What fans can expect for tonight's edition of WWE SmackDown?

As of now, the company has announced the "SummerSlam Rules of Engagement" which will feature the return of The Tribal Chief on the Blue brand. During this segment, Roman Reigns and Jey Uso are likely to discuss and set the rules and conditions for their rumored upcoming clash at SummerSlam 2023.

Although the undisputed champion has not officially accepted Jey Uso's challenge yet, this segment may conclude with Reigns accepting the challenge on certain terms or stipulations. Additionally, a fatal four-way Invitational match for the United States Championship has been announced. This match will include veterans like Rey Mysterio and Sheamus, along with LA Knight and Cameron Grimes.

The winner of this match will then go on to face Santos Escobar, who already qualified last week. The ultimate winner will earn a US title opportunity against Theory, potentially at SummerSlam.

Other than this, the official WWE website also advertises the presence of other superstars, such as Bianca Belair, Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn, and Bobby Lashley, to name a few.
