WWE Smackdown Card and Preview
- WWE Women’s Champion Tiffany Stratton made it crystal clear she wants Charlotte Flair to choose her as her opponent at Wrestlemania. But first things first, she has to overcome a huge challenge in the form of Nia Jax. Jax still harbors a ton of resentment towards her former friend and would love nothing more than to take back the title and rain on Stratton’s parade. With Charlotte waiting in the wings, can Stratton successfully retain and set her sights on making Wrestlemania ‘Tiffy Time’?
- The Men’s Elimination Chamber match is filling up fast with a loaded set of names already qualifying. However, many strong contenders are still looking to enter the fray. This week’s Smackdown looks to remedy that with a massive triple-threat qualifying match. Braun Strowman, Jacob Fatu and Damian Priest will do battle with only one gaining admittance to The Chamber. With such a valuable prize at stake, these three powerhouses will surely pull out all the stops to come out on top.
- On the women’s side of things, the Elimination Chamber is also looking pretty stacked. Another name will soon be added as Naomi will take on Chelsea Green in a qualifying match. Both of these ladies are already rocking some gold with Green as the reigning Women’s United States Champion and Naomi as one-half of the Women’s Tag Team Champions. But we can be sure that they would relish the opportunity to add a little more, and this qualifying match will bring the winner one step closer to doing so.
- We can also expect appearances from Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes, LA Knight, Kevin Owens and much more!
