The match was officially announced during Friday’s SmackDown episode where an in-ring confrontation took place between all four competitors. Rollins & Rhodes accepted the challenge issued by Rock & Reigns on last week’s SmackDown for the WrestleMania bout.

A stipulation for the match was also agreed to, where if Rock & Reigns are victorious, the Rhodes vs. Reigns Undisputed Universal title match for night two will be Bloodline rules (a no-DQ match where The Bloodline can freely interfere). If Rhodes & Rollins are victorious in the tag team bout, The Bloodline will be banned from the building for the Reigns vs. Rhodes match on night two.
An additional stipulation was agreed to for the Universal title match on night two, where if Rhodes loses, he cannot challenge Reigns for the Universal title ever again.
SmackDown went off the air Friday while the in-ring confrontation between the WrestleMania competitors was still underway. WWE chief content officer Paul “Triple H” Levesque made the official match announcement in a social media post shortly after:
