Powell’s POV: The Smackdown Tag Title match was announced on Tuesday. Alexa Bliss has been named the host of the event. Elias is advertised for a performance, and Joan Jett will play Ronda Rousey to the ring. The Kickoff Show begins at 4CT/5ET on WWE Network, and the second hour will also be broadcast on USA Network at 5CT/6ET. The main show begins at 6CT/7ET and is slotted to run 5.5 hours, meaning WrestleMania will be a 7.5 hour show (or more). Join me for live coverage on Sunday beginning with the Kickoff Show, and members will hear an audio review hosted by Jake Barnett and I on Sunday night.

So in less im mistaken The Rivaval as raw tag champs are not on the biggest show of the year in any way at all? guess that means they are stonewalling management and will just let their contracts wind down before joining AEW
Um unless I missed something I don’t think the Uso’s are going to be defending the Smackdown Woman’s Championship.
