WWE Smackdown Card and Preview

- The Semi-Finals of the Women’s United States Championship Tournament are set, and now we get to find out who will compete for the title on Saturday night. The two match-ups will see Michin take on Tiffany Stratton and Bayley take on Chelsea Green. All four of these women have fought hard to get here and will have to fight even harder to keep their chances alive. Which of them will advance to the finals and make history as the inaugural champion?
- Kevin Owens and Cody Rhodes have been on a collision course for weeks and this rivalry has hit a fever pitch ahead of their title clash on Saturday night. After Rhodes defeated Chad Gable last Friday, Owens attacked the champion which sparked yet another brawl between the two. This match can’t come fast enough in each man’s eyes and we can expect another round of fireworks before the bout.
- The Tag Team Championship scene took a totally unexpected turn last week courtesy of the new champions, DIY. They showed their true colors with Gargano cheating against his former friends and defending champions, The Motor City Machine Guns, to capture the gold. Now that we know where they stand, what lies next for the new champions and will The Guns be coming for retribution after falling prey to this ruse?
- Also official for this week is Carmelo Hayes in action against the latest, mystery addition to the Smackdown roster. We can also expect appearances from The Bloodline, United States Champion Shinsuke Nakamura, LA Knight and so much more!
