What to expect for the upcoming Friday Night SmackDown episode?
As of this writing, two matches have been announced for tonight's Friday show, and a major appearance from rivals who are now set to team up for next month's Bad Blood show.
Last week on the Friday show, Andrade defeated Carmelo Hayes to end their stunning five-match series. LA Knight approached the winner after the bout and offered a shot to the United States Championship. Tonight, fans will see The Megastar in action as he defends the gold against another worthy opponent.
Nia Jax and Tiffany Stratton collided again last week on WWE SmackDown, setting up a major stakes match tonight. The stipulation for the tag team match states that anybody who can pin Jax or Stratton will get a Women's Championship match at Bad Blood. However, if Nia of Tiffany wins, the person who gets pinned will have to leave the brand permanently.
Cody Rhodes successfully defended the Undisputed Championship against Solo Sikoa in a steel cage last week. Although The American Nightmare won, he was subjected to a post-match attack from The Bloodline. However, Roman Reigns returned to take them out. Later in the show, Rhodes and Reigns agreed to team up at Bad Blood against Solo and Jacob Fatu. Tonight, the unlikely allies will appear to address their upcoming match.
