The final WWE SmackDown before WrestleMania 41, featuring John Cena’s return, a title match and more!
For the first time since his heel turn at Elimination Chamber, John Cena will appear live on WWE TV in North America. Just 2 days before his match against Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed Championship, Cena will once again address the fans ahead of the WrestleMania match, which will also be his last at The Show of Shows. Much like the previous Cena appearances, Cody Rhodes will also be at the show and is expected to interrupt the 16-time World Champion.
A title match will also take place on the show as The Street Profits will put their Tag Team Championships on the line against Motor City Machine Guns. With the title match taking place on SmackDown, this means that neither team will be in action on the WrestleMania card.
Now a part of the WrestleMania SmackDown, the Andre The Giant Battle Royal will also take place on the show wth the winner receiving the signature trophy.
The Hall of Fame ceremony will also take place shortly afterwards, which will see Triple H, Lex Luger, Michelle McCool and The Natural Disasters all inducted along with Bret Hart and Steve Austin’s WrestleMania 13 match being recognised as the first Immortal Moment. Kamala, Ivan Koloff and Dory Funk Sr. will also be inducted into the legacy wing.
