Smackdown Live

6 weeks till Wrestlemania

A wounded Aiden English walk on stage with a mic to rap and introduce Rusev. He cleared his throat.

Aiden: [Insert Rap]. It's Rusev Daaaaaaay!

Rusev walked out with his wife, Lana walking towards the ring with English flanking them.

Tom: Welcome to Smackdown Live! Tom Philips, Byron Saxton, and Corey Graves.

Rusev plans on celebrating leaving The Big Bad Wolf, Rahzel out cold this past Sunday at Fastlane.

Saxton: After Raij attacked him from behind with a chair.

Graves: Quiet Saxton, Rusev Day is alive and still kicking thanks to Raij!

Lana: This past Sunday at Fastlane, my husband, The Bulgarian Brute, Rusev put down The Big Bad Wolf where nobody else couldn't.

No one can do so much damage but Rusev. Today makes a special Rusev Day as we celebrate The Wolf Slayer, Rusev!

The Rusev Day trio were interrupted by Zelina Vega and the new United States Champion, Andrade Almas.

Zelina: Congratulations Rusev for putting Rahzel down after Raji helped you.

Unlike you, Andrade "Cien" Almas got the job done and became The United States Champion! If he was facing Rahzel, he would've beat him.

Andrade raised the US title. Lana wasn't impressed.

Lana: Zelina, your client low blow his way to become champion. If you're so confident, put that title on the line against a more dominant US Champion, Rusev.

Andrade was going to pretend to get in the ring, but the music of Scottie Ace cause him to look behind and see Scottie with a steel chair.

Scottie: You know, Zelina, Lana is right. Almas low blow his way to become United States Champion. So I thought to myself that I should congratulate him...with this steel chair!

Scottie preceed to walk down towards the two people that cost him a shot at The United States Championship. But a group of security stopped him.

A furious Samoa Joe walked out, looking like he was going to choke out everyone that stood in his way.

Joe: ANDRADE! No thanks to that punk ass, Scottie Ace, you got lucky! But next time, there will be no Raij. There will be no Scottie. There will be NO ONE TO STOP ME FROM CHOKING YOU OUT AND GETTING BACK MY UNITED STATES CHAMPIONSHIP!

Lilith walked out on the stage, directing security to bring Scottie to her.

Lilith: Nobody touches anyone here! Did ya'll forget who runs Smackdown Live at the moment? Let me remind you, it's me!

Andrade will have a United States Championship match against Samoa Joe in two weeks. But tonight, we will have a tag team match!

Rusev, you will team up with Andrade "cien" Almas to take on a team who hasn't been together since late 2016. The team of Scottie Ace and...Rahzel!

The crowd cheered on as Scottie smiled about the upcoming match. The brothers are back!

Rahzel was in his usual spot he likes to hang out at. The dark room with the red spotlight on him. He smiled for a bit before getting serious.

"Raij, who knew you had it in you to pull a stunt like that at Fastlane. I like that. I like the fire in your eyes. That's what you have to do at Wrestlemania.

"But if you don't bring the fight to me, it will be your last Wrestlemania because I'm going to rip you apart.

"Rusev, you called yourself The Wolf Slayer. I'm still here, not slained. But pissed off. I'm going to make sure this Rusev Day is going be...silent."

Tom: What a victory for The Brothers!

Andrade and Zelina arrive at Gorilla where Lilith was waiting for them.

Lilith: Hey Andrade, Zelina. Zelina, I remember you say something earlier. Oh, what was it? Oh. If Andrade was facing Rahzel, he would beat him.
