Although the brand split between WWE Raw and WWE Smackdown is intact, there have been some regular cross-brand appearances within the WWE over the past few weeks. This has been the norm since the Wrestlemania 38 season as the show had a main event match involving the WWE and Universal Championships. Moving on at Wrestlemania Backlash 2022, another title unification program unfolded allowing more such cross-brand appearances.
This week’s WWE Smackdown will see more such appearances as per the recent updates. Several RAW Superstars are scheduled for tonight’s go-home WrestleMania Backlash go-home edition of the show on FOX from the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Uniondale, New York.

The WWE Events website and the arena have announced RAW Tag Team Champions RK-Bro (Randy Orton and Riddle) for a special appearance on the show. They likely will get involved for the final build to the WrestleMania Backlash main event, which will see Riddle, Randy Orton, and Drew McIntyre take on Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns and WWE SmackDown Tag Team Champions The Usos in a six-man tag team match in a non-title capacity.

Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins are also scheduled to appear at the WWE SmackDown taping as the host arena has them scheduled for a rematch. It appears that they could be locking horns in a rematch in the dark main event segment. The two are also booked for a TV rematch from Wrestlemania 38 at this weekend’s Wrestlemania Backlash PPV event. It should be noted that the two have been working on several dark matches, as of late.
No new official segments have been announced for this week’s WWE Smackdown but we believe that all the top superstars will be there to bring on the hypes for the upcoming Premium Live Event. Another marquee match’s build involving Charlotte Flair and Ronda Rousey should also be there.
Below is the currently announced line-up for the May 6 episode of WWE Smackdown:
* The go-home build for WrestleMania Backlash
* Shayna Baszler vs. WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion Sasha Banks
* The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods) vs. Ridge Holland and Sheamus in a Tables Match
