Bayley to address last week’s vicious attack on Sasha Banks
All good things must come to an end, and the friendship of “The Golden Role Models” is the latest example of the old mantra.

After suffering another setback against Shayna Baszler & Nia Jax on last week’s SmackDown, Bayley brutally attacked her friend Sasha Banks and targeted her injured leg. The SmackDown Women’s Champion will address the WWE Universe and explain her actions.

How will Bayley attempt to justify her heinous deed?

Jeff Hardy and AJ Styles set for Intercontinental Championship showdown
The chaos surrounding the Intercontinental Championship was ratcheted up with the return of Sami Zayn, but Jeff Hardy will walk into Friday Night SmackDown with a major challenge awaiting in the ring. The Charismatic Enigma will face AJ Styles in an Intercontinental Title clash of rivals on the blue brand.

Hardy reclaimed the workhouse championship in a gritty win over The Phenomenal One, but the outspoken Superstar has been crying foul ever since Hardy’s dramatic triumph. The reemergence of Zayn threw another wrench into the title picture, as The Great Liberator has staked claim to the championship as well. The three competitors brawled inside the squared circle last week on SmackDown, and it was Zayn who walked up the ramp with a wry smile after delivering a Helluva Kick to Hardy.

Will Hardy be able to keep the focus on the ring and defend his title against the skillful Styles? Or will Zayn make his presence felt once again?

Bray Wyatt to unveil newest creation on “The Firefly Funhouse”
A new member will be added to “The Firefly Funhouse” gang, as Bray Wyatt is set to unveil an all-new creation on SmackDown.

Wyatt has been absent since The Fiend’s Universal Championship loss at WWE Payback. In the wake of defeat, what new creature will “The Pied Piper of Puppets” reveal?

I believe the latest puppet was leaked about a week ago when someone dug up a filing with the trademark office or whatever.​

 

[Chris]

So it's just gonna be a new puppet and not Alexa Quinn/Harley Bliss?

- Why did Bayley betray her long-time best friend in Sasha Banks by hospitalizing her?
- How will Roman Reigns respond to Jey Uso, who he considers to be family, becoming his challenger for the Universal title after winning the Fatal-4-Way last week?
- Will Jeff Hardy retain his title tonight or will AJ Styles become the new Intercontinental Champion, and will there be any cheating from both parties here?
- Who will Bray Wyatt introduce as a new guest for his Firefly Fun House segment tonight?
- Will Big E be in any condition to appear tonight after getting brutalized by Sheamus in the parking lot last week?

Find out on the next edition of Smackdown Live. Stay tuned

I expect Roman and Jey to have a very respectful feud as there is nothing more important than family

"Jeff Hardy and AJ Styles set for Intercontinental Championship showdown"

The phrasing here almost seems like a dead giveaway that the match isn't gonna actually happen or have a proper finish.

 

[Chris]

Feel like you're giving WWE too much credit for caring about their own verbage

 

[Chris]

Some intern just slapped that shit on there

 

[Chris]

But also I think it's likely the match doesn't have a proper finish

 

[Hoss]

It would damn near be a miracle

 

[Chris]

Sneaking suspicion Daniel Bryan might return since he kept filming those videos from his house keeping that feud alive and a lot of the COVID breaks seem to be coming to an end

 

[Chris]

Really just Roman and Sami now tha tI think about it though

 

[Hoss]

Wasn't there a report that Daniel Bryan was helping book Smackdown?

 

[Chris]

Yeah I heard that a couple weeks ago actually, completely forgot about it tho

 

[Hoss]

That's pretty interesting

 

[Chris]

I'm so proud of my boy
