It may be WrestleMania season, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t still plenty to do for WWE when it comes to “Raw” and “SmackDown” each week. And thanks to “SmackDown” General Manager Nick Aldis, this week’s episode from the blue brand is adding another championship match to a card that already has a lot going on.

Taking to X at 10 p.m. on Wednesday night, Aldis announced that Tama Tonga and Solo Sikoa of the MFT’s would be defending the WWE Tag Team Championships against Damian Priest and R-Truth. It will be the second Tag Team Championship match to take place on the show, as Nia Jax and Lash Legend are scheduled to defend the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships against the Bella Twins.

Title Match = made.

A Priest/Truth vs. MFTs match would’ve seemed unlikely just a few weeks ago, as not only are the MFTs still engulfed in a long running feud with the Wyatt Sicks, but the team of Priest and Truth didn’t even exist yet. The unlikely duo has gelled quickly since their formation however, winning a Tag Team Turmoil match to become new number one contenders before defeating Los Garza a week later. A win would give Truth his third Tag Team Championship reign in WWE and Priest his fifth, while ending the MFTs reign at 55 days with no successful defenses.

In addition to the two tag team title matches, “SmackDown” will also feature potential WrestleMania opponents Drew McIntyre and Jacob Fatu colliding in one on one action. The show will also feature Randy Orton’s first appearance on “SmackDown” since he turned on Cody Rhodes one week ago, and recording artist Jelly Roll being called out by Kit Wilson after their confrontation last week.

Jade Cargill Names Charlotte Flair As Top Dream Opponent

Posted by admin on March 19th, 2026

Jade Cargill has already ticked off Rhea Ripley as a dream opponent, and now she has her sights firmly set on Charlotte Flair.

Speaking on Complex’s podcast, Cargill reflected on the fantasy matches fans envisioned when she signed with WWE in 2023, revealing she always expected Flair to be her defining WrestleMania opponent.

“Of course, she’s the top girl. She’s the number one girl in our company currently. You know, she’s placed at such a high position and I’m going to reach the top, the highest of heights within this company. I mean, in what five years now, I have a title. I’ve been a champion three times over. I never worked the indie scene. I’ve been blessed to create such splash and to be the type.”

She admitted that while Ripley was on her list, Flair was always the match she had in mind for the biggest stage.

“So, yes, she was one of my opponents. I mean, one of the dream matches I wanted to have amongst others like Charlotte Flair. And I thought that’s actually the opponent I thought I was going to face at Mania was the likes of Charlotte Flair. You know, we’ve been teasing it for so long. And I think that’s a money-making match. I mean, she’s a Queen of home, right? And I am as well. And I think we have such similar aesthetics sometimes that I think it’s more of a like who’s who? Like who’s really like that Queen or whatever you want to say. I didn’t really dream book Rhea as being the person I would have had my ‘Mania match with this year.”

Looking ahead, Cargill doubled down on wanting Flair, even suggesting SummerSlam as the ideal stage, while also acknowledging the potential return of Bianca Belair.

“Well, when I retain, we’re gonna, yeah, assuming that in the air. I think well I would love to go on to face Charlotte at SummerSlam, but if Bianca returns, I don’t know what ‘cause the way the big three kind of split up was, like it was like a missing piece.”

“So, I think it’s a storyline we need to embark on when everybody’s healthy and ready to go. I think everybody will want to see that story line. it’s so many avenues you can go with that storyline, right? But the person I would want to see at SummerSlam since I’m not seeing them at Mania will be Charlotte. It’s already there.”

Cargill also explained why Flair remains her top target.

“It’s about breaking her. She’s stoic. Like I’m stoic, but she’s very like, you know, so I think it’ll be a great match. And I know Charlotte’s a woman for pulling people up and making them better. And that’s the people I want to work with.”

The Bella Twins Confirm Final WWE Run With New Two Year Deals

Posted by admin on March 19th, 2026

The Bella Twins are officially back in WWE for an extended run, with Nikki and Brie Bella confirming they have signed new contracts and are preparing for what they expect to be their final chapter in the ring.

Speaking on a recent episode of The Nikki & Brie Show, the duo revealed that Brie’s return during the 2026 Royal Rumble coincided with both sisters agreeing to new two year deals with WWE. They made it clear this run is intended to lead directly into retirement.

“For me, I don’t think you and I will ever get that last retirement moment that like John [Cena] got and AJ Styles got,” Nikki said. “Let’s be honest, the men get, right?

“I don’t think you and I will ever get that, but I would love to have that. Because I do know that the contract that we signed, we signed a two-year deal starting Royal Rumble. And for you and I, the talks we’ve had and what I know just where I’m at, that’s it. That will be the end for me and for us.”

The Hall of Fame duo are wasting no time making an impact, as they are set to challenge Nia Jax and Lash Legend for the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships on this week’s SmackDown.

Nikki also shared her hopes of creating a memorable send off, even if she is unsure whether WWE will provide a traditional farewell moment.

“I want to have some of my best matches. I want to have a lot of fun,” Nikki said. “But I want to have like an iconic moment where it’s like, I could look back and go, ‘Damn, that was a great two years.’ We did it. I don’t want to walk away with any what ifs… I want to look back at these past two years that we’re about to create and be like, ‘Damn, girl. We did it.’”

With their legacy already cemented as WWE Hall of Famers, The Bellas are now focused on ticking off one final major goal, capturing the Women’s Tag Team Titles together. Nikki noted how meaningful that achievement would be, especially at this stage in their lives.

“This is like the final thing,” Nikki said. “So when I’m like 60, 70, 80, hopefully 90s, sitting with Brie on a porch, wine tasting, wine making, like we could, ‘Girl, we did that.’ We did Evolution. We did this. Tag team champs. Like, that’s how my mind works, like that’s accomplishments. But dang, to do it as moms. Nothing is better.”

This week’s SmackDown takes place at the Lenovo Center in Raleigh, North Carolina, with just four weeks remaining until WrestleMania 42.
