Last week on SmackDown, we saw The Rock returning to WWE again for the first time after Elimination Chamber. He got on the mic to announce that The Bloodline wouldn’t interfere in the main event of WrestleMania 40 if Seth Rollins and Cody Rhodes beat up Dwayne Johnson and Roman Reigns in a tag team match during day one of Mania.

Rhodes and Rollins have been advertised to appear on the blue brand this week to either accept or reject the challenge placed ahead by DJ. But this is not the only spot advertised ahead.

According to the commercials for the show, to be aired from the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas, Logan Paul will also return to SmackDown. Moreover, Bobby Lashley will face off against Karrion Kross after the promotion built up this moment between them. So far, it looks like there is much to look up to for this week’s episode of SmackDown. But what could these previews result in?

Will Dwayne Johnson’s challenge get accepted or rejected?

When the two Monday Night Raw superstars appear in the blue brand, they might address a few more things other than just Johnson’s challenge. However, there’s a high possibility that this challenge would be accepted, causing the four top stars to face off in a tag match in Philadelphia on night one.

Moreover, Logan Paul could finally proceed with building up his story against either Randy Orton or Kevin Owens depending upon which direction the Stamford-based company wants to take with him.
