Preview & Predictions for WWE SmackDown:
On tap for tonight's episode, Brock Lesnar is set to make an appearance. Last week, he made his SmackDown return to ruin John Cena's match against Sami Zayn for the United States Championship, taking out both of them and the referee. With Cena not scheduled to appear, there is a good chance Lesnar just cuts a promo, but he could very well get involved in some physicality with Zayn, who should realistically be looking to get some revenge for suffering The Beast Incarnate's wrath.
Drew McIntyre and Randy Orton will renew their rivalry from SummerSlam after The Viper had returned a few weeks back to attack The Scottish Warrior. My guess is McIntyre will be victorious to help set him up even more for a future title match against Cody Rhodes at Wrestlepalooza.
Speaking of title matches, another rematch from SummerSlam will take place as Jade Cargill gets another opportunity against Tiffany Stratton for the WWE Women's Championship. I do not anticipate a title change happening here, but never say never. It just feels like this is going to be another one of those situations where Nia Jax inserts herself into the match, causing a double disqualification, that leads to yet another match down the line, with this being a Triple Threat so Jax can take the pin. Maybe that's at Wrestlepalooza, or at Crown Jewel, but I could imagine Cargill potentially winning the title there much more than winning it here on SmackDown, for sure.
All that and more will go down tonight, so keep checking and refreshing for the most up-to-date results!
