The battle between The Pride and The Final Testament will reignite on the March 8 WWE SmackDown. 

As announced during this week's episode, The Pride's Bobby Lashley will face The Final Testament's Karrion Kross on next week's episode. 

The Pride (Lashley & The Street Profits) and The Final Testament (Kross & Authors of Pain) have been locked into a feud for months on SmackDown, including a Lashley vs. Kross singles match that took place on the December 8 SmackDown where Lashley scored the victory.

Kross has not wrestled since the Royal Rumble match on January 27.

United States Champion Logan Paul is also set to return on next week's SmackDown. 

A rivalry between Paul and Randy Orton kicked off at last week's Elimination Chamber event, with Paul threatening to use brass knuckles on Orton in the bout, and Orton ultimately eliminating Paul from the Chamber match with an RKO. 

Cody Rhodes could respond to a challenge from The Rock & Roman Reigns on next week's SmackDown as well. 

The Rock & Reigns issued a challenge this week to Rhodes & Seth Rollins for a tag team match on night one of WrestleMania with a stipulation attached -- Should Rock & Reigns win, Rhodes vs. Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal title on night two will be a Bloodline rules match where anything goes. Should Rhodes & Rollins win, The Bloodline will be barred from the building on night two. Rock invited Rhodes to respond to the challenge on next week's episode. 

The officially announced lineup for the Friday, March 8 SmackDown in Dallas:

  • Bobby Lashley vs. Karrion Kross
  • Logan Paul returns
  • The Rock appears
