We are on the road to WrestleMania, and WWE is making sure every show builds up to the big two-night event in April. So, as a part of preparation, the company has officially told fans in Barcelona to get ready for a huge SmackDown event next week.
WWE Blue Brand is coming to Spain on March 14 at the famous Olímpic Arena de Badalona! This is WWE’s first time back in Spain in over five years, and it’s going to be a night full of action. WWE has announced a great list of wrestlers for the event, including some of the biggest stars.
In addition, the event will also feature a highly anticipated WWE World Heavyweight Championship match. Gunther will defend his title against AJ Styles, adding an extra layer of excitement to an already stacked card.
Barcelona are you ready?

Cody Rhodes sends a clear message on WWE SmackDown
At the Elimination Chamber, John Cena showed his true colors by attacking Cody Rhodes in front of the crowd. That left Rhodes injured.
But as the saying goes, a wounded lion is more dangerous than a hungry one—and that felt true on this week’s SmackDown when Rhodes, despite his injuries, grabbed a mic and stepped into the ring.
"John Cena… He was a hero… The man who used to run to the ring wearing a shirt that said 'Never Give Up'… HE GAVE UP!" – Cody Rhodes

He looked directly into the camera and spoke to Cena: “John, I know that you’re watching. I know you think that your successor had to look like you, talk like you, had to be like you, had to live like you.”
The 39-year-old added, “Well. I am standing right here, I am holding this above my head as if it weighs nothing, and at WrestleMania 41 I will do the same! John Cena, clearly you want some, come and get some!”
