Tonight was the last SmackDown before WrestleMania and all the Superstars were mentally preparing themselves. Alex was given the night off so he can prepare for Sunday, but that doesn't mean he is staying away from the ring. Tonight, SmackDown advertised four matches:

Daniel Bryan vs. Samoa Joe vs. Jeff Hardy vs. Rey Mysterio vs. Andrade "Cien" Almas - Fatal 5 Way to face the WWE Champion

AJ Styles vs. Buddy Murphy

Randy Orton vs. Tye Dillinger

The group were at catering watching the fatal four way match and the winner faces Alexa.

Alexa: who will fall to the Goddess next?

Peyton: we'll find out

Billie: where's Alex?

Alexa: I think he's in his locker room

Peyton: weird, he has no matches tonight

Alexa: well you know our baby, Peyton

Peyton: he's full of surprises

Randy: Billie, Peyton, who are you challenging at WrestleMania for the Women's Tag titles?

Peyton: we've been called out by Sasha and Bayley

Billie: and WWE confirmed it that we will be facing them at WrestleMania

AJ: a dream match right there; best friends vs. best friends

Alexa: can't wait for that

As the match reached its final moments, Mandy took out Naomi with the Angel's Wings; looking to seal another title opportunity, but Carmella ambushed her with a superkick and won the opportunity by pinfall.

Alexa: an NXT rivalry renewed

Peyton: she never defeated you, Lex

Alexa: this will be easy

They watched the the fatal 5 way match in which the winner faces Randy for the title. Alex was still gone and this kinda worry Alexa and Peyton.

Alexa: where's our baby?

Peyton: I'm pretty sure he's around

Randy: knowing my apprentice; he's lying and waiting

The group watched the final moments of the match.

Daniel has locked in the heel hook on Rey and the Luchador was fighting the urge to tap out. However, Jeff broke up the hold and hits Daniel with a Twist of Fate. Joe took out Jeff with an enziguri followed by Andrade hitting the fake boot back elbow, fazing the Samoan Submission Machine. Rey went back on his feet and hits the Canadian Destroyer on El Idolo. He saw Joe wobbling on his feet and kicked him from behind. He hits the 619 and prepares for a senton.

As Joe made it to his feet, Rey jumped, but he was caught and Joe locked in the Coquina Clutch forcing Rey to tap out.

Announcer: here is your winner and number 1 contender, Samoa Joe!
