Announced Matches for WWE SmackDown

Three matches have been announced so far, which will feature superstars like LA Knight, Jey Uso, and Jade Cargill. Two matches for the Last Time is Now tournament will be held on SmackDown tonight. Jade Cargill will also be seen in action, where she will defend her title. Ilja Dargunov will also defend his United States title in an open challenge.

Jade Cargill(c) vs. B-Fab, WWE Women’s Championship match

Jade Cargill turned heel, and it paid off at SNME. She has, however, been at her arrogant best since. She picked up a fight with B-Fab backstage and challenged her to a match. B-Fab accepted the challenge, and these two women will now face each other for Friday Night SmackDown tonight.

Prediction: Jade Cargill is speculated to retain her title.

Jey Uso vs. The Miz

The Last Time is Now tournament, which will decide John Cena’s opponent in his last match, is live now. This opportunity means so much to the wrestlers, as the final match would give them the required spotlight. Not only that, John Cena is a legend and a hero to most of the wrestlers, and facing him in his final match is sure to make a huge impact on their careers.

Sheamus and Rusev have already qualified for the second round of the 16-man tournament on Monday Night Raw. Jey Uso will face The Miz tonight, and the winner will move ahead in the second round of the tournament.

Prediction: Jey Uso is speculated to win the match.

LA Knight vs TBD

LA Knight is set to participate in the second match of The Last Time is Now tournament on SmackDown, marking the overall fourth match of the tournament. His opponent has not been disclosed, and it will be revealed on Friday Night SmackDown tonight. The megastar will take this opportunity to get his career back on track after recent losses.

Prediction: LA Knight would secure a victory

United States Championship Open Challenge

It all started when Sami Zayn started an open challenge every week after becoming the WWE United States Champion. The tradition is now carried forward by his successor, Ilja Dragunov, who has successfully defended thrice on back-to-back SmackDowns. He defeated Johnny Gargano last week and Nathan Frazer a week before that.
