Several Superstars will be looking to win the match and gain momentum ahead of WrestleMania 41, so fans are excited to see who will come out on top.
After almost three years, John Cena returns to WWE SmackDown this Friday night, days before his showdown with Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Champion on the night two main event of WrestleMania 41. Over the last month, John Cena and Cody Rhodes have said unimaginable things to one another. Rhodes is hell-bent on protecting the WWE Universe from Cena. On the other hand, Cena wants to tear down everything he felt like he built but was never appreciated for. The intensity reached a fever pitch when Cody Rhodes finally landed the first blow on John Cena on WWE Raw, laying him out with a Cross Rhodes.
After defeating Chelsea Green in controversial fashion last week, Zelina Vega will team up with Kayden Carter & Katana and duke it out with Chelsea Green, Alba Fyre & Piper Niven. Naturally, fans are looking forward to seeing who will pick up the win this time around. Following their hard-fought win over DIY, Motor City Machine Guns will be challenging the reigning WWE Tag Team Champions, The Street Profits. The match is sure to be a memorable one so we’ll have to wait and see if Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins will be able to retain their titles. The Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal is dedicated to one of, if not, the best giant in WWE history. As such, it’s only fitting that a lot of heavy-hitters compete in the match every year, and big-time names win the whole thing. The likes of Matt Hardy, Bronson Reed, Jey Uso, and of course, “The Monster of All Monsters” Braun Strowman, to name a few.
