• Originally Planned WrestleMania Title Match Announced For Tonight’s SmackDown
WrestleMania 42 is set to feature thirteen matches. Several rumored bouts ultimately did not make the final card.
One of those was Giulia vs. Tiffany Stratton for the Women’s United States Championship. About a month before the event, it was reported that Stratton would be prominently featured in a program with Giulia heading into WrestleMania 42. However, the storyline did not gain enough momentum to secure a spot on the show.
WWE has now announced that Giulia will defend her title against The Buff Barbie on tonight’s WrestleMania special episode of SmackDown at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
The match was officially confirmed during last night’s episode of WWE Main Event. The two women faced off in a non-title match on the March 27 edition of SmackDown.
• WrestleMania 42 Main Eventer Is Working Hurt
There is a major cloud of doubt hanging over the WrestleMania 42 – Night 1 main event because Randy Orton is reportedly working hurt.
Orton is set to challenge Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship this Saturday night, with Pat McAfee in his corner. While McAfee’s comments made it seem like Orton was a lock to win, his physical health might force WWE to change the finish at the last second.
On last week’s SmackDown, Pat McAfee made a bold claim: if Orton doesn’t win the title, McAfee will leave WWE forever. Usually, a promise like that means the person is definitely winning.
The Wrestling Observer reports that Orton is currently “hurting.” If the injury is serious enough that he needs time off, it would make no sense to give him the championship.
