Preview & Predictions for WWE SmackDown:
On tap for tonight's episode, two more Triple Threat matches will determine a spot to qualify in the men's and women's Elimination Chamber matches, with Charlotte Flair, Kiana James, and Nia Jax in one while the other is contested between Carmelo Hayes, Trick Williams, and Damian Priest. Given the lineups, I feel like James is the obvious person to take the pinfall—likely on behalf of Flair, who remains one of the top potential options to face Jade Cargill since Bianca Belair doesn't appear to be ready to return from her injuries any time soon—and I would say Williams probably has the edge in the men's match. That one is more difficult to predict, as Hayes shouldn't be taking a loss as United States champion, but I could see The Miz interfering to cost him and Trick being able to snatch a victory in that fashion. Priest can likely be ruled out, as he flat out stated he's leaving Drew McIntyre to other people, for some reason, which felt like WWE sidelining him in character.
Kit Wilson will also be up against Oba Femi in what will surely be a squash match. How toxic. But will we find out if Femi has signed to SmackDown, or will that continue to be left ambiguous until they figure out a better plan of what to do with him?
Surely, we'll see some opening promo segment lead to a tag team match, as that crutch has kept both Raw and SmackDown on repeat mode for years, so since nothing's announced yet for big names like Cody Rhodes, Jacob Fatu, Sami Zayn and so forth, it will likely involve at least one of those parties.
All that and more will go down tonight, so keep checking and refreshing for the most up-to-date results!
