WWE News: Massive Matches Reportedly Added to Friday Night SmackDown In Memphis
It looks like tonight's episode of WWE SmackDown has gotten even more stacked.
Tonight's episode for the blue brand will be held inside the FedExForum in Memphis, Tennessee. "The People's Champion" The Rock will be making his way back to the place he calls "home." The Hollywood star and WWE legend first made his mark in the wrestling industry in Memphis, and there's no telling what "The Brahma Bull" has in store this evening.
If a new report is to be believed, there is a slew of high-profile matches to look out for with this week's edition of Friday Night SmackDown.
WrestleVotes reports that there are three unannounced matches set for the show tonight. Those reported matches are a singles clash, and two WrestleMania 40 tag team title qualifying matches.
The singles match will reportedly be Randy Orton vs. Grayson Waller. Pete Dunne and Tyler Bate of New Catch Republic vs. Pretty Deadly, and LWO vs. Legado Del Fantasma are the tag team qualifiers mentioned in the report.
WWE has yet to confirm these matches, but if the report holds true then they could be made official before SmackDown goes on the air. The tag team matches have big implications, as The Judgment Day will be defending their Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship against five other teams in a 6-Pack Ladder Match at WrestleMania XL.
The March 18 episode of Monday Night Raw features three tag team qualifying matches. Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods of The New Day will battle Alpha Academy's Otis and Akira Tozawa. Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa of DIY will take on the Creed Brothers. and The Miz and R-Truth will collide against Indus Sher.
