Preview & Predictions for WWE SmackDown:
Not all that much is on tap for tonight's episode. SmackDown has been struggling as of late with a women's division that desperately needs more talent to be influxed (yet WWE refuses to do a draft, still, for whatever reason) and several injuries that are getting in the way of plans. Jacob Fatu was written out last week, Sol Ruca suffered an injury, and while Ilja Dragunov is now on the brand and the new United States champion (and we'll surely see follow-up there with that), they could still use some more Superstars added into the mix.
Case in point, Giulia continues to have nobody to feud with (aka, despite how there are people on the roster to work with, WWE doesn't seem interested in any of those rivalries) for the Women's United States Championship, nor does Tiffany Stratton have anything going on for the main WWE Women's Championship, so they're just feuding with each other, and Stratton's in another throwaway match against Kiana James.
Fraxiom and #DIY had a confrontation last week to set up a match for this week. Despite Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa being babyfaces on NXT for a stint, they're just randomly back and being heels again to reheat this feud for the sake of it. Great talents, but there's no real story here.
We'll see more build to Saturday Night's Main Event with Cody Rhodes and Drew McIntyre, further developments with The Wyatt Sicks against MFT, Aleister Black with Zelina Vega and other stories, for sure.
All that and more will go down tonight, so keep checking and refreshing for the most up-to-date results!
