What to expect for tonight's action-packed Friday Night SmackDown?
As of this writing, two matches are currently scheduled for the upcoming Friday show, along with an appearance from the Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes.
Cody Rhodes and Kevin Owens' rivalry continues to heat up on WWE SmackDown. Before both men have their ladder match at Royal Rumble for the Undisputed WWE title, they will first meet this weekend for a contract signing moderated by Shawn Michaels himself. It will be interesting to hear what The American Nightmare has to say about the upcoming show.
The brand's tag team division continues to feud against each other in their quest to determine the next challengers for DIY's Tag Team gold. Last week, The Motor City Machine Guns defeated Los Garza despite Angel and Berto receiving help from Pretty Deadly. Tonight, Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin will seek retribution against Kit Wilson and Elton Prince.
Finally, a member of the Anoa'i family will also be in action tonight. LA Knight has been on a quest to attack the Tongans, Jacob Fatu, and Solo Sikoa since Tama Tonga and Jacob Fatu cost him his United States title match against Shinsuke Nakamura on the January 10 episode of SmackDown. Tonight, The Megastar will go head-to-head against Tama Tonga.
Speaking of the Anoa'i family, another Anoa'i member will also be in action this week as Jacob Fatu takes on Braun Strowman at Saturday Night's Main Event this weekend. It will be interesting to see if they will first clash tonight.
