Last Friday night was overshadowed by the mass NXT talent releases done by WWE as the company only announced one thing for Friday Night SmackDown, which was that John Cena would appear on the show.
WWE has posted a SmackDown preview article on its website where they announced two segments and a match for tonight’s show.
WWE Intercontinental Champion Apollo Crews will defend against King Shinsuke Nakamura. Last week, Nakamura beat Crews in a Championship Contender Match by DQ.
Sasha Banks and SmackDown Women’s Champion Bianca Belair will sign a contract to make their match at SummerSlam next Saturday official.
Finally, WWE is hyping that Roman Reigns will come face-to-face with John Cena on this show ahead of their title match at SummerSlam.
WWE will also be announcing matches for existing feuds that will take place at the SummerSlam pay-per-view event.
