WrestleMania Rematch & Segment Announced For Smackdown

April 8, 2020 69 By Tim Jarrell

A WrestleMania championship rematch is taking place this Friday.

This Friday will be the first show for the blue brand since last weekend’s two night WrestleMania. With that WWE has announced two things so far for the show in the form of a segment and a title match.

First off WWE announced that the new Universal Champion Braun Strowman will be on the show to usher in his new reign.

The Monster Among Men earned a career-changing win at WrestleMania and heads to SmackDown to usher in his new reign as Universal Champion.

Braun Strowman fought off not one, not two, not three, but four vicious spears before delivering four consecutive Running Powerslams and conquering WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg at The Show of Shows for the title.

What will the future hold for Strowman now that he carries the crown of Universal Champion? Will a new challenger step up and run the risk of getting THOSE hands?

WWE also announced a championship rematch from WrestleMania. At WrestleMania Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross defeated the Kabuki Warriors to become two-time WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions. The duo will have to defend their titles on Smackdown against the women they took the titles from.

Alexa Bliss & Nikki Cross backed up their claim as deserving Women’s Tag Team Champions with a hard-fought victory against The Kabuki Warriors at WrestleMania 36. Now the two-time champions will have to turn around and prove it all over again.

Bliss & Cross will face Asuka & Kairi Sane in a rematch of the thrilling battle at The Showcase of the Immortals.
