Braun Strowman vs. Carmelo Hayes on WWE SmackDown
Braun Strowman showed up unannounced last week on SmackDown. The Monster Among Monsters picked a quick win over Carmelo Hayes. Tonight, they’ll run it back in singles action.
Johnny Gargano vs. Alex Shelley
After betraying Motor City Machine Guns for the tag team titles on WWE SmackDown, Johnny Gargano must collide with former mentor and friend Alex Shelley in singles competition. Which of these two men will come out the winner?
The Bloodline vs. LA Knight, Andrade & Apollo Crews
After assaulting Apollo, LA Knight and Andrade previously on WWE SmackDown, The Bloodline (Solo Sikoa, Jacob Fatu and Tama Tonga) will collide with the three superstars in a huge six-man tag team match on the blue brand.
Kevin Owens to appear on WWE SmackDown
Kevin Owens got the last laugh at Saturday Night’s Main Event.
The Prizefighter took out Cody Rhodes with a package piledriver. Not only did KO leave Rhodes on a stretcher, he declared himself the “new, true WWE Champion” in the aftermath of the heinous assault.
Owens would proudly carry the title on his shoulders during RAW’s Netflix presentation before defacing Cody’s poster at the WWE HQ. It remains to be see what Kevin has in store for the WWE Universe tonight on SmackDown.
