The latest installment of WWE SmackDown will be the final stop before Saturday and Sunday’s “Showcase of the Immortals,” WWE WrestleMania 41. Last week’s show set the bar high.

Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes will return to the blue brand to discuss dropping John Cena with Cross Rhodes in their last in-ring meeting. The two will collide for "SmackDown's" top male prize at "WrestleMania." Cena isn't expected to be featured on Friday's episode, but he will be making an appearance next week.

The road to WrestleMania XLI is and will forever be defined by John Cena's unforgettable heel turn. Once considered to be sacrilege, the biggest babyface star of the last 20 years turned his back on the fans and sold his soul to The Rock, all for one last chance at making history with a 17th world title victory.
