AEW may have held its \'Big Business\' edition of Dynamite this week, but their chief competition at WWE is making some very big moves of its own.
Tonight\'s episode of WWE SmackDown will see the Superstars of the blue brand continue on the road to WrestleMania 40. WWE\'s Showcase of the Immortals will take place on April 5, and April 6, from Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, PA.
Another Sold Out Show
With WrestleMania 40 ramping closer, tonight\'s edition of SmackDown will be one to watch, both at home and for those in Memphis. As WrestleTix shared, this week\'s SmackDown is a sold-out show, with as 12,122 tickets being distributed for the show in Memphis\' FedEx Forum. This marks the 8th consecutive TV sellout for the company.
The last time WWE held a TV event in the FedEx Forum, it was the August 28, 2023, edition of Monday Night Raw. That show saw 7,377 tickets distributed. This means that SmackDown has seen a 64.32% in ticket sales compared to the previous Raw.
WWE SmackDown - March 15
This week\'s SmackDown will see The Rock make an appearance as part of his recent heel run. It is believed that the Great One will host a \'Rock Concert\' during the episode. The show will also mark an appearance by Jerry \'The King\' Lawler, though it is unclear whether he will appear on the broadcast or solely for the fans in Memphis, TN.
This Friday\'s SmackDown will also see Bayley seek to gain a measure of revenge on Dakota Kai. The Kiwi Superstar turned on Bayley last week, reaffirming her role as part of Damage CTRL. Tis week\'s show will also see the first of a series of qualifying tag-team matches. The winners will be part of the six-pack Undisputed Tag Title Ladder Match at WrestleMania 40.
