The Final Boss returns to Smackdown.
With WrestleMania 41 looming in the background, what will be The Rock’s purpose for tonight’s show? Though the former WWE Champion was previously on RAW and NXT, The Rock squashed his beef with Cody Rhodes and appointed Roman Reigns as the Tribal Chief. But the landscape is a bit different these days, especially with Bloodline 2.0 running amok and wreaking havoc. Will “The People’s Champ” gain a new rival heading into WrestleMania 41? Or will this be a huge announcement for an upcoming event?
For the WWE Tag Team titles, Pretty Deadly will get their shot against DIY’s Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa. The challengers were tired of doing the champs dirty work and feel that they have a good chance at winning those prestigious belts. However, this isn’t Gargano and Ciampa’s first rodeo; DIY have won the tag titles three times in WWE, so both men understand every trick in the book when it comes to tag team wrestling. With their experience and knowledge, will Pretty Deadly pull off a massive upset and capture the WWE Tag Team titles for the first time in their careers?
In a huge six man tag team match, The Undisputed Champion will team with Damian Priest and Braun Strowman to take on Bloodline 2.0. Cody’s been dealing with the vicious group for over a year now, so he knows how to beat the new Bloodline. However, after Solo’s shocking loss to Roman Reigns, the faction just hasn’t been the same. Fatu and Tonga have been running roughshod throughout the Smackdown locker room; breaking bodies and forcing wrestlers to leave out on stretchers in the past several weeks.
But there’s been some tension brewing between Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu; however, the mission is clear for both men: take out Cody Rhdoes. Will Sikoa, Fatu, and Tonga get the better of the Undisputed Champion tonight?
Check out the advertised matches below:
