WWE SmackDown live results: Roman Reigns & Cody Rhodes face-to-face

Two weeks and one day before WrestleMania 40 begins, Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes will come face-to-face on WWE SmackDown.

Reigns is slated to defend his Undisputed WWE Universal Championship against Rhodes at night two of WrestleMania. The two will also be on opposite sides of a tag match on night one as Reigns teams with The Rock against Cody Rhodes & Seth Rollins. 

Also set for tonight, Rey Mysterio will take on Santos Escobar in a grudge match. The two have been at odds for months after Escobar broke away from the LWO to form Legado del Fantasma. The LWO and Legado del Fantasma are both barred from ringside for tonight's match.

Two WrestleMania qualifying tournament first-round matches are on tap as well. Grayson Waller & Austin Theory will face Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson. The Street Profits are taking on Authors of Pain.

In addition to that, Naomi will square off against WWE Women's Champion IYO SKY in non-title action. Our live coverage starts at 8 p.m. Eastern time.
