Triple H was rather busy setting up WrestleMania XL matches on this week's episode of SmackDown. 'The Game' and his creative team lined up no less than three bouts for the big weekender next month during Friday's show.

LA Knight vs. AJ Styles has been announced. That had been expected for a while, but there were also thoughts of both getting involved in the United States Title picture. On that note, GM Nick Aldis revealed that Kevin Owens will wrestle for the US belt. He joins champ Logan Paul and Randy Orton in a three-way at 'Mania.

Finally, a battle of brothers was also confirmed. Jey Uso fired out a challenge to his brother Jimmy for a match in Philadelphia, and the latter just agreed to it.

All three bouts are fine additions to the card(s) for 6-7 April, but some on socials have already opined that Paul vs. Orton one-on-one might've carried more weight than a Triple Threat. In fairness, KO was kept in the title picture following his controversial DQ finish vs. Logan back at Royal Rumble.
