It is now official. Drew McIntyre and Damian Priest will go one-on-one at WrestleMania 41 next weekend in Las Vegas.

There was some mild concern online this week regarding the status of The Scottish Warrior after he was slammed onto a car windshield by Priest a couple of weeks back. McIntyre has been sporting a patch after claiming to have gotten glass in his eye, but he is now good to go for the 'Showcase of the Immortals.'

SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis made that announcement Thursday afternoon in a video posted to social media.

Don't think for one second that Nick Aldis has forgotten about the RKO he received from Randy Orton last week on SmackDown.

Aldis is promising that The Viper's actions will be addressed, but that a video on the WrestleMania 41 X account was not the manner in which that would be done.

Randy Orton suddenly finds himself without a match in Las Vegas. Kevin Owens has been ruled medically unable to compete due to a neck injury that will require surgery. Will Aldis find him a new opponent? Could it be Aldis himself? Hopefully we find out more information Friday night on SmackDown.
