Tonight, WWE is LIVE from Rupp Arena, in Lexington, Kentucky for the final Friday Night Smackdown before tomorrow night’s Saturday Night’s Main Event!

Announced for tonight’s show:

– How will Gunther respond after being attacked by Cody Rhodes?

– WWE Women’s Champion Rhea Ripley kicks off Smackdown to respond to Jade Cargill.

– Tiffany Stratton to issue a Women’s United States Championship Open Challenge.

– Carmelo Hayes has a message for United States Champion Trick Williams and Lil Yachty.

– Shinsuke Nakamura takes on Talla Tonga.

WWE Smackdown airs LIVE tonight at 7pm CT on USA Network!

Stinger’s View: It looks like a lot compared to some weeks, but it’s still just one announced match, a match with only one participant announced, and then a lot of talking. Tomorrow night is Saturday Night’s Main Event, so I guess we’ll see a little build to it.
