\nJohn Cena welcomes us to the first Smackdown of 2016. He’s excited about the title matches, but points out that the US Title isn’t on the line. He then introduces Alberto Del Rio.<\/p>\n

Del Rio tells Cena that he doesn’t deserve another title shot. Cena pumps up the crowd for a US Title match. Del Rio refuses to budge. He won’t put the title up, but he says he will fight anyone. Anyone except Cena. Cena has an idea for an opponent. He introduces Kalisto.<\/p>\n

Del Rio thinks it’s funny and won’t even look at Kalisto at first. Del Rio shoves Kalisto. Kalisto responds with a kick and a ref enters the ring.<\/p>\n
