United States Champion Samoa Joe looked to pick up steam ahead of WrestleMania in a bout against Ali on SmackDown LIVE.
Ali brought the fight to Joe, pushing the pace against the United States Champion, but when a critical mishap saw Ali eat canvas on a 450 Splash, Joe capitalized by locking in the Coquina Clutch and proving that beyond a shadow of a doubt, he was ready for The Show of Shows.
