An unadvertised match planned for tonight’s WWE SmackDown has been revealed ahead of the WrestleMania 42 go-home show.
According to Bodyslam.net, an additional tag team match is expected to take place during the April 17 episode, even though WWE has not promoted the bout publicly. The match would see R-Truth and Damian Priest join forces to face Kofi Kingston and Grayson Waller.
“Sources indicated that R-Truth and Damian Priest will be in action against Kofi Kingston and Grayson Waller tonight on SmackDown.”
While WWE has already confirmed several matches and segments for the show, this reported tag team bout appears set to be a surprise addition for fans watching live.
Earlier changes to the lineup included the removal of the originally scheduled Women’s United States Championship match between Giulia and Tiffany Stratton. Instead, Stratton is now set to face Jordynne Grace in a No. 1 Contender’s Match, with the winner earning a future title opportunity against Giulia.
Here is the updated lineup for WWE SmackDown on April 17, 2026:
- Jordynne Grace vs Tiffany Stratton — No. 1 Contender’s Match for the Women’s United States Championship
- Alexa Bliss & Charlotte Flair vs Bayley & Lyra Valkyria
- Cody Rhodes Responds to Randy Orton
- Jacob Fatu Breaks Silence After Drew McIntyre Attack
- Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal
- Street Fight: Wyatt Sicks vs The MFTs
- (Spoiler) R-Truth & Damian Priest vs Kofi Kingston & Grayson Waller
With WrestleMania 42 just days away, even small additions like this can change the flow of the show and give more talent a chance to build momentum heading into the biggest weekend of the year.
