Graham "GSM" Matthews kicks off this week's Friday Night SmackDown review with a bit of breaking news regarding Roman Reigns' status for WWE WrestleMania 36. Has he pulled out of the event as has been rumored and was he justified in doing so? And who should replace him against Goldberg for the Universal Championship? He runs down a list of everyone not currently slated to appear at the Show of Shows for a variety of reasons and why this 'Mania is shaping up to be one of the most bizarre of all-time.

Upon getting into his review of Friday's show, GSM discusses the Six-Pack Challenge for the SmackDown Women's Championship becoming a Fatal 5-Way, the pairing of Daniel Bryan and Drew Gulak being a blast, Dolph Ziggler vs. Otis being made official for WrestleMania, King Corbin essentially killing Elias and how it differed from "Broken" Matt Hardy "teleporting" on Wednesday's AEW Dynamite, Nikki Cross on commentary, the replay of Roman Reigns vs. Triple H from WrestleMania 32 being a poor choice, who The Miz and John Morrison will face for the SmackDown Tag Team Championship at WrestleMania, and more!

Stuck quarantined at home with nothing to do? Graham "GSM" Matthews has you covered! WrestleRant Radio features a full WWE Network playlist of everything you need to see on the streaming service during these trying times. But first, he discusses WrestleMania 36 being pre-taped this week, latest additions to the card, Superstars who are apparently in quarantine and won't be a part of the event, and why you need to see Dark Side of the Ring's Chris Benoit documentary.

From there, GSM gets into this week's editions of WWE Raw, NXT and AEW Dynamite and gives his thoughts on adjustments made to Raw compared to last week, more pay-per-view matches being replayed, why the strong mic work highlighted the episode, AJ Styles challenging The Undertaker to a "boneyard match," why Andrade and Angel Garza make for a great tag team, Seth Rollins and Randy Orton cutting some of the best promos of their entire careers, Kenny Omega defending the AAA Mega Championship against Sammy Guevara, the face-off between "Broken" Matt Hardy and Chris Jericho, what's happening with NXT TakeOver: Tampa, Io Shirai returning and the debuts of Malcolm Bivens' new tag team and Killer Kross.

Stay tuned until the end of the episode for GSM's full WWE Network playlist of every pay-per-view, show and documentary you should check out on the Network!

It was another empty arena show from WWE on Friday night with SmackDown, and despite AEW Dynamite making the most of the unfortunate circumstances on Wednesday night, the blue brand was back to business as usual. Graham "GSM" Matthews shares his thoughts on WWE's upcoming shows potentially being taped in advance (including WrestleMania 36), why they should have switched up the stagnant format, Rob Gronkowski's debut and him making King Corbin vs. Elias official for WrestleMania, Daniel Bryan and Drew Gulak teaming up against Shinsuke Nakamura and Cesaro, what the Intercontinental Championship match looks to be at WrestleMania, Paige announcing a Six-Pack Challenge for the SmackDown Women's Championship at 'Mania and why Tamina being involved is a complete joke, Otis going berserk, The Miz and John Morrison's WrestleMania opponents being determined next week, Roman Reigns and Goldberg signing the contract for their Universal Championship clash, and more!

Before getting into the latest updates concerning the coronavirus and how it's affecting the wrestling world, Graham "GSM" Matthews opens WrestleRant Radio with his thoughts on Alberto Del Rio claiming he's close to returning to WWE... and why that would be a terrible idea. He then gets into COVID-19 forcing WWE to change plans for WrestleMania 36 and the decision to hold the event at the Performance Center over the span of two days, why it's a smart move, filming it from multiple locations, what matches will air when, why Rob Gronkowski is the perfect host for the pay-per-view, and more wrestling shows and events being postponed/canceled.

GSM also has plenty to say about what might happen with what was supposed to be NXT TakeOver: Tampa, Jushin "Thunder" Liger entering the WWE Hall of Fame (whenever that may be), the unique approach NXT took to Wednesday's episode, quick thoughts on Monday's Raw, Edge challenging Randy Orton to a Last Man Standing match at WrestleMania, the entire men's Royal Rumble being replayed and what could air instead, why Stone Cold Steve Austin's return fell flat, AEW delivering a delightful episode of Dynamite despite no fans being in the building, the hype for Blood and Guts, Brodie Lee being revealed as The Exalted One, "Broken" Matt Hardy's highly anticipated debut at the end, and more!
