Four matches announced for next WWE SmackDown
WWE has announced four matches for the Friday, March 29 SmackDown.
Following up on an angle from this week’s show where Damage CTRL beat down Bianca Belair & Naomi, Belair will go one-on-one with Dakota Kai on next week’s episode.
Belair attempted to save Naomi from a four-on-one attack at the hands of Damage CTRL on Friday’s SmackDown, but ultimately fell victim to the numbers game and Damage CTRL stood tall to end the segment.
A tag team bout with Randy Orton & Kevin Owens teaming against Pretty Deadly’s Elton Prince & Kit Wilson is also set for next week. All four were involved in a backstage promo segment on Friday’s SmackDown, with Owens attacking Pretty Deadly. Orton & Owens will challenge Logan Paul for the United States Championship at WrestleMania 40 in a triple threat match.
