Last week, Owens defeated Austin Theory and Grayson Waller in a Triple Threat match after a backstage confrontation. Theory and Waller attacked him after the bell and made it clear that they wanted to face Owens in a tag team match on SmackDown. On this episode, Kevin Owens will have to find a mystery partner to face his challengers. Who will the partner be? Tune in to find out.
Carmelo Hayes vs Andrade
The series between Carmelo Hayes and Andrade will resume with another singles encounter. The tandem had a 2-2 record in their previous four singles clashes in recent months, with all their battles taking place on the weekly episode of SmackDown. Who wins this tiebreaker?
Roman Reigns Returns
Roman Reigns stepped up to The Bloodline at SummerSlam 2024 to regain his status as the Original Tribal Chief. However, the group assaulted him on WWE SmackDown and forced him out of action. He is set for a return this Friday. With Cody Rhodes and Sikoa in action on the same night, something explosive is bound to happen.
