What to know about the upcoming Friday Night SmackDown episode?

As of this writing, two matches are already scheduled for the upcoming Friday show, several appearances from former champions, and a possible debut of a new addition to the roster.

Last week on WWE SmackDown, Roman Reigns welcomed Jimmy Uso back, addressing their ongoing feud with The Bloodline. During the segment, Jimmy suggested they ask Jey Uso for help against Solo Sikoa's faction, but The Original Tribal Chief rejected the idea. By the end of the show, the group attacked The OTC. Jimmy urged Roman again to consider getting help. Tonight, Roman is set to make another appearance following the chaos of last week's events.

Former tag team partners Kevin Owens and Randy Orton are also scheduled to appear tonight. Last week, KO attacked The Viper when the latter defended Cody Rhodes from The Prizefighter. Tonight, the rivalry between them will continue.

Another saga to continue tonight is the "Best of" series between Andrade and Carmelo Hayes. After months of intense competition on WWE SmackDown, the seventh and final match will take place with high stakes as the winner of this match will earn the opportunity to challenge LA Knight for the United States Championship.

On the previous episode of the Friday show, Santos Escobar asked Nick Aldis to prove himself and provide opportunities to the rest of Legado Del Fantasma on the brand. After some consideration, Aldis agreed but warned that Angel and Berto would "regret it." With recent hints suggesting that The Motor City Machine Guns may be making their debut in WWE tonight, many speculate that they are the duo Aldis referred to.
