Preview & Predictions for WWE SmackDown:
On tap for tonight's episode, Kit Wilson has said that he's going to call out Jelly Roll. Last week, Jelly Roll was part of MizTV and had an interaction with both The Miz and Wilson, ultimately trying to punch Wilson, who moved out of the way and allowed The Miz to get struck instead. Technically, Jelly Roll also got pushed down by Randy Orton, but I doubt that's going to be his focal point in this segment. Is this possibly leading to Jelly Roll and Danhausen against Wilson and Miz for an upcoming show? Wild, if that's the case.
In tag team action, The Motor City Machine Guns will be up against Fraxiom. Chris Sabin has been getting frustrated with Alex Shelley's attention being divided with taking care of the depressed Johnny Gargano, so I fully expect Axiom and Nathan Frazer to be victorious and for Sabin to be more upset over how Shelley isn't prioritizing their MCMG tag team endeavors. The MFTs will also be defending the WWE Tag Team Championship against Damian Priest and R-Truth, which could go either way.
The women's tag team titles are also on the line again with The Irresistible Forces facing The Bella Twins. No matter what the outcome, we're totally getting a multi-team match at WrestleMania. Given how Nikki and Brie got involved last week in Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair's match, I'm expecting the same to happen in reverse and for this to be a disqualification or no-contest scenario to help further set up that multi-team match between at least those three pairs, if not also some others.
We'll also get more story beats for Drew McIntyre and Jacob Fatu, who are set for a "clash" that I don't see actually being a match as that needs to be at WrestleMania (so I'm expecting a brawl segment instead) as well as Randy Orton addressing why he attacked Cody Rhodes.
All that and more will go down tonight, so keep checking and refreshing for the most up-to-date results!
