A new episode of WWE Friday Night SmackDown on FOX in Orlando, Florida at the Amway Center is here. This will be the first show held inside of the ThunderDome and is the first live episode in months.
AJ Styles vs. Jeff Hardy for the Intercontinental Championship is the likely main event for this show. Many fans thought that WWE would book this match at SummerSlam, but that’s not the case.
It’s possible that WWE saved his contest for SmackDown as a way to further help boost the ratings as they’ve saved big matches for TV instead of PPV events in the past.
We’ll pass along any newsworthy moments including title changes. Here is the updated card:
Intercontinental Title Match:
AJ Styles vs. Jeff Hardy
SmackDown Tag Team Championship Match:
Shinsuke Nakamura & Cesaro (champions) vs. The Lucha House Party (Gran Metalik & Lince Dorado)
Singles Match:
Big E vs. Sheamus
The final build to Braun Strowman’s Universal Championship defense against “The Fiend” Bray Wyatt at SummerSlam.
