WWE Smackdown Card and Preview

- Last week, as new WWE Women’s Champion Tiffany Stratton was celebrating, an impromptu #1 Contender’s Fatal-4-Way Match broke out. When the dust cleared, it was Bayley who emerged with the opportunity to challenge for the title. Bayley made it clear she hadn’t forgotten what Tiffany had done to her in the past. Will ‘The Role Model’ cut Tiffy Time short? Or can the new champ successfully navigate through her first defense?
- The tag team scene on Smackdown has picked up steam lately. Four teams got into a debate last week laying claim to being the number one contenders. In what turned into a mini-tournament of sorts, Los Garzas took down Pretty Deadly and Motor City Machine Guns defeated A-Town Down. Now this week, the two victorious squads will square off for the right to challenge #DIY for the Tag Team Championship.
- Jacob Fatu and Tama Tonga were running roughshod all over last week’s show. They eventually found themselves in a tag team main event where they were victorious against Cody Rhodes and Jimmy Uso. Noticeably absent, however, was their leader Solo Sikoa. After suffering a monumental loss to Roman Reigns on the Netflix debut of RAW, it seems he needed some time to regroup. With Sikoa set to return this week, what will be next for The Bloodline?
- We can also expect appearances from Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes, Kevin Owens, LA Knight and much more!
