The March 13 episode of Friday Night SmackDown will build towards WrestleMania 42. That’s why WWE has put together a solid lineup to keep fans entertained from the start of the show. Tonight’s WWE SmackDown promises to deliver high drama and storylines that will keep fans on the edge of their seats. With appearances from Trick Williams and more, it’s bound to be a show you won’t want to miss. WWE SmackDown will air from the Mortgage Matchup Center in Phoenix, starting at 8 PM ET
Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton will come face-to-face for a contract signing to officially finalize their WrestleMania 42 for the Undisputed WWE Championship. Considering their history, we’ll have to see what will happen during the segment. Jelly Roll confirmed in a video message that he will be live on SmackDown this week to see both Randy Orton and Cody Rhodes. With WrestleMania 42 approaching, it remains to be seen whether WWE will have something planned for him at the event. After a tense backstage confrontation on SmackDown, Jade Cargill and Michin are now set to square off against each other in a singles match this week. So fans are waiting to see how the bout will turn out, since Michin is obviously looking for revenge.
This past week’s WWE SmackDown saw the “American Nightmare” Cody Rhodes once again climb the top of the mountain, as he became a three-time Undisputed WWE Champion. While that win is amazing in and of itself, Rhodes has barely enough room to breathe. Now that he’s champion again, he needs to get back into the thick of things, specifically, facing his former mentor and best friend, the “Viper” Randy Orton, at WrestleMania 42 for the Undisputed WWE Championship. For many, Rhodes has always had this hesitation when it comes to pulling the proverbial “trigger.” On the flipside, Randy Orton has made it clear, friend or foe, that he will do anything to secure his 15th world championship. When Randy won the Elimination Chamber, we saw that it doesn’t matter who you are, if you’re in the way, Orton’s going to get you out by any means necessary. This week, the brand new Undisputed WWE Champion and the “Apex Predator” put pen to paper to make it official for Las Vegas. That said, we know both men will not just sign and walk away; we are going to have strong words exchanged.
