Daniel Bryan and AJ Styles meet in the Intercontinental Championship Tournament Finals
Two of WWE’s most skilled competitors are set to clash when Daniel Bryan and AJ Styles face off this week on Friday Night SmackDown in the finals of a tournament to determine the new Intercontinental Champion.

Styles came to the blue brand as a man on a mission, as The Phenomenal One dispatched of former champion Shinsuke Nakamura in the opening round of the tournament. After a hit-and-run incident involving Elias threw the bracket into chaos, Styles accepted a bye into the final round while Bryan fought his way into the title matchup by defeating Sheamus.

In hopes of delivering a message to his eventual competitor, Styles challenged Bryan’s coach Drew Gulak to a match and may have taken the up-and-comer a little too lightly, as Gulak rolled up the former WWE Champion for a shocking victory.

Will Styles regroup and finally capture the title that has evaded him? Or will Bryan usher in his second reign as Intercontinental Champion?


Jeff Hardy and Sheamus to converge for contract signing ahead of WWE Backlash
Sheamus has taken every opportunity to stand in the way of Jeff Hardy’s comeback, and on Friday night, he won’t have to search far to find him. The Charismatic Enigma and The Celtic Warrior will come face to face for a contract signing before they meet at WWE Backlash.

The animosity between the two accomplished Superstars reached a new level after chaos, as a hit-and-run incident involving Elias resulted in the arrest of Hardy. Last week, as Hardy attempted to explain his side of the story, Sheamus interrupted with his own message of a vicious Brogue Kick and repeated throws into the plexiglass.

Will the contract signing cause tensions boil over before the rivalry heads into WWE Backlash?


Heavy Machinery reunite alongside Braun Strowman to face Dolph Ziggler, The Miz & John Morrison
Braun Strowman and Heavy Machinery will combine to form an ultra-imposing team in an attempt to deliver payback for Dolph Ziggler, The Miz & John Morrison. Miz & Morrison have used a series of devious antics to try to get under the skin of The Monster Among Men prior to challenging him for the Universal Title at WWE Backlash, while Ziggler continues to torment Otis after their battle for Mandy Rose's heart.

Tucker will reunite in the ring with his Workin’ Man pal Otis for the first time in over two months against a trio of old rivals. Strowman will also put aside his Money in the Bank worries in an effort to send a message to The Miz & John Morrison ahead of their WWE Backlash showdown.

Can Braun Strowman and Heavy Machinery impose their will against Ziggler, Miz & Morrison?​

Sheamus and Jeff Hardy having a contract signing? For a standard singles match? Not even for a title or nothing? :reigns3

Also why the hell would they not do Styles vs. Bryan on PPV?

- Have The Miz and John Morrison recovered from any possible injuries after Braun Strowman tipped over their van last week?
- Will Daniel Bryan or AJ Styles become the new Intercontiental Champion tonight in their finals match?
- How will Sasha Banks and Bayley celebrate tonight after winning the Women's Tag titles last week?
- Will Jeff Hardy and Sheamus be able to have a peaceful contract signing in their segment tonight?
- Will Otis be able to wrestle in the 6-tag match without any interference from Baron Corbin since he wore his crown last week?

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

In order: yes, there'd be no tension afterwards; probably Bryan; probably obnoxiously; no way; no, that's the next feud

Smart of WWE not to book this one on the PPV where they're advertising Orton/Edge as the Greatest Wrestling Match Ever
