“The Beast Incarnate” Brock Lesnar will be at WWE Thursday Night SmackDown this week to address his upcoming match with Dean Ambrose at WrestleMania 32. The Lunatic Fringe has been receiving motivational talks from guys like Mick Foley and Terry Funk. But just how extreme and how reckless will Ambrose have to be in Dallas if he wants to walk away with a victory?

While the story of The Undertaker and Shane McMahon remains exclusive to WWE RAW, Roman Reigns will be on hand to promote the WWE World Heavyweight Championship on SmackDown tonight. Additionally, the WWE Divas Championship drama will be addressed, as well as the issues between The New Day and The League of Nations. And that’s just the tip of WWE and USA Network’s iceberg.

SmackDown spoilers are currently available for tonight’s show, but a spoiler-free preview follows. Following the spoiler-free match list, a deeper look at WWE’s official SmackDown preview is presented. This episode of WWE Thursday Night SmackDown, airing on the USA Network on March 24, was taped in Boston, Massachusetts, on March 22.

In addition to those matches tonight, WWE.com has published a five-point SmackDown preview that gives the WWE Universe an idea of what storylines and feuds will be featured on tonight’s show.

Dean Ambrose and Brock Lesnar’s paths collide in Boston

Of the three “main event” matches at this year’s WrestleMania, the No Holds Barred Street Fight between The Beast and The Lunatic feels as though it has been given more attention than the others when you take WWE SmackDown into consideration. With Lesnar’s part-time schedule, you never know how many more times we’ll see Brock before his match on April 3.

Having been gifted a barbed-wire-covered baseball bat and an electric chainsaw from Mick Foley and Terry Funk respectively, what will Ambrose have in store for Lesnar when he arrives in Boston?
