5 things you need to know before tonight's WWE SmackDown Live (March 19th, 2019)

We are less than three weeks until WWE WrestleMania 35, and the signs are all there.

There's an electricity in the air, as everyone on RAW, SmackDown Live, 205 Live and NXT try to prove why they deserve a spot on the huge show.

Last week, Kofi Kingston hoped to prove himself, until he was given a seemingly impossible ultimatum by WWE Chairman, Mr. McMahon.

What will the Boss have planned tonight for the New Day star, who is hoping that tonight will be the next step of a dream coming true?

There have already been some huge announcements for tonight's blockbuster show, and there's sure to be plenty of surprises.

Here are five things you definitely need to know before tonight's very special edition of WWE SmackDown Live.

#5 Another sermon from the book of Bryan

Bryan has lambasted the crowd for weeks for what he describes as their wasteful behavior.

Daniel Bryan has been riding high ever since he captured the WWE Championship last November.

Using underhanded tactics to steal the title from AJ Styles, the new Bryan has not held back in his disdain for the Phenomenal One, or the fans who once adored him.

Ridiculing the fans for their alleged wasteful attitudes, the former YES! Man who attacked fans on everything from being fickle, to what they eat.

As WrestleMania 35 dawns, it's incredible that this is the same man who came out of retirement to a hero's welcome just 12 months ago.

Tonight, expect Bryan to have another lecture ready for the fans, who he claims are ruining the earth he has sworn to protect.

Expect Bryan to have a keen eye on tonight's very special main event, but we'll get to that later...

#4 What's next for The Man and the Queen?

The Queen Charlotte Flair will have plenty to say ahead of the biggest match of her career.

At WrestleMania 35, the RAW Women's Champion Ronda Rousey will defend her title against both Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch.

In case you missed it last night, Rousey demolished Dana Brooke (the former manager of Flair), as well as several security guards with husband Travis Browne, a very clear message to her WrestleMania opponents.

This feud continues to heat up each and every week, so expect some big things to happen tonight.

Though Rousey will not be appearing and has even dared the WWE to fire her for her actions last night, there's no shortage of bad blood between Flair and Lynch.

Which one of these women will make their presence known tonight, just weeks away from the biggest match of both of their young careers.

#3 What will The Miz have to say?

The Miz is ready to bring it to the man who assaulted his father.

At the Royal Rumble, The Miz finally had his dream come true when he and Shane McMahon dethroned the Bar to become SmackDown Tag Team Champions.

But though they lost the titles at Elimination Chamber, and their rematch at Fastlane, it is McMahon's actions post the Fastlane bout that has the A-Lister riled up.

Attacking Miz, and his father, Shane showed a mean streak very rarely seen before, as he lambasted the father and son duo.

At WrestleMania 35, the former WWE Champion will get the chance to avenge his pops when he meets his former tag partner at the show of shows.

But before then, The Miz will appear tonight on SmackDown, and will no doubt have some very strong words for the son of the boss.

#2 The Women's Tag Team Champions bring the title to the Blue brand

The RAW Superstars will bring their Women's Tag gold to the blue brand.

At WWE Elimination Chamber, Sasha Banks and Bayley made history when they became the first ever WWE Women's Tag Team Champions.

Defeating five of the best teams in the WWE's women's division today, this huge win was a long time coming for the Boss 'n Hug connection, who had campaigned for the titles for years.

Tonight, the Women's Tag Team Champs will appear on SmackDown, as they answer the call of the IIconics, who have accused the pair of deliberately avoiding them.

The Australian tag team have never been ones to mince their words, so expect them to be their usual bravado selves when they meet with Banks and Bayley in the ring.

And with no plans for the Champs at WrestleMania yet, could we see the start of something new tonight?

#1 Will Kofi go the distance?

The New Day star will have to face five Superstars to get to WrestleMania.

Kofi Kingston may have been a part of the WWE main roster for over a decade and has done seemingly all there is to do, but there is one prize that still alludes him.

Despite being in some huge matches in the past, Kingston has never held the WWE Championship, but hopes to right that wrong in less than three weeks at WrestleMania 35.

But to get there, the New Day star will have to go through five of SmackDown Live's very best, as he will take on Randy Orton, Sheamus, Cesaro, Samoa Joe, and Erick Rowan.

With a combined 40 championship reigns between the five of them, it seems Kofi's challenge is insurmountable.

But if we've learned one thing over the past decade, is how high Kofi can climb.
