What can fans expect for tonight's Friday Night SmackDown episode?

The Stamford-based promotion already posted a preview for tonight's episode, but the unfortunate passing of Bray Wyatt might change their initial plans. As reported, tonight's WWE SmackDown plans are canceled, and meetings are halted until further notice. The initial preview for the upcoming Friday show saw two exciting matches and a return.

The previous episode of SmackDown saw Rey Mysterio and Grayson Waller have a heated confrontation. This came after the latter hinted that the Hall of Famer set up Santos Escobar so he wouldn't be able to compete in his United States Championship match against Austin Theory.

Tonight, Mysterio and Waller are scheduled to face each other in a non-title match. Rey would be another in a line of legends Grayson has met in recent weeks, with the Australian yet to capture a win.

Iyo Sky is in the midst of a feud with Charlotte Flair, Bianca Belair, and Asuka for the Women's Championship. However, she will defend the title tonight with a different but equally talented name. The Japanese star's next opponent for the title looks set to be Zelina Vega. It will be interesting to see if she can add more gold to the Latino World Order.

Tonight's WWE SmackDown will also feature Jimmy Uso's first appearance after Jey Uso quit the company a couple of weeks ago. The latter left with a statement by superkicking his brother on his way out.

It will be interesting to see what the Stamford-based promotion will do for tonight's Friday Night SmackDown episode.
