Preview & Predictions for WWE SmackDown:
On tap for tonight's episode, the big draw is the Undisputed WWE Championship match between Cody Rhodes and Gunther with Sami Zayn as the special guest referee. With this happening here and not at Night of Champions or Saturday Night's Main Event, and SummerSlam being the next event after those two, the standout question mark for me is whether there is a Triple Threat match in the making for any of those events. It's hard to tell, because all are on the table. NOC feels too soon, and SNME feels like it's a throwaway if you've got SS right around the corner with two nights. But who's to say Jey Uso doesn't win the King of the Ring tournament and can challenge Cody Rhodes, for instance? I would not be incredibly shocked if Gunther won the title, but I just don't know. Uso is certainly the stronger pick than Je'Von Evans for this King of the Ring semifinal, at the very least.
I expect Charlotte Flair to beat Liv Morgan in the Queen of the Ring semifinals, but that is another one that I'm not 100% about. For that matter, I'm a bit 50/50 on Carmelo Hayes vs. Ricky Saints as I could see both of them justified in getting the next US title shot.
But for a more legitimate pick, I wholeheartedly anticipate MFTs taking the tag team titles away from Wepa Up. Too many issues between Damian Priest and R-Truth have been happening. The only way the MFTs lose is if there is something going on with Jacob Fatu "taking care of" Solo Sikoa or something along those lines.
