What could fans expect for tonight's Friday Night SmackDown?

For tonight's WWE SmackDown, Grayson Waller is again expected to share the ring with another wrestling legend. After an unfortunate encounter with John Cena and Edge, the Australian star is now set to meet Rey Mysterio.

The United States Champion will be tonight's guest for The Grayson Waller Effect. It would be interesting to see if the segment will end with both men facing each other in the following weeks.

Tonight's WWE SmackDown will also be extra special for Edge. He will celebrate his 25th anniversary by performing in his hometown. He will do so in his first-ever one-on-one match with Sheamus.

Due to the sentiments heading into the episode, many speculate that it could be The Rated R Superstar's final match. The Hall of Famer added to this rumor by stating tonight will be his "last match" under his WWE contract. The SmackDown star also said he had already thought about his retirement, but not too much.

With multiple wrestling legends in attendance, tonight's episode is surely one that fans should look forward to. It remains to be seen what other surprises the promotion has in store.
