A match between Rhodes and Ludwig Kaiser will take place on SmackDown next Friday (March 24). The bout was set up when Imperium's Kaiser and Giovanni Vinci interrupted an interview with Rhodes on The SmackDown LowDown.
Kaiser mockingly called Rhodes a "hero" for entering the Royal Rumble last and eliminating Gunther, who had been in the match for more than an hour. Kaiser said all Rhodes proved is that he's pathetic. Kaiser called Gunther the future and said Rhodes is all hype.
Rhodes proposed that he and Kaiser face each other on SmackDown next Friday, and Kaiser accepted the challenge.
This will be the first time Rhodes and Kaiser have ever faced each other.
Rhodes is challenging Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at WrestleMania 39. Gunther will defend his Intercontinental title against Drew McIntyre and Sheamus in a triple threat match at the event.
The MGM Grand Garden Arena is hosting SmackDown next Friday. Here's what's been announced for the show:
