The March 20 episode of WWE Friday Night SmackDown kicked off with the host of WrestleMania 36 Rob Gronkowski who was introduced to the empty WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida, by his best friend, Mojo Rawley.
Gronk spoke about being a WWE fan all of his life and being excited to host WrestleMania, even if it would be in front of nobody. King Corbin would interrupt him and note that he also had experience in the NFL, but now that he's here, Gronkowski should bow down to him.

Gronkowski would say that he doesn't get on his knees for anybody and he would stare down with Baron Corbin before being interrupted by Elias who has had his problems with Corbin in recent weeks.
The entire segment led to the schoolyard tactic of Rob Gronkowski pushing over Baron Corbin with Mojo Rawley down on all fours to hurt him over. Elias would then enter the ring to throw out Baron Corbin and Gronkowski, who is the host of WrestleMania, ordered that Elias and Corbin have a match during the two-night event.
That match has yet to be made official and it is unclear if it is beneficial what night it will take place on. Fightful will update the story with any and all new information.
