Akebono is scheduled to attend the SmackDown tapings on March 29th in Houston, TX to help build the upcoming WrestleMania 21 match between himself and the Big Show. It should be noted that many wrestlers on the SmackDown brand are less than happy that he is being brought in for WrestleMania while a number of them won't even be on the show.
