Happy WrestleMania eve! WrestleMania Goes Hollywood this weekend, so fittingly, the SmackDown before the bonanza begins takes place from the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, California. As is custom for the past couple of years, the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal, once a WrestleMania tradition, is now taking place the night before on what’s been dubbed WrestleMania SmackDown. Also, Drew McIntyre vs. Sheamus take on Imperium before they face off against their Ring General at the Show of Shows, and Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns will have one final face-to-face before their Undisputed WWE Universal Championship showdown. Let’s take a look at everything announced for WrestleMania SmackDown:
