The blue brand is under the bright lights tonight as WWE SmackDown is live from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, NV. We’re just over one week away from WrestleMania, so every show is of the utmost importance. Let’s take a look at everything announced for tonight’s SmackDown:
Rey Mysterio vs. LA Knight
WWE’s official preview:
LA Knight has been running his mouth in recent weeks in an attempt to get to WrestleMania. As he puts it, there can be no WrestleMania in LA without LA Knight.
This past week, Knight caught the ire of Rey Mysterio after admonishing him for how he’s dealing with his son, Dominik. The Master of the 619 did not take kindly to Knight’s words, challenging him to a match the next week.
With Mysterio’s family drama getting more turbulent, can Mysterio take down Knight, or will Knight prove his case to be at The Showcase of the Immortals?
Cody Rhodes vs. Ludwig Kaiser
WWE’s official preview:
On WWE SmackDown Lowdown this past Saturday, Cody Rhodes ran into Imperium’s Ludwig Kaiserand Giovanni Vinci, with Kaiser taking umbrage from Rhodes’ Royal Rumble victory.
Kaiser claimed Gunther should’ve won that match, prompting The American Nightmare to challenge Kaiser to a match this Friday.
Can Rhodes notch another victory on his road to challenging Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns at WrestleMania?
Dominik Mysterio confronts his family
WWE’s official preview:
After Rey Mysterio once agains refused to battle his son at The Showcase of the Immortals, an outraged Dominik Mysterio has vowed to turn up the heat on his legendary father and confront the entire Mysterio family when they appear on the blue brand in Las Vegas.
The last time a face-to-face between The Judgment Day member and his whole family was caught on camera was over the holiday season when Dominik got himself arrested.
What fireworks will take place on the turbulent Road to WrestleMania?
