WrestleMania 41 is right around the corner and WWE has already confirmed some of the biggest matches of the year for the show. Apart from the matches confirmed, numerous storylines are shaping up in time for The Grandest Stage of Them All, and WWE might have teased one on this week’s SmackDown.
Jacob Fatu has been among the top stars in the blue brand lately and has dominated everyone who had the misfortune of coming in his path. Solo Sikoa has subtly started acknowledging him as the leader of The New Bloodline, and WWE seemingly gave a big hint at his opponent for WrestleMania – Braun Strowman.
