WWE Smackdown Card and Preview
- On Thursday night, WWE revealed that “The Final Boss” will make his return tonight. What will The Rock have to say? Will he add himself to the road to WrestleMania 41?
- Drew McIntyre hasn’t been afraid to throw barbs and poke at people with his words. Since arriving on Smackdown, he’s taken every opportunity to make himself heard. This past week, after interrupting Cody Rhodes to start the show, he appeared backstage to taunt Jimmy Uso as well. Jimmy shut that down mighty fast with a kick to McIntyre’s face. Now the two will get the chance to settle this in the ring as they square off one-on-one.
- Pretty Deadly have been known more for their flamboyant antics than their in-ring prowess. But the duo scored a huge non-title victory over the reigning Tag Team Champions, #DIY. Due to that shocking result, they will get their shot to dethrone the champs and etch their name into history. Will Elton and Kit be able to seize this opportunity or will the champions learn from their previous encounter and come away victorious?
- Frustration has been building in The Bloodline for a variety of reasons. Their recent string of bad luck has left them desperate to reclaim the Undisputed WWE Championship they feel belongs to their family. Jacob Fatu’s failure to secure a spot in the Elimination Chamber has only made things worse. And with the recent re-emergence of Solo Sikoa, tensions have escalated within the group. Will they manage to get on the same page and focus on Cody and the title? Or are we seeing the beginning of the end for The Bloodline?
- We can also expect appearances from LA Knight, WWE Women’s Champion Tiffany Stratton, Charlotte Flair and much more!
