WWE is taping matches for this week’s SmackDown tonight in Atlanta, Georgia due to the WrestleMania week schedule changes. Thanks to Erin Bailey for the following spoilers:
WWE SmackDown, airing Friday:
* Chris Jericho defeated Kofi Kingston in a solid match. Jericho countered and won with the Walls of Jericho.
* Zack Ryder defeated Drew McIntyre.
* Big Show comes out and promises to have his WrestleMania moment by defeating Cody Rhodes and winning the Intercontinental Title.
* Jinder Mahal comes out but is interrupted by Shawn Michaels and Triple H with their DX music. DX joked around on Mahal before he got hit with a Pedigree and Sweet Chin Music. Shawn said he’s still better than Triple H and The Undertaker, regardless of what happens at WrestleMania. Shawn ran away up the ramp with Triple H chasing him to end it.
* REMINDER: There is no WWE SmackDown tapings this week. WWE SmackDown will feature AXXESS cut-ins as well as the above matches and segments that were taped before RAW this week.
