The penultimate WWE SmackDown before WrestleMania takes place on April 3 with the fallout from the previous week being the main focus of the show.
Randy Orton continued his rampage on last week’s show, which featured an RKO on singer Jelly Roll. Orton is expected to receive a warm welcome on the show, as it will emanate from his home town of St. Louis, Missouri. However, with Cody Rhodes also set to be in attendance, The American Nightmare looks to spoil the party. Additionally, it is expected that the person who Orton has been talking with on the phone over the past few weeks is set to be revealed.
Rhea Ripley has been on the receiving end of multiple attacks by Jade Cargill over the past few weeks, which has also seen the Women’s Champion join forces with Michin and B-Fab. WWE is advertising Ripley to appear live to respond to the latest attacks.
Additionally, the build to Drew McIntyre and Jacob Fatu’s unsanctioned match will continue.
At the time of writing, no matches have been announced for the show. However, General Manager Nick Aldis will likely provide an update shortly before showtime.
