Solomonster opted to review WWE Smackdown and AEW Rampage for April 1st instead of watching the ROH Supercard of Honor show, and quickly realized that he made a terrible mistake. It's a WrestleMania-edition of Smackdown with this year's Andre the Giant Memorial "Budget Cuts" Battle Royal, and the Intercontinental title being defended because it has developed a sudden allergy to the actual Mania card. On Rampage, it's a hoss fight between Keith Lee and Powerhouse Hobbs.
