WWE Smackdown Card and Preview
- LA Knight has never been one to back down from a fight. And lately, he’s been finding plenty to fight about with The Bloodline. ‘The Megastar’ has made it a point to become a thorn in the side of Jacob Fatu and Tama Tonga over the last couple of weeks. The Bloodline hasn’t taken it lightly and has dished out some punishment of their own. This week, Knight and Tonga will get to dish out some more on each other as they are set to square off one-on-one.
- The Motor City Machine Guns picked up another huge victory last week over Los Garzas. The victory wasn’t easy though, as Pretty Deadly interfered late and tried to cost them the match. After that unsuccessful attempt at sabotage, Pretty Deadly is going to have to answer to The Guns directly in a tag match. With MCMG on such a roll and their eyes firmly set on regaining the Tag Team Championship, will they keep up that momentum?
- Kevin Owens and Cody Rhodes haven’t wasted a single opportunity to get their hands on each other. Week after week, they have come to blows as emotions have boiled over. Smackdown GM Nick Aldis has had his hands full trying to keep this situation under control. So he’s set up a contract signing for these two at Saturday Night’s Main Event that will be moderated by none other than Shawn Michaels. Will the two rivals be able to contain themselves the night before the big signing?
- We can also expect appearances from WWE Women’s Champion Tiffany Stratton, Jimmy Uso, Carmelo Hayes and much more!
