This post here will be updated frequently throughout the night to reflect live coverage of Friday Night SmackDown, including all the match results, rundowns of the promos, and any other interesting or noteworthy things that take place. Keep refreshing for updates to find out all the winners and more!
Preview & Predictions for WWE SmackDown:
On tap for tonight's episode, the big match and draw for the show is Drew McIntyre defending the Undisputed WWE Championship against the man he beat to win the title in the first place, Cody Rhodes. This came about from SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis rescinding the previous stipulation that had been set up in the Three Stages of Hell match, in that Cody wouldn't be able to get his automatic rematch. Since McIntyre continued to cost Rhodes opportunities, Aldis booked this match, which will dictate who faces Randy Orton at WrestleMania 42 with this belt on the line. I fully expect The American Nightmare to regain the title and to face his mentor, rather than The Viper to be up against The Scottish Warrior.
There will also be a celebration for The Irresistible Forces for how they won the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship, as well as new #1 contenders settled for who fights the MFTs next. I expect Lash Legend and Nia Jax to be confronted by some tag teams (namely Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair, but possibly others like Bayley and Lyra Valkyria, The Kabuki Warriors, etc) to help set up a multi-team match for WrestleMania, and since no teams have been announced yet for the men's tag team title shot, that's up in the air and anyone's game.
All that and more will go down tonight, so keep checking and refreshing for the most up-to-date results!
