What to expect for the final WWE SmackDown before Bash in Berlin?
As of this writing, four matches are scheduled for the upcoming Friday Night SmackDown episode. Two are singles matches while the remaining two are for a championship.
A couple of stars feuding heavily on the Friday show recently are Andrade and Carmelo Hayes, who have already delivered several exciting matches in their every clash. Both stars already have a win against each other, and tonight's show will see which one of them will get the upper hand against the other.
Last week on the Friday show, Santos Escobar failed to defeat LA Knight for the United States Championship. Following the loss, Baron Corbin mocked Santos backstage, which led to Escobar challenging the former United States Championship to a singles match tonight.
Speaking of LA Knight, The Megastar will also be in action tonight on WWE SmackDown. After defeating Santos last week, he issued an open challenge for the United States Championship. it would be interesting to see who will step up to the challenge.
Another champion who will be putting their championship on the line tonight is Nia Jax. The Women's Champion has had a tough time dealing with Michin in the past few weeks, and both women could finally settle their score in a Street Fight. It would be interesting to see if the title will remain with Jax or if a new champion will be crowned.
