What to expect for the upcoming Friday Night SmackDown?

As of this writing, two matches are set to take place, a debut from a former AEW star, along with an appearance from Chicago's very own CM Punk.

Last week on WWE SmackDown, the Triple Threat match between Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, and CM Punk was confirmed after they met for a contract signing. However, another detail revealed was that it would be the main event of WrestleMania 41 Night 1. Tonight, The Best in the World is set to confront his opponents for The Show of Shows.

Another big moment that will take place tonight on WWE SmackDown is the long-awaited debut of Rey Fenix. Several hints and teasers have been shown in the past few weeks of a mysterious superstar, which was confirmed to be Rey Fenix. After Penta's successful run on RAW so far, it will be interesting to see how his brother will fare on the Friday show.

Things are heating up on the Friday show's women's division. Last week, Michin and B-Fab were attacked by Naomi after they showed support for Jade Cargill. Although The Storm arrived, The Glow already got away. Tonight, B-Fab is looking for vengeance as she goes one-on-one with Naomi.

Finally, Braun Strowman and Jacob Fatu will meet again tonight on the Friday show. Last week, the latter, Solo Sikoa, and Tama Tonga cost Strowman a chance to become the United States Champion. Tonight, Braun and Jacob will meet in a Last Man Standing match.
