A popular music icon and a high-stakes contract signing are among the major items set for the next episode of Friday Night SmackDown. During the most recent broadcast, Jelly Roll appeared via a pre-recorded video message to address the audience. He took a moment to congratulate his former tag team partner, Randy Orton, on his massive victory at the Elimination Chamber in Chicago.
The Grammy-nominated artist also had high praise for Cody Rhodes, wishing him luck ahead of his championship match later that same evening. It was later officially confirmed that the popular rapper and singer would be appearing live in Phoenix, Arizona, for next week’s show. His involvement continues the ongoing trend of mainstream celebrities participating in the Road to WrestleMania.
In his first-ever professional wrestling match, Jelly Roll famously teamed up with Orton at last year’s SummerSlam event. While they were unsuccessful in their effort against Drew McIntyre and Logan Paul, the singer proved he could handle the physicality of the ring. In his brief comments on Friday, Roll mentioned that he still harbors a significant amount of resentment toward McIntyre.
Also officially set for next week’s SmackDown is a highly anticipated match between Jade Cargill and Michin. The two athletes were originally scheduled to face off last year, but the contest was cancelled after Michin suffered a legitimate injury. Having recently returned to the active roster, Michin is eager to test herself against the dominant WWE Women’s Champion in a non-title encounter.
Furthermore, a formal contract signing will be held next week to finalize the WWE Championship match for WrestleMania 42. Randy Orton and the new champion, Cody Rhodes, will sit down to make their main event clash official. The two former mentors and proteges have a deep history that will undoubtedly lead to a volatile interaction in the middle of the ring.
The upcoming March 13 episode of SmackDown will serve as a pivotal stop as the company approaches the Nevada desert. The local fans at the Footprint Center in Phoenix are expected to provide a rowdy atmosphere for the return of Jelly Roll. With the WrestleMania card beginning to take its final shape, management is pulling out all the stops to maintain the massive momentum of the spring season.
