WWE taped the March 12, 2015 edition of Thursday Night SmackDown on Tuesday night from Detroit, and the episode features movement in the Intercontinental Championship picture, specifically with Daniel Bryan.
The show begins with Bryan, who announces he is officially part of the Ladder Match at WrestleMania 31 for the Intercontinental Championship. The other combatants in the match (Bad News Barrett, Dean Ambrose, Dolph Ziggler, R-Truth, Stardust, and Luke Harper) hit the ring and a brawl ensues. Because this is SmackDown, this sets up a tag team match for the main event.
Cesaro, Tyson Kidd, and Los Matadores defeat The Usos and The New Day in an eight-man tag team match when Los Matadores pull the old switcheroo for the pin.
Ryback defeats The Miz. A backstage segment airs prior to this in which Damien Mizdow tells Miz that he should be concerned about Ryback, but Miz dismisses him. Mizdow is not at ringside for the match.
Roman Reigns comes out to cut a promo, but Mark Henry returns to interrupt him. He tells Reigns that he needs to earn more respect, and Reigns promptly spears The World's Strongest Man through the barricade.
Paige and AJ Lee defeat Summer Rae and Cameron. The Bella Twins are on commentary for the match, and they tease a fight after the bell rings, but it ends with Nikki Bella throwing her jacket at Paige.
Bryan, Ambrose, and Ziggler defeat Barrett, Stardust, and Harper in the main event when Bryan pins Harper.
