Tonight’s episode of WWE SmackDown on FS1 is a big one as the company continues its build to the Crown Jewel PLE next Saturday.
WWE will be taping the go-home show of SmackDown a week before the November 3 episode following tonight’s show from the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee, WI. The reason for that is due to the long flight to Saudi Arabia next week.
The company has loaded up the show with Roman Reigns, LA Knight, and John Cena in key segments on this show. Reigns will defend the Undisputed WWE Universal Title against Knight at Crown Jewel. To make their match official, they will have a contract signing on tonight’s show.
John Cena will address facing Solo Sikoa at Crown Jewel, a match WWE made official this morning, which will mark Cena’s first singles match since WrestleMania 39, where he put over then-United States Champion Austin Theory on the opening night of the show.
Rey Mysterio & Santos Escobar vs. Street Profits will also take place. Again, this show will air on FS1 due to FOX’s coverage of the World Series.
A reminder that WWE #Smackdown airs on FS1 tonight.
