A title change, Randy Orton addressed his actions from last week and more took place on the March 20 edition of WWE SmackDown.
Both sets of Tag Team Championships were at stake on the show as The Irresistible Forces put their titles on the line against The Bella Twins, along with R-Truth and Damian Preist challenging for the WWE Tag Titles.
Additionally, Randy Orton appeared live one week after his attack on Cody Rhodes, which left The American Nightmare a bloody mess when all was said and done.
Joe Tessitore and Wade Barrett were on commentary for the show.
