Friday Night Smackdown this week comes to us from The CajunDome in Lafayette, Louisiana. And we kick things off with Big Show making his way out to the ring. Paul Heyman then comes out and says he stands before the WWE Universe as the advocate for the winner of the first ever Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal, the King Of Swing, Antonio Cesaro. Cesaro then comes out and Heyman says it's no longer a theory or claim but a proven fact that he is the greatest manager in WWE or sports entertainment history. He engineered Brock Lesnar conquering The Undertaker's undefeated streak and when you're the Brock Lesnar's advocate, you pick and choose clients very carefully. They must be a sure thing.

We are back from break and John Cena makes his way out to the ring. Cena takes the mic and says it's been a pretty busy and exhausting week. It started with Wrestlemania 30. And Wrestlemania 30 started with the most iconic moment he's ever seen. Rock, Hulk Hogan and Stone Cold Steve Austin in the ring together. Cena rhymed off some more Wrestlemania moments from last Sunday night such as Kofi Kingston avoiding elimination, Bray Wyatt unsuccessfully try to turn Cena into a monster, and the end of The Undertaker's undefeated streak. But on the flipside, The Game got played and we have a new WWE World Heavyweight Champion. That was just Wrestlemania, if anyone saw Monday Night Raw however that;s where it really went down. They turned silver into super, believed in The Shield, got some bad news and found out Brock Lesnar is the one. And Cesaro's now a Paul Heyman guy. He then thanks the WWE Universe for re-writing his theme music. They said the future is now and Cena agrees and plugs the new NXT superstars and Diva that have been called up to the main roster and says the future is now and it is an exciting time to be in the WWE as there are so many promising superstars. Cena then makes a promise of his own. He's not the one, The Viper, The Animal, The King Of Swing or The Boss. He is the measuring stick and the standard bearer. He is John Cena and any WWE superstar can talk all they want but past, present or future if they want their feet firmly planted on the top of the WWE mountain they have to go through him to do it. Rowan and Harper appear on the screen and Harper says they say time heals all wounds but unfortunately for Cena he's only given them more time to hurt him and tells Cena to embrace his future. It's Wyatt's gift to him. Wyatt walks in and says sometimes he wishes he could feel pain but he's different and they should all embrace their differences. For instance, if Bray Wyatt lost to Cena at Wrestlemania then why can't he stop smiling? And why does he feel so good? Wyatt says he saw in Cena's eyes and for the first time he realized Cena is not hollow. It's inside of Cena and he knows it all too well because when Wyatt looks inside himself he sees the good, he sees the bad, he sees everything. He sees dreams Cena hasn't dreamed, worlds Cena hasn't discovered, he sees miracles. His mind is endless and he is free. Wyatt says Cena must have been frightened. He was right there and all he needed was one last little push and now he realizes he has to go to new extremes if he wants to bring out the monster that he knows exists inside Cena and tells him to strap it on because this party is far from over.

Hogan says as host of Wrestlemania he was at the SuperDome when he witnessed one of the greatest Wrestlemania moments of all time.

He's back on Smackdown after 5 weeks, he's getting married and he just main evented Wrestlemania 30 and became the new WWE World Heavyweight Champion.

He's just an average guy from a small town and sat in the same seats and watched the same TVs and calls Hogan the biggest superstar in the world. The crowd started a Hogan chant and Hogan started doing the Yes motion but Bryan told Hogan not to try and deflect them. They're doing that because they want to. Because they're just like Bryan. He listened to every single word Hogan said. When Hogan said to say your prayers, Bryan would pray every night that he'd main event Wrestlemania just like Hulk Hogan. When Hogan said to take your vitamins he took his vitamins every day to try to get the 24 inch pythons just like Hogan. He's not quite there yet but he's working on it and Bryan says he's been a Hulk-a-maniac for as long as he can remember. And calls this moment incredibly special but there's one thing that could make this awesome week a little better. There's one thing he's always wanted to see live in the ring and asks for Hogan's music to play and Hogan starts posing for the crowd. Bryan then joins Hogan
