Welcome to 411’s WWE Smackdown Report 3.19.15

* We get highlights from the awesome Brock Lesnar sit down interview from Raw.

* Roman Reigns makes his way to the ring. Reigns says it is good to see the crowd and names the city for the Foley like cheap pop (YEAH!). He says that Lesnar and Heyman can intimidate him… And just as he says that Mark Henry is out. He says he came out here last week to see just what Reigns had in the ring. And Reigns really showed him something. If you didn’t see what happened, well Henry runs the footage from last week… After we see the footage, Reigns looks impressed with himself. Henry says he got what he deserved, and that he thinks at WrestleMania he expects Reigns to win and will put his money on him beating Lesnar; because Reigns can and he will. They shake hands to the delight of the crowd.

Seth Rollins and Kane, along with J&J Security make their way out and Kane mocks the entire segment. Kane asks when Henry became a self-help guru, because he can’t seriously believe that Reigns will win. Rollins holds up the case and says anything can happen at WrestleMania. They are out here because everyone is bussing since Rollins accepted Orton’s match at Mania, and then adds that Orton will not be here tonight. And he won’t because J&J have secured the building, so Orton won’t get in tonight. Rollins says that this is for Orton’s own good, because when he gets face to face with him; he will humiliate him at Mania. But tonight, Rollins wants a tune up. I think we all know where this segment is leading…

Kane announces himself and Rollins vs. Reigns and Henry for tonight’s main event.
