Sean Sapp reported spoilers for this week’s SmackDown behind Fightful’s paywall. It doesn’t appear that there are a ton of segments planned, but WWE will do their best to make the most of them. This likely means that we could see some longer matches, and segments.
– Contender Tourney Finals: Braun Strowman & Ricochet vs. Imperium
– NASCAR/WWE Package
– Women’s Title: Charlotte Flair vs. Sonya Deville
– Brawling Brutes vs. Viking Raiders
– Chamber Qualifier: Natalya vs. Shotzi vs. Zelina vs. Shayna Baszler
– Roman Reigns promo
It was also noted that, “As of Thursday, Sami was to be on the show, but shrouded in a hoodie.” Also, the opening segment is set to get a lot of time on the show.
The report also said that “Uncle Howdy’s materials were delivered to Smackdown, but he’s not listed on the rundown we’ve seen. This doesn’t mean he will or won’t appear on the broadcast.” We will have to see if Uncle Howdy is used this week on the blue brand.
We’ll have to see how it all turns out when the show goes live. As always, keep checking back with Ringside News for constant updates.
