SmackDown!: March 30, 2040

Lisa Benton is here to announce that there will be a series of Beat the Clock matches starting on Raw this Monday, continuing on Superstars and culminating on next week's SmackDown! The winner with the fastest time from these matches will be the number one contender to the Unified World Title and receive their championship match at Backlash's main event. Also, tonight's main event will pit the team of Haven and Noah Carmichael against Xavier Cross and Quentin McDaniels.

First Match: Moses McKay and Clubber Harris vs. Seth Von Kamp and Kerry Cemenko
Continuing the carnage from Money in the Bank and the feud between McKay and Von Kamp, the heels get the duke here when McKay beats Von Kamp to the ring for a countout win. 88% overall.

Faith Connors comes out to join us and brings up the reward that Lisa Benton had promised her on Raw. Benton said that's up to Connors and to be honest it's been keeping her up, thinking just what would be the sweetest, most satisfying thing to ask for. Maybe a final grudge match against Jenna Kyle to finally settle things? Maybe being able to headline WrestleMania next year? Maybe a guaranteed Hall of Fame induction? All things that would bring a smile to her face and a warmth to her heart but nothing is more desirable than being able to become the WWE Women's champion for a sixth time.

Jenna Kyle comes out to object to this. Jenna argues the case for a match against her. She knows how their last one-on-one encounter ended really stuck in the craw of Connors and that she's never been able to let it go. Yes, there was some measure of retribution at WrestleMania but the two of them were really just pawns in a larger game. The two of them have their own business. Connors interjects and questions Jenna's sudden eagerness to face her. Could it be that she doesn't want Faith to become champion and knows she wouldn't be able to take it away. Jenna laughs that off and dares Faith to challenge Braddock and see how it works out.

Naomi Bailley, the Queen of the Ring, comes out to object to Jenna's objecting. The only real victim here is Naomi herself she claims. She turns her attention to Faith and states that as her Queen she demands that Faith offer a chance for Naomi to win the favor that Benton has granted her so she can take her rightful place as Women's Champion. Connors claims that Naomi isn't owed anything. Jenna agrees and brings up that Naomi is face-to-face with two Queens of the Ring, one of whom is a back-to-back winner. Naomi isn't impressed with either of them and that her own legacy will eclipse theirs. Faith gets in her face and says she'll have to wait a little longer. Naomi shoves Faith away and Jenna responds by knocking Faith down. Before things get too messy Sonya Braddock runs down to break things up.

Second Match: The Dillingers (Ben and Joey) vs. The Academy (Randy Ellis and Justin Mitchell)
The tag team champions, The Future Foundation screw up a run-in here and allow The Dillingers to get the win here. The Play Pals run down to save. 93% overall.

Third Match: Brandon Reigns vs. Zachary Vale
Just a match to give Reigns a win as part of his Money in the Bank push. 88% overall.

Fourth Match: Phoebe Hanson vs. Kelley Hayes
Hayes is on the chopping block so the outcome shouldn't be in doubt. A final rub to give to an up-and-comer in Hanson. 92% overall

Backstage, Martyn LaSalle brings up Quentin McDaniels. LaSalle may have had his plate full with other matters but he hasn't forgot the issue between the two of them prior to WrestleMania. He brings up that Benton has informed LaSalle that he is among the first set of participants in the Beat the Clock challenge. LaSalle wants McDaniels to watch and learn.

Fifth Match: The Morris Cousins (Chet and Lyle) vs. The British Infection (Adrian Gallagher and Nate Exley)
A reunion of sorts for the Morris Cousins as they had been separated during the three-way roster split. Their chemistry hasn't been lost as they get the win here. 95% overall.

Sixth Match: The Agents of Change (Clayton North and Corey Mattis) vs. Mean & Greene (Caleb Green and Lonny Richards)
Michael Hotbody just refuses to stop being a douche, having learned nothing from Aphrodite's rejection on Superstars and comes down to proposition her again. Greene has had enough of this shit and chases Hotbody around the ring and over the barrier but all this does is allow the Agents to fuck up Richards and get the win. 89% overall.

Seventh Match: WWE Cruiserweight Champion Jordan Demiras vs. Luis Ortega
Just a match to give a bump for the champion. Afterwards, Josh Matthews informs everyone from the announce booth that he's just been informed by Lisa Benton that Raw will open up with a 30-man Rumble to determine the number one contender for the Cruiserweight Title at Backlash! 91% overall.

MAIN EVENT: WWE Unified World Champion Noah Carmichael and Haven vs. Quentin McDaniels and Xavier Cross
A back-and-forth affair that unfortunately ends with miscommunication on the face side that leads to McDaniels sneaking a pinfall win over Carmichael. This doesn't go over too well with the champion. 91% overall.

Overall show rating: 91%
