WWE’s full preview can be found HERE. We have included some excerpts below.
On if Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn will face repercussions for attacking Shane McMahon:
To say the least, Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn may have gone too far last week on SmackDown LIVE. After Shane McMahon announced he would be taking an indefinite leave of absence from his position as SmackDown LIVE Commissioner, KO and Zayn brutalized McMahon, leaving him with several injuries.
Daniel Bryan returns to SmackDown LIVE tonight as the sole person in charge of Team Blue. How will he respond to Owens & Zayn after their unbelievable attack? Find out tonight on SmackDown LIVE at 8/7 C on USA Network!
On how Asuka’s arrival will affect the Smackdown Live women’s division:
The dynamic of the Women’s division on SmackDown LIVE immediately changed when Asuka declared she’d be challenging SmackDown Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania.
With the specter of The Empress of Tomorrow hanging over them, how will the women of Team Blue react? Carmella still holds the Money in the Bank contract; could she rush to cash in before The Show of Shows? And with the WrestleMania Women’s Battle Royal on the horizon, surely the women of the blue brand will be out to make an impression just before stepping onto The Grandest Stage of Them All.
