Tomorrow night’s Friday Night SmackDown is the final stop before this Saturday’s Money in the Bank premium live event, and SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis has announced a loaded show from the Dignity Health Arena in Bakersfield, California.
A special preview of the Women’s Money in the Bank ladder match will take center stage. All six competitors in Saturday’s high-stakes Women’s ladder match will collide in a six-woman tag team contest. The bout will see Rhea Ripley, Alexa Bliss & Stephanie Vaquer team up against Naomi, Roxanne Perez & Giulia.
It’s also expected that all six men booked for the Men’s Money in the Bank ladder match – Seth Rollins, LA Knight, Andrade, Penta El Zero Miedo, “El Grande Americano” Chad Gable & Solo Sikoa – will be “in the house” for SmackDown.
Additionally, a confrontation is set as Cody Rhodes & World Heavyweight Champion Jey Uso will go face-to-face with Undisputed WWE Champion John Cena & United States Champion Logan Paul ahead of their tag team encounter at Money in the Bank.
