WWE SMACKDOWN RESULTS – MARCH 27, 2026
‘WWE Then. Now. Forever. Together.’ kicks things off as always. We then see the usual show-opening WWE Superstar arrival shots. Jelly Roll is shown with a young boy looking at a trophy case or something. From there, we shoot into a recap package of “The Voices” in Randy Orton’s head leading to his vicious heel turn.
Orton gets a mic and just listens to the cheers before saying he stood in this ring two weeks ago with Cody Rhodes and Cody told him to become the best version of himself, then said the fans want Randy to be the best version as well. The crowd cheers for that.
Cody also told him to listen to the voices in his head, but Randy shut them out a long time ago. For the last years he’s been thinking about 15, his legacy in wrestling after he leaves, and his 15th world title. Big pop. Then Cody gave Randy his blessing.
Well now that he’s listening to the voices again he has to warn people that he’s not responsible for what happens next. Another big pop. The voices of others are the problem, including the fans. But there’s one voice and person who has his ear. One person outside of his head who’s voice he’s listening too.
Before that can go anywhere he’s Matt Cardona with a brace on his left arm. Cardona has a mic and just hits Randy with it to big boos. That knocks Randy out of the ring and Cardona calls him into the ring for a fight as the crowd loudly chant for Randy.
Backstage With Nick Aldis, Sami Zayn & Trick Williams
We shoot backstage where we see Trick Williams with SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis. Aldis says he’s impressed with Trick and what he’s done, and he’s going to give him a Mania match. Trick has people to call, then Sami Zayn comes over and Trick makes fun of him.
Sami congratulates Trick on going to Mania then asks Aldis what his spot at Mania will be. Aldis says Sami isn’t on the Mania card right now unless something changes. Trick wishes Sami better luck next year. Sami staggers away stunned, then turns around and punches down Trick. He assures Aldis he’s gonna be on WrestleMania.
Randy Orton Confronts Nick Aldis
Now we see a still fired-up Randy Orton yelling at Nick Aldis backstage. Orton wants a match with Matt Cardona tonight. Orton if he doesn’t make this match happen something bad will happen. Aldis agrees to the match for tonight.
The Bella Twins vs. Charlotte Flair & Alexa Bliss
Back inside the arena, we hear the familiar sounds of the theme music of WWE Hall of Fame legends The Bella Twins. The duo of Nikki Bella and Brie Bella make their way out to the ring for our first match of the evening. As they do, we shift gears and head to a pre-match commercial break.
When the show returns, we see The Bella Twins in the ring. The theme for Charlotte Flair hits and out comes “The Queen” first for her team. Her music transitions into the darker entrance tune for Alexa Bliss, who makes her way out. The two head to the ring.
Before things can get started, the theme for The Irresistible Forces hits and out comes the WWE Women’s Tag-Team Champions duo of Nia Jax and Lash Legend. Jax talks trash on the microphone about the two teams in the ring. Legend taunts them as well.
The bell sounds and we’re officially off-and-running with this women’s tag-team opener. Flair and Nikki lock up and Flair gets Nikki in a headlock and then takes her down with a shoulder check. Flair taunts Nikki and then kicks Nikki and Brie and tries for a roll up but Nikki counters it and knocks Flair to the mat.
Brie is tagged in and she comes off the top rope with a double axe handle on Flair. Brie chops Flair but is then driven into the turnbuckles. Flair strikes Brie and tags in Bliss. Brie is double teamed and Brie attacks Bliss right after and knocks Bliss down and covers her for a near fall.
Nikki’s tagged in and Bliss doesn’t see. Bliss gets tangled in the ring apron and is double teamed by Nikki and Brie. Flair comes to make the save to keep this match alive and going. On that note, the show shifts gears and heads into a mid-match commercial break as the action continues.
