Preview & Predictions for WWE SmackDown:
On tap for tonight's episode, Jelly Roll is scheduled to make an appearance. Nothing has been directly said about what he's supposed to be doing, but you could assume he'll be involved in some kind of in-ring promo segment, possibly do some musical performance (though they likely would have advertised that specifically), and get involved with some different people on the roster. Does he get cursed by Danhausen?
I highly doubt he answers the open challenge for the United States Championship that we can assume Carmelo Hayes would have. It's another episode of SmackDown, so there's no reason to believe that Hayes won't defend the title in some fashion. Last week, it was against El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr., and Ilja Dragunov continues to not try for a rematch. Whoever Hayes is up against, I think he retains.
Jade Cargill will be in action against Michin, who stands no chance at all in getting the better of the WWE women's champion. Michin is entirely set up as someone Cargill can fight and beat over and over. The same would apply to B-Fab, if that ends up happening next week or so.
There will also be a contract signing for WrestleMania 42's men's Undisputed WWE Championship match between Randy Orton and Cody Rhodes, following The American Nightmare winning the title back last week. I'd expect follow-up from Jacob Fatu and Drew McIntyre, as well as Sami Zayn's continued frustrations and Aleister Black getting into everyone's minds.
All that and more will go down tonight, so keep checking and refreshing for the most up-to-date results!
