Friday Night Smackdown was happening as the crowd was excited to see what action awaits them. There is only one week left before the next pay-per-view happens and that is Backlash. The event will take place on Saturday, May 6, 2023, at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico José Miguel Agrelot in San Juan, Puerto Rico.

Right now the show began as pryo went off at the entrance ramp and the crowd erupted in cheers. Soon Daniel and Alex made their entrance as some of the audience were cheering for Dalton while the others were booing Ambrose.

Both of them had a chaotic last week when Daniel placed a bounty on Alex which resulted in chaos. Soon Ambrose managed to evade every attack and ambush. Eventually he pulled a trick up his sleeve and placed a bounty on Dalton. The Judgement Day got the bounty but Ambrose tricked them two times by giving them the first briefcase which was rigged with spray paint and the second briefcase being printed money.

Daniel and Alex entered the ring and looked at the crowd. Soon the entire Smackdown Roster made their way and stood by ringside as both of them began speaking.

Daniel: So next saturday, it's all about Backlash. Every championship and every rivalry will reach a climax. It's do or die for all titles and the outcomes here will change everything.

Alex: Or some rivalries might stretch beyond Backlash and continue towards the next show.

Daniel: Yeah. Since a lot of you have scores to settle. We decided to make a few decisions in these matches.

Alex: First match, Anne Winters and Trish Stratus are still not done with each other and they're ready to settle their heated rivalry once and for all at Backlash.

Daniel: And Anne even got some payback after she defeated Zoey at the Steel Cage match, last week.

Anne and Trish along with Zoey glared at each other as Ambrose continued speaking.

Alex: So I made a decision. Anne Winters and Trish Stratus will face each other in a last women standing match.

The crowd erupted in cheers as Anne had a sinister smile on her face when she heard the stipulation as Stratus and Zoey were shocked. The duo began shouting at the anarchist but Ambrose said something to them.

Alex: Oh, I forgot to mention, Zoey is banned from ringside.

Zoey was angry and shouted at Alex but he ignored her and continued speaking to the audience and roster.

Alex: So I had a talk with Dexter Lumis before the show began and he was angry when he saw Chris Johnson and didn't forget about what he did to him back in NXT.

Daniel: Yeah and he wanted to settle the score with him too.

Chris had a smirk on his face as Lumis was staring at Ambrose said something to them.

Alex: So you two will face each other in a falls count anywhere match.

The crowd erupted in cheers as Chris had a sadistic smile on his face while Dexter glared at him as he already accepted this stipulation.

Daniel: Now last week, Cora Jade and Roxxane Perez faced each other to see who will face Smackdown Women's Champion Anna Jay at Backlash. However the match ended in a double countout.

Cora and Roxxane glared at each other as Anna and Tay were smiling at them until Dalton said something to them.

Daniel: So we made a decision and Anna Jay will defend her championship against Cora Jade and Roxxane Perez in a triple threat match.
