WWE continues to fill out the card for the April 22 episode of WWE SmackDown.
Riddle will face Jey Uso in a clash between two halves of the RAW and SmackDown Tag Team Championship, respectively. This clash will be the latest step in the feud between the two teams, as RK-Bro and The Usos continue to gear up for their Championship Unification Match at WWE WrestleMania Backlash.
The official preview, courtesy of WWE’s website, is as follows:
As their Winner Take All Championship Unification Match for WrestleMania Backlash rapidly approaches, Riddle looks to put RK-Bro on his back and go for two-for-two against SmackDown Tag Team Champions The Usos in single competition.
The Original Bro already showed why he and his partner Randy Orton are Raw Tag Team Champions after hitting a stunning RKO out of nowhere during an attempted Samoan Drop to pin Jimmy Uso this past Friday. Riddle will look to keep RK-Bro’s momentum rolling when he goes one-on-one with Jey Uso.
Can Jimmy do what his brother could not and deliver a win to The Bloodline or will Riddle stand tall for the second straight week? Find out Friday night on SmackDown at 8/7 C on FOX
