WrestleMania 37. Staff members received credit for a correct prediction of the winner of any match, even if they were wrong about the context of that victory.
The WWE Women s Tag Team titles will be on the line on next Friday s episode of SmackDown.
WWE has announced that Women s Tag Team Champions Nia Jax & Shayna Baszler will defend their titles against Natalya & Tamina on SmackDown next Friday. Natalya & Tamina defeated Jax & Baszler in a non-title match on SmackDown last week.
On tonight s Throwback edition of SmackDown, Tamina vs. Reginald ended in a disqualification when Jax pulled Reginald out of the ring and Baszler pushed Tamina off the top rope as Tamina was going for a splash. Jax and Baszler then laid out Tamina and Natalya after the match. Baszler stomped on Tamina s elbow and Jax gave Tamina a Samoan Drop into the barricade.
Tonight s Throwback SmackDown is a special retro episode and continues the build to WrestleMania Backlash.
Last week, Universal Champion Roman Reigns defeated Daniel Bryan to retain his title and banish Bryan from SmackDown. Bryan s WWE contract legitimately expired last Friday at midnight.
After the match, Reigns went to give Bryan a con-chair-to, but Cesaro made the save. Cesaro beat down Reigns but was eventually tied up in the ropes after being attacked by Jey Uso. Reigns then gave Bryan a con-chair-to as Cesaro was powerless to help Bryan.
Cesaro goes one-on-one with Seth Rollins tonight. Cesaro defeated Rollins at WrestleMania 37 last month, but Rollins has continued to target Cesaro since. Rollins was offended that Cesaro wants a Universal title shot and promised him that their feud isn t over.
This Monday night on Raw, the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions will defend against Lana & Naomi. Champions for seven of the last eight months, The Irresistible Force and The Queen of Spades have decimated practically all challengers in their path. However, Naomi, a two-time SmackDown Women’s Champion, knows what it takes to win a title, while Lana may be on a precipice of a breakthrough win after nearly pinning Raw Women s Champion Rhea Ripley in a Six-Woman Tag Team Match last week. Will we see new champions crowned? Or will Jax & Baszler steamroll the competition once again? Catch this match at more on Raw this Monday night at 8/7 C on USA Network
