WWE SmackDown is live tonight from the Kia Center in Orlando, FL! Tonight, the Original Tribal Chief Roman Reigns will once again appear on SmackDown. What will he have to say about what Solo’s done to The Bloodline? Let’s take a look at everything announced for tonight’s episode of WWE SmackDown:
WWE SmackDown card: August 16, 2024
Kevin Owens vs. Grayson Waller
WWE’s official preview:
Before he challenges Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes at WWE Bash in Berlin, Kevin Owens gets to prepare for The American Nightmare by taking on A-Town Down Under’s Grayson Waller.
Austin Theory made this matchup, gaining some retribution after Waller made several matches for Theory and used him as a shield on numerous occasions.
KO is undefeated against The Aussie Icon, a fact that Waller will certainly look to rectify.
Can Owens pick up a huge win before he heads into Berlin to face Rhodes for the title?
Naomi vs. Blair Davenport
WWE’s official preview:
Next week, Naomi will take on Blair Davenport in a heated one-on-one contest.
Naomi has had Davenport’s number in the past, holding two victories over Davenport, albeit one came in a Triple Threat Match.
Can Davenport score a big win, now that she is backed by her new allies in WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions The Unholy Union?
Street Profits vs. #DIY to determine the #1 contenders to the WWE Tag Team Championship
WWE’s official preview:
The WWE Tag Team Title No. 1 Contender’s Tournament rolls on next week as the final is set between #DIY and The Street Profits.
#DIY took down Pretty Deadly while The Street Profits defeated A-Town Down Under to make it to the final.
Which team will earn themselves a future match against The Bloodline for the WWE Tag Team Titles in this first-time match?
Tiffany Stratton throws a Championship Celebration for Nia Jax
WWE’s official preview:
Queen Nia Jax is the new WWE Women’s Champion and next week she will receive a Championship Celebration, hosted by Ms. Money in the Bank Tiffany Stratton.
Stratton was a key instrument in Jax’s win as her ruse of cashing in her Money in the Bank Contract during Jax’s match with Bayley allowed Jax to claim the title.
What fireworks will there be when Jax holds her WWE Women’s Championship Celebration?
Roman Reigns returns to SmackDown
WWE’s official preview:
After returning for the first time since WrestleMania and costing Solo Sikoa the chance to win the Undisputed WWE Title from Cody Rhodes at SummerSlam, Roman Reigns journeyed to SmackDown last week and went on a rampage that left The Bloodline in tatters.
Will The Original Tribal Chief finish what he started with Solo and The Bloodline?
