WWE Announces 2 New WrestleMania 40 Matches On SmackDown
WWE boss Triple H loaded up on more names for next weekend's WrestleMania 40.
WWE added two brand new matches to the WrestleMania XL lineup on this week's episode of SmackDown - both of them are multi-wrestler affairs, and more might be coming soon.
Firstly, Rey Mysterio has chosen new LWO recruit Dragon Lee as his partner for a bout vs. old protege Santos Escobar and son Dominik Mysterio. Rey told Dom Dom he thought their business had concluded, but then Mysterio Jr Jr stuck his nose into daddy's business on last week's episode.
Lee is certainly an interesting choice, because many fans would've had Carlito pencilled in as Mysterio's possible partner instead. Nope, it's Dragon!
Elsewhere, Jade Cargill will make her first official in-ring appearance for WWE at 'Mania. There, she'll team with both Bianca Belair and Naomi vs. Damage CTRL trio Dakota Kai, Asuka and Kairi Sane. Cargill signed her SmackDown contract on Friday's show, then helped her new pals take out CTRL to close the night.
All three pointed at the big neon WrestleMania sign afterwards.
The other match expected to be announced soon is Final Testament vs. The Pride. That feud has started to run out of steam, but WWE will presumably conclude it in Philadelphia anyway.
