WWE has announced that the Gauntlet Match, featuring Kofi Kingston, will kick off this week’s episode of Smackdown Live. Hanging in the balance in the match is Kofi Kingston’s hope to make it to WrestleMania 35, as The New Day member will receive his long-awaited Title shot against Daniel Bryan if he can win the Gauntlet match.
Also set for Smackdown this week is the return of The Miz, after he was betrayed and brutally beatdown by his former tag team partner Shane McMahon at WWE Fastlane.
You Won’t Believe Ronda Rousey’s New T-Shirt
Ronda Rousey has been doubling-down on her new WWE creative direction, which has seen the Raw Women’s Champion outing wrestling as “scripted” and cutting promos in which she claims she is now writing her own “script” in WWE.
Critical reaction to Rousey’s new fourth wall breaking character has been a mixed bag, but that has not stopped the former UFC star from continuing her push into heel territory, as she recently released a new “breaking kayfabe” t-shirt as seen below.
