“We are kicking things off on USA and around the world on Netflix with the winner of the Men’s Elimination Chamber and number one contender for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania, Randy Orton. That will kick things off live tonight. Also, you saw last week new Women’s Tag Team Champions crowned in the Irresistible Forces. Nia Jax and Lash Legend. Tonight, they have an in-ring celebration and one can only assume what that will entail,” Aldis said.

Nick Aldis further announced a Gauntlet Match for the show to determine the number one contenders for the WWE Tag Team Championship. The veteran disclosed that Cody Rhodes would challenge Drew McIntyre for the Undisputed WWE Championship in the main event.

“Also, while we’re on the subject of tag teams, Tag Team Turmoil is tonight on SmackDown. The very best tag teams here on the blue brand will duke it out in a gauntlet-style match to determine the number one contenders. And finally, the main event that the world is talking about, Drew McIntyre will defend the WWE Championship against Cody Rhodes,” Aldis added.

Rhea Ripley will also be on WWE SmackDown

After winning the Women’s Elimination Chamber Match, Rhea Ripley will challenge Jade Cargill for the WWE Women’s Championship on The Grandest Stage of Them All.

Earlier this week on Monday Night RAW, Rhea Ripley and IYO SKY officially confirmed that they will no longer be a tag team. While the Japanese star will focus on an upcoming opportunity to challenge for the WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship, the Aussie will move to SmackDown to build her WrestleMania clash against Jade Cargill.

Rhea Ripley and Jade Cargill were involved in an online spat earlier this week. It will be interesting to see how they deal with it face-to-face on the blue brand.
