A KO Show segment is also official for Tuesday’s SmackDown, with AJ Styles and Randy Orton appearing on Kevin Owens’ talk show. The segment will be the final build to Styles vs. Orton at WrestleMania.
Tuesday’s SmackDown is taking place at the Royal Farms Arena in Baltimore, Maryland. It will also feature a contract signing for Daniel Bryan and Kofi Kingston’s WWE Championship match at WrestleMania.
