Mysterio-Andrade two-out-of-three falls, Joe-Ali set for SmackDown
Two matches have been made official for Tuesday’s episode of SmackDown.
After their highly-regarded match from this week, Rey Mysterio and Andrade’s feud will continue on Tuesday. There will be an added stipulation this time, with Mysterio and Ali set to face off in a two-out-of-three falls match on SmackDown.
Andrade defeated Mysterio this week after a distraction from Zelina Vega. It was the second week in a row that Andrade has pinned Mysterio. On January 8, Andrade & Samoa Joe defeated Mysterio & Mustafa Ali in a tag match.
Joe vs. Ali has also been announced for Tuesday’s SmackDown. That was set up by an angle on this week’s show where Joe attacked Ali and laid him out before a match between them could get started.
Tuesday’s SmackDown is taking place at INTRUST Bank Arena in Wichita, Kansas. It’s the go-home show for the Royal Rumble, and Mysterio, Andrade, Joe, and Ali have all been announced as entrants for the men’s Royal Rumble match.
