Top WWE Smackdown Superstars Brock Lesnar and Ronda Rousey are booked to appear on this week’s episode as the main attractions as Road to Wrestlemania 38 runs in full force.
Another top superstar Sasha Banks will be in action in a singles contest in the only announced match of the night. Plus, The New Day will begin a new feud with a heel team when this week’s WWE Smackdown airs from the Legacy Arena in Birmingham, Alabama.
This past weekend’s live event from Madison Square Garden had a main event on the show where Brock Lesnar successfully defended his WWE Title against Raw Superstar Austin Theory. Once the match was over, Lesnar was attacked by his Wrestlemania opponent Roman Reigns. Lesnar did fight out Reigns and The Usos but then he cornered Paul Heyman at the turnbuckle, allowing Reigns to hit him in the back with a steel chair.

Reigns then used the chair and the steel ring steps to cover up Lesnar with blood. He also delivered a Rock Bottom finisher on the steps and concluded the show with Reigns standing over Lesnar by holding both the WWE and Universal title belts.
Massive fallouts from that bygone event are expected on tonight’s WWE Smackdown where Brock Lesnar is advertised to make an appearance. The Beast is irate about the bygones from the WWE MSG happening and he must be coming after the WWE Universal Champion to fire back.
