skype. * They talk about how Paige can't do anything about them because she can't wrestle any more. * Paige says she can't wrestle, but she was

a six-pack challenge against Lacey Evans, Naomi, Dana Brooke, Tamina, and Sasha Banks. * The announcement of Banks surprised both of them. Banks looks at the title and Bayley runs off alone

wins via pinfall after an AA * After the replay, last week's segment with "The Fiend" and Cena is shown again. THE DIRT SHEET * Miz and Morrison sit in the ring and say that

since they beat every team at the Elimination Chamber they don't know who should they face next. They ask the audience who they should face. * In the stands, cameras cut to Miz and

distracts Otis. Otis runs after Ziggler and grabs him when he tries to escape. Ziggler gets away but Otis takes his frustrations out on Miz and Morrison. * Otis is about to hit the tag
