WWE Smackdown Live Coverage And Results (4/3) Nashville, Tennessee

Welcome to WWE Smackdown and this week we are in Nashville, Tennessee and this is the go home show before this Sunday's Wrestlemania 34 and we kick things off with Daniel Bryan making his way to the ring.

Daniel welcomes everyone to Smackdown. Daniel brings out his tag team partner on Sunday, Shane McMahon. Shane comes out and he is not able to fully shuffle his way to the ring. He tries to shuffle in the ring, but cannot complete the task.

Shane thanks everyone for the applause and he says he has to correct Daniel Bryan. Daniel is a role model because he has fought and clawed his way over the last three years. That is to compete in the ring.

He congratulates Daniel for being medically cleared to wrestle. Shane says he couldn't be more excited to be Daniel's tag team partner. Shane mentions some of the medical maladies he has suffered and he blames it on Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens. Shane says he is medically cleared.

Daniel says there is one thing he has to address as the General Manager of Smackdown. Over the past six months, he says he has made some mistakes, especially when it comes to Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn. They have been friends for fifteen years and he let that affect his decisions. Daniel says that Shane was right all along and he apologizes to Shane.

Shane says he has done some reflection and he says he can be a little hot headed and a little stubborn. Daniel disputes the fact that a McMahon could be stubborn.

Daniel says if they are going to resolve their differences, he learned a lot being in the WWE. When a tag team has its differences, there is only one way to resolve it.

The people in Nashville want a hug and Shane offers his hand. Daniel says he shook Shane's hand two minutes ago. Nashville does not want to see them shake hands. Daniel asks Nashville if they want to see them hug it out.

Shane says he is not much of a hugger but he appreciates it. They hug and the crowd applauds it. Shane says that worked. They are definitely on the same page now. Daniel says them being on the same page is bad news for Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn. They are going to get payback for what they did to him, Shane, and everyone else.

Shane thanks Daniel for reinstating them because he is looking forward to getting rid of that cancer from Smackdown and after Sunday, they will never be seen on Smackdown again.
