WWE Smackdown Card and Preview
- Fans would be hard-pressed to name two more intense members of the roster than Braun Strowman and Jacob Fatu. Over the last few weeks, numerous physical encounters have broken out with each man trying to take out the other. This week, it all comes to a head as they are set to square off in a Last Man Standing match. Given the fire in this feud and the violence these two love to dish out, it’s safe to say this one won’t be for the faint of heart. It’s also safe to say that The Bloodline will be looming large over this encounter.
- After weeks of teases and vignettes, we will finally be treated to the highly anticipated debut of Rey Fenix. He’ll be following in the footsteps of his brother, Penta, who has been making a huge impact over on RAW. Fenix is undoubtedly one of the most exciting luchadors on the planet, with an incredible move set and charisma to spare. Fans can expect an electric first impression with many great things to follow.
- Naomi has been embracing a darker side to her persona than we have seen before. Ever since she owned up to being Jade Cargill’s attacker, she has gone off the deep end, even cutting an especially unhinged promo last week. Her new attitude will be on full display this week as she will take on B-Fab in one-on-one action. This one has the potential to break down mighty fast as you can bet Cargill will be keeping a close eye on the proceedings.
- We can also expect appearances from WWE Tag Team Champions The Street Profits, United States Champion LA Knight, Randy Orton and much more!
