On the eve of WrestleMania, WWE's SmackDown gathered its storytellers in San Jose to tie loose threads and sharpen rivalries — a ritual as old as spectacle itself.

Yet the evening also reminded us that even the grandest stages can be undermined by a single misfired performance, and that heat without authenticity is merely noise.
