Imperium will be involved in a six-man tag team match on tonight’s episode of SmackDown.

WWE has announced that Imperium (Gunther, Ludwig Kaiser & Giovanni Vinci) will face Braun Strowman, Ricochet & Madcap Moss on SmackDown tonight. The match comes after Gunther retained his Intercontinental title against Moss last Friday.

After last week’s Intercontinental title match, WWE uploaded a post-show video teasing a heel turn for Moss and Emma. Moss agreed with Emma when Emma said he only lost because the crowd turned on him.

Strowman & Ricochet defeated Kaiser & Vinci in the finals of SmackDown’s Tag Team title number one contender’s tournament earlier this month. Strowman & Ricochet went on to unsuccessfully challenge The Usos for the SmackDown Tag Team titles.

Tonight’s SmackDown is being held at the Ford Center in Evansville, Indiana. It’s the first episode of the show since Elimination Chamber.

Here’s the updated card for tonight:

SmackDown Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair goes face-to-face with her WrestleMania 39 challenger Rhea Ripley
Bray Wyatt’s Firefly Fun House returns
Rey Mysterio vs. Karrion Kross
Imperium (Gunther, Ludwig Kaiser & Giovanni Vinci) vs. Braun Strowman, Ricochet & Madcap Moss
