The broadcasting of tonight’s WWE SmackDown episode is underway. However, Fightful Select offers additional details regarding the events scheduled to transpire before, during, and after the show.
In the dark match preceding the recording, Blair Davenport emerged victoriously against Tegan Nox.
Following the conclusion of tonight’s primary episode, the matches to look out for include Iyo Sky versus Naomi and Chad Gable taking on Sami Zayn. Progress regarding these bouts will be updated in this post.
Given this news, it’s plausible that these six WWE Superstars will not be assigned other roles in tonight’s show, although Naomi and Gable have already appeared in promotional segments at the time of this report.
Interestingly, another match to note is Angelo Dawkins versus Baron Corbin, which occurred earlier on during WWE Speed. Surprisingly, Dawkins was featured twice—he also teamed up with Montez Ford to take on Pretty Deadly. [Author’s POV: The match was brief, only lasting 3 minutes, but wouldn’t it have been possible for Corbin to grapple with another wrestler instead, perhaps someone like Cedric Alexander or Ashante “Thee” Adonis?]
Stay alert for further updates on these additional dark matches and any other off-air occurrences!
