Tonight, WWE is LIVE from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada for the WrestleMania Kickoff edition of Friday Night Smackdown!

Here’s what WWE  has announced for tonight’s show:

– WWE Champion Cody Rhodes has a message for Randy Orton one night before their WrestleMania 42 Night 1 main event.

– How will Jacob Fatu respond to Drew McIntyre’s brutal attack before squaring off in an Unsanctioned Match tomorrow at WresleMania?

– The Wyatt Sicks battles The MFT’s in an Eight-Man Tag Team Street Fight.

– The Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal takes place.

WWE Smackdown airs LIVE tonight at 7pm CT on USA Network!

Stinger’s View: I wish they would’ve just condensed this down to a tight one-hour show with the battle royal, the eight man tag, and a couple of promos and then spent the other two hours showing the Hall of Fame ceremony. I’m just not staying up late to watch the Hall of Fame, especially when there’s no reason to do a three hour Smackdown before two nights of WrestleMania. Come on.
