WWE has announced another match and segment for the WrestleMania 39 go-home edition of SmackDown on FOX.
Cody Rhodes and Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns will meet in the ring next Friday for one final showdown before their big title match at WrestleMania 39.
Tonight’s SmackDown saw Paul Heyman and Solo Sikoa interrupt Cody’s win after his win over Ludwig Kaiser. Heyman informed Rhodes that he has to wrestle Sikoa on Monday’s RAW, and that Reigns will be waiting for him on the go-home SmackDown.
There will also be tag team action next Friday as Sheamus and Drew McIntyre take on Kaiser and Giovanni Vinci of Imperium. WWE Intercontinental Champion GUNTHER will be at ringside with his stablemates.
Tonight’s SmackDown featured a heated contract signing that saw GUNTHER, McIntyre and Sheamus make their WrestleMania Triple Threat official. This led to GUNTHER beating Butch in singles action. After the match, Sheamus entered the ring to face-off with GUNTHER. McIntyre then rushed in with a Claymore Kick but Sheamus dodged it, and McIntyre laid GUNTHER out. McIntyre and Sheamus then ended the segment with a staredown.
