What's going on, ladies and gentlemen?
My name is Josiah Williams and this is by far the weirdest Friday
the 13th that I've ever experienced in my life, not a joke.
Friday Night Smackdown is here at the WWE Performance Center.
I wish I could even explain to you what is happening today.
I can't, I just cannot do it.
So we're gonna have the superstars of Friday Night Smackdown do it for me.
Why not?
Let's do it.
Kayla Braxton.
>> Hello. >> How are you?
>> I'm fantastic, it's weird being on this side of the microphone.
>> Yeah, just trying something different.
>> [LAUGH] >> This is a new feel today.
>> I'm here for it.
>> How are you feeling about being in the building?
>> Well, it's the same as I am every week cuz it's Smack Down, it's first in,
last to leave.
But this is amazing how we're just, I mean, I watched NXT this Wednesday,
how we're turning the performance center into Smack Down.
It's amazing what this company can do when their back's against the wall.
I mean, as you explained the situation,
I think it's only logical that we have SmackDown here at the Performance Center.
It has everything you'd need to run an event.
You just saw that this Wednesday, with NXT for the first time.
>> Ladies and gentlemen,
[MUSIC]
It's the big dog, it's Roman Reigns.
How you doing, sir, how you doing?
>> I'm all right, man, are you nervous?
>> No, no, no, no, what I mean, it's just, it's is just, whoa,
you don't get to stand next to The Big Dog every day.
So I'm kind of just like taking this in.
>> It's gonna be interesting, because we feed off the crowd,
particularly The New Day, we are all about crowd participation.
>> We rely on the fans, you guys so much for that energy,
>> Honestly, I have no idea.
Your guess is as good as mine as how this is gonna go.
We ought to use our imaginations.
[LAUGH] >> Will pancakes be thrown?
>> Pancakes are always gonna be thrown.
We got a special pancake connoisseur here,
making sure that every pancake is up to snuff.
You know what I'm saying, meets the requirements.
>> The show must go on as Freddie Mercury said.
Queen, for any of you uneducated and young.
>> They go through a rigorous inspection,
these pancakes dude, before we give them out to the people.
A lot of them don't make it, but we wanna make sure they have the highest-quality
pancakes cuz that's our thing.
We pancake guys.
>> It's just a handful of talent, cuz you be quiet, I am shooting right now, sorry.
You know what I'm saying?
But that's what's cool about this.
So you got a little scared, I just playing around, you know?
>> Washing your hands, it's crucial, it's important.
There is a thing going on where everyone says you should have a song in your head
for 20 or 30 seconds as you're washing your hands.
So what song does Kayla Braxton sing or think about while washing her hands?
>> I do the alphabet twice.
>> Twice? >> Twice, twice.
>> I mean, honestly, I'm singing the entire new Jay Electronica album
right now cuz all of it is stuck in my mind.
>> The Jeopardy sound when you have to think of an answer,
that's about 20 seconds long.
It's like [SOUND] Yeah, I'd love to do the whole thing.
>> If you can hold Rousseff day for 20 seconds, Rouseff D.
[MUSIC]
Then you're good to go.
>> Mm-mm, boom.
>> Washing my hands hands cuz I wanna stay clean.
Come on, wash your hands cuz we wanna stay clean.
Wash your hands cuz we wanna stay clean, yes sir.
>> A Roman Reigns original right here at the WWE PC.
[MUSIC]
In the midst of all the uncertainty in the midst of everything that's happening
today, we know that it's gonna be an amazing night here live
from the WWE Performance Center for Friday Night Smackdown.
From all of us here at WWE, be safe, wash your hands and tune in.
