WWE Announces Title Match For SmackDown After WrestleMania, Spoiler On Additional Title Bout & More NXT Call-Ups (UPDATED)
The fallout from WrestleMania 42 goes down this evening in “The Lone Star State.”
Heading into the April 24 episode of WWE SmackDown, the first blue brand show following WrestleMania 42, nothing has been advertised.
Until now.
WWE announced on Friday afternoon that Tiffany Stratton will officially challenge Giulia for the WWE Women’s United States Championship on tonight’s SmackDown.
Also advertised for the show are appearances by Rhea Ripley, Trick Williams with Lil Yachty, Jacob Fatu, Paige and Brie Bella.
Additionally, one source is reporting that Damian Priest & R-Truth will be defending their WWE Tag-Team Championships on the show this evening.
Their opponents?
JC Mateo and Tama Tonga of The MFTs.
If that wasn’t enough, there has been rumors making the rounds that SmackDown After WrestleMania, much like Raw After WrestleMania, will feature some NXT call-ups.
Jacy Jayne and Blake Monroe have been mentioned as two of the names.
