In-Ring: Kofi Kingston, Dolph Ziggler

WWE Smackdown Live kicks off with the WWE champion Kofi Kingston coming out to the ring with Xavier Woods. A loud “Kofi” chant from the fans. Kofi says if there’s one thing he has learned over the past three months is that life is crazy. Life is full of surprises. He thought over the past 11 years, he had seen it all and done it all. Championships, friendships. Another loud “Kofi” chant by those in attendance. Kofi says there’s been lows too but he takes a lot of pride in fighting through those lows. And by doing that, he won the WWE title at WrestleMania. The fans chant “You deserve it” to Kofi Kingston as he thanks the crowd. And as amazing as it was winning the title, what is most important for him is to be bale to inspire people to do what they want to do and believe in themselves. Kofi points to the tron as we see a video of his trip Ghana.

The camera cuts back to a teary eyed Kofi. He says after 26 years, he was finally able to go back to his home country, where he was born. Kofi says it was an amazing feeling to go back home and see a young child and tell him that he can do what he did. As Kofi is talking, out comes Dolph Ziggler to interrupt.

Dolph Ziggler tells Kofi that he is an absolute inspiration. And if this were Friday at Super ShowDown, he would be in the ring beating him up but he respects him too much. His sacrifices and journey. But this isn’t about Kofi, this is about why he is the way he is. Ziggler says it’s about him. We see a video of Dolph’s WWE career. Ziggler says he gave his soul to WWE. Ziggler goes on to call Kofi a hero but the story should have been him.

Kofi says there’s one thing he seems to neglect as we cut to the giant screen. We go back to December 2017 where Ziggler forfeited his WWE United States championship. The fans chant “You walked out” to Dolph. Kofi tells him that he keeps saying it should have been him but if it should have been him, it would have been him. And it could have been him. But when things didn’t go his way, he did what he always did. He quit, walked out. That’s the difference between them. No matter how tough things were for Kofi, he never quit. Not on himself, his brothers or the WWE universe. The fans chant “Kofi” once again. He says he keeps saying it should have been him but at Super ShowDown, it won’t be him. And as long as he is WWE champion, it will never be him.

Dolph points to the giant screen as we cut to two weeks ago on Smackdown Live where Dolph attacked Kofi. Dolph says on Friday, it will be him as he drops the microphone and leaves.

In-Ring: Lars Sullivan

Kayla Braxton asks Sullivan what drives him to do what he does. Lars looks at Kayla and asks Kayla if she would ever ask a lion why they stalk their prey before sinking their teeth into flesh and viciously ripping it apart? Then why would she ever ask what drives a man like him. Because he has realized that he is no man, for his entire life, he has been described by one word. He asks Kayla if she knows what that word is and to say it. Kayla looks scared. Lars says he has been called that word his entire life, he can take it and to say it. Kayla says freak. Lars looks angry and says when a lion does what he does, they call it a lion. But when he does what he does, people use that word. His primary function is to hurt and dehumanize people. His function is to show people that the world isn’t full of rainbows, it’s full of pain, agony and a real life freak of nature like him.

Kayla asks if that’s what he hopes to show Lucha House Party at Super ShowDown. Lars laughs. He asks if she likes nursery rhymes and she nods her head. “Three blind mice, watch how they run.

He’s been waiting over 20 years to experience what it would be like in this ring, one on one with The Undertaker. Now, he finally gets the match he always wanted. He listened to The Undertaker on Raw and he made an interesting point. He stated that he did not want to share the ring with a family man Goldberg but the icon, ass kicking machine Goldberg that went 173-0 in WCW. He appreciates his advice and what it did was make a light switch in his head. He doesn’t want the family man Goldberg anywhere near The Undertaker because he would fall short. He left his ass at home.

Goldberg says on Friday, he can guarantee The Undertaker that he will get the Goldberg that he watched for 20 years. The one where he wonders how he stacks up against. He will get that ass kicking Goldberg that he asked for because Friday, once and for all, we will all find out who the better man is. Because Undertaker, you’re next to rest in peace.

The Undertaker’s bell is heard as the lights go out in the arena.

The lights go back on and The Undertaker is gone. Goldberg laughs and grabs the microphone. Goldberg says that’s it, Friday night it is.
