It’s almost time for WWE SmackDown!
WWE returns to the Paycom Center in Oklahoma City for tonight’s SmackDown. Cody Rhodes, Nia Jax, Bayley, Tiffany Stratton, LA Knight, and Kevin Owens are advertised for the show.
Here’s what’s on tap for the September 27 episode of Friday Night SmackDown.
Carmelo Hayes vs. Andrade
Andrade took his acclaimed series against Melo to 3-2 by beating HIM two weeks ago on WWE SmackDown. El Idolo, however, failed to beat LA Knight for the United States Championship the following week on the blue brand.
A dejected Andrade was mocked by Andrade following his loss, which caused a brawl between the two bitter rivals backstage last week on SmackDown. Tonight, both men collide to determine the winner in this presumable Best of Seven Series match-up.
Michin vs. Piper Niven on WWE SmackDown
One week before she takes on Chelsea Green in a Dumpster Match, Michin collides with Chelsea’s tag team partner Piper Niven in singles action on SmackDown. Piper had previously attacked Michin with a trash can on SmackDown LowDown.
Bayley vs. Naomi – #1 Contender’s Match For WWE Women’s Championship
Bayley and Naomi both survived a high-stakes match-up last week on SmackDown by pinning Nia Jax at the same time. After hearing both superstars stake their claim to the women’s title at WWE Bad Blood, GM Nick Aldis announced a number one contender’s match for 9/27 SmackDown.
Solo Sikoa returns to WWE SmackDown
Solo Sikoa’s head hit hard on the floor while taking a dive from Cody Rhodes during their Steel Cage match on SmackDown’s USA premiere. The challenger lost clean to the champion, but attacked him post-match with the help of The Bloodline.
After Roman Reigns arrived to clear the ring, Solo stopped Jacob Fatu from going one-on-one with “The OTC.” The former NXT North American Champion returns to SmackDown tonight to address the WWE Universe just one week before he and Fatu take on Rhodes and Reigns at Bad Blood.
WrestleZone will have full coverage of 9/27 SmackDown as it airs.
