WWE just added another match to tonight’s SmackDown lineup, giving the show even more momentum as WrestleMania 42 gets closer.
WWE announced that Rhea Ripley will face Mia Yim in singles action tonight. The match comes just days after Ripley was attacked by Jade Cargill, Michin, and B-Fab, making this feel like a direct continuation of that situation.
Ripley has been dealing with multiple threats at once, and stepping into the ring against Mia Yim tonight could easily lead to more chaos if the rest of the group gets involved again. With WrestleMania drawing closer, every move in this storyline is starting to carry more weight. This new match adds to what is already shaping up to be a packed episode of SmackDown.
Confirmed for tonight’s WWE SmackDown so far:
- Rhea Ripley vs. Mia Yim
- Sami Zayn set to address the crowd one week after winning the United States Championship
- Cody Rhodes scheduled to appear as he looks to spoil Randy Orton’s homecoming
- Rhea Ripley responding to last week’s attack by Jade Cargill, Michin, and B-Fab
- Drew McIntyre set to speak
- Jacob Fatu set to speak
With new matches still being announced and several major names appearing, tonight’s SmackDown is shaping up to play a key role in setting the tone for WrestleMania 42.
Do you think Rhea Ripley vs. Mia Yim will stay a one-on-one match tonight, or will Jade Cargill and the rest of the group get involved again before the night is over?
