WWE is advertising a segment involving one of its WrestleMania main events for SmackDown tonight.
The company is advertising CM Punk, Seth Rollins, and Roman Reigns for tonight’s episode at the Allstate Arena in Rosemont, Illinois, two weeks before they headline in one of the two WrestleMania 41 main events.
Last week’s contract signing in Italy included the announcement that the three-way match would serve as one of the main events, joining the Undisputed WWE Championship match between Cody Rhodes and John Cena.
Friday’s show will include the WWE debut of Rey Fenix with the company already selling masks of Fenix online. The former AEW performer was released from his contract in February with vignettes for the performer airing over the past month, leading to tonight’s arrival.
There have been three match announcements for SmackDown, including Braun Strowman facing Jacob Fatu for a shot at the U.S. title (the WWE site is no longer listing this as a Last Man Standing Match as it was promoted last week), a #1 contenders match scheduled between DIY and Motor City Machine Guns, and Naomi will take on B-Fab after last week’s attack by Naomi.
The last update from WrestleTix lists nearly 15,000 tickets distributed for the show.
Rewind-A-SmackDown with John Pollock & Wai Ting will be live at 11:05 p.m. ET on the POST Wrestling Café
