WWE SmackDown Card and Preview
Jacob Fatu has finally had enough of Solo Sikoa’s shenanigans. During the Men’s Money in the Bank Match, Fatu turned on his stablemate just as he was set to scale the ladder and retrieve the briefcase. For weeks, Fatu had been growing tired of Sikoa and JC Mateo’s involvement in his business and now he sent a message loud and clear. What will the fallout from these actions be now that Fatu is seemingly done with his Bloodline? And how will Sikoa and Mateo retaliate?
Naomi has been on an incredible hot streak and it just got a whole lot hotter. She is now the holder of the Women’s Money in the Bank briefcase after emerging victorious last Saturday night. With how unpredictable her behavior has been as of late, this should make the entire women’s division very nervous. Current champions Tiffany Stratton and IYO SKY will definitely be looking over their shoulders as will any woman in the Queen of the Ring tournament with title aspirations. We can expect Naomi to make an appearance this Friday night with her briefcase in tow and a twisted smile on her face.
The King and Queen of the Ring tournaments are underway as Roxanne Perez and Sami Zayn already punched their tickets to the next round this past Monday. The field for both brackets has tons of solid representation from the Smackdown side. Names such as Randy Orton, Cody Rhodes and LA Knight will compete for the men’s crown while Jade Cargill, Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss are among the field for the women. With the first round set to continue this Friday night, which names will get to continue their path to the throne?
We can also expect appearances from WWE Tag Team Champions The Street Profits, Rey Fenix, Giulia and much more!
