The final stop before "WrestleMania 41" is Friday's episode of "WWE SmackDown."

T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas will play host to the go-home edition of the blue brand. "WrestleMania" Saturday and Sunday will emanate from Allegiant Stadium, but first John Cena has something to say to "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes. Cena was dropped by a Cross Rhodes during the March 31 episode of "WWE Raw."

A "WrestleMania" tradition will also be featured on Friday's show. The Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal is set for "SmackDown." No participants have been revealed for the over-the-top-rope clash at this time. Many are hoping for some surprise entrants to get "WrestleMania" weekend started.

There's also championship gold on the line. The Street Profits will defend the WWE Tag Team Championship against The Motor City Machine Guns. Other teams, such as DIY and Pretty Deadly, have been heavily involved in the tag title scene, so this one could have interference to set up a "WrestleMania" match.

We'll also see the final build before WWE Women's Champion Tiffany Stratton puts her title at stake against Charlotte Flair on Saturday. These two have had a war of words that became personal. Flair has responded by ambushing the champion. What will be the final message between "The Queen" and Stratton ahead of "The Showcase of the Immortals?"

Drew McIntyre and Damian Priest are expected to share some words at the very least. The two have engaged in a feud that's been simmering since last year's "WrestleMania." Before they collide on Sunday, McIntyre and Priest will look for one last momentum boost.

Friday's episode of "WWE SmackDown" will air live on USA Network at 8 p.m. ET. While the outcome of the matches will not be revealed prior to the show, there will be spoilers on unannounced matches and segments. Those spoilers will be updated here just before the blue brand goes on the air.

Live show updates will also be posted here throughout the event.
