Preview & Predictions for WWE SmackDown:
On tap for tonight's episode, the final two matches of the first round of The Last Time is Now Tournament (which determines John Cena's retiring match opponent for WWE Saturday Night's Main Event) will be Finn Balor against Penta and Carmelo Hayes against Bronson Reed. The winners of those matches are set to face Gunther and Solo Sikoa respectively. With that in mind, I expect some heel vs. babyface lineups, so the easy predictions are Penta and Carmelo Hayes will come out on top. Penta beats Sikoa, Gunther beats Hayes, and Gunther goes on to beat Penta down the line before facing I'm assuming LA Knight or Jey Uso in the finals.
There will be a promo segment where Chelsea Green will get to celebrate how she beat Giulia for the Women's United States Championship. Obviously, anticipate someone coming out to ruin it, whether that's Giulia and Kiana James or someone else like Michin and B-Fab, who always revolve around that title.
The only other thing advertised at the moment is a tag team match between Fraxiom and #DIY. They've had many matches over many months, so the real hook is whether or not Ilja Dragunov and others get involved to further along that storyline he has going on mostly opposite Tommaso Ciampa.
All that and more will go down tonight, so keep checking and refreshing for the most up-to-date results!
