WWE SmackDown Live Coverage And Results (2/20)

Welcome to WWE Smackdown and this week we are in Phoenix, Arizona. Renee Young is in the ring and she brings out the WWE Champion, AJ Styles.

Renee reminds AJ that he is in a five way match for the title at Fastlane and she asks him if he controls his destiny for Wrestlemania. AJ looks at the Wrestlemania sign and he says he is in control of his destiny. Any man who steps in this ring with him, he can beat him. AJ says it sounds cocky but he can back it up. This match at Fastlane is a problem. Anything can happen inside or outside this ring.

AJ shows Renee the announce table and it would feel good to put Kevin Owens through that announce table. There is a problem with that. AJ says in the middle of the ring, Dolph Ziggler could be pinning Sami Zayn and he would no longer be the WWE Champion. Speaking of the outside of the ring, AJ says the stairs are perfect for Sami Zayn and he would love to put his face in these steps. Back in the middle of the ring, AJ says that Dolph Ziggler has beaten Kevin Owens and he is no longer champion.

Individually, he can take them. Kevin Owens, former Universal Champion. Big and athletic. He knows what he is getting. Sami Zayn is ruthless when he wants to be. Dolph Ziggler is every bit the man he says he is. He is the Show Off, but he is not Phenomenal. Then we have . . .

Speaking of the other guy in the match, Baron Corbin makes his way to the stage.

Baron says if you were going to say that he could beat Baron, he will stop AJ before he makes a fool of himself. Baron says the last time they met in the ring, he beat AJ. He beat him for the United States Championship and then he beat AJ in their rematch. Baron says he has AJ's number because there is a major difference between them. You are just an athlete, while Baron says he is a fighter. He will enjoy pinning AJ for the title, or he can pin someone else because there will be nothing that AJ can do about it.

You are looking at the new WWE Champion.

Kevin Owens comes out to the stage. Kevin says AJ will not have to worry about running around the ring because you will be going through the announce table thanks to a pop up power bomb. He tells Baron that he did not look too strong last week when he was down on the floor.

Baron reminds Kevin that he took care of Kevin when he got back to his feet.

Kevin reminds Baron that he was given his chance on a silver platter. Shane's vendetta helped Baron. Shane has a vendetta against Kevin ever since the Head butt Heard Round the World and he has had to work for everything on Smackdown.

AJ tells Kevin he looks great and if he got that boil lanced off his back.

Kevin wants to know what AJ is talking about.

AJ says he was talking about Sami Zayn.

Kevin says he does not need Sami. Sami let him down last week because he had no time to prepare for Baron Corbin and Sami had all night to get ready for Dolph Ziggler. Shane wants to catch Kevin off guard.

Shane McMahon comes out and he bounces on the stage. He says there is a lot of talk emenating from this ring. We do not want talk tonight in Phoenix. We want action. Baron Corbin will face AJ Styles tonight. Kevin, you will get to see if you can do what your best friend could not do last week. You will have your match now.
