Bray Wyatt opens the door to The Firefly Fun House

Bray Wyatt made perfectly clear that his WrestleMania clash with John Cena is an incredibly personal endeavor. And when it gets personal for Wyatt, the mind games begin.

Now Wyatt returns to the comforts of The Firefly Fun House to pass along his latest message to the 16-time World Champion. What will the twisted Superstar have in store for Cena this time?

Tune in to Friday Night SmackDown at 8/7 C for the latest edition of “The Firefly Fun House.”

Alexa Bliss and Asuka look to settle the score this Friday

After weeks of callouts and blindside attacks, Alexa Bliss and Asuka will tussle this Friday on FOX.

The Goddess called out The Empress of Tomorrow on the March 20 edition on Friday Night SmackDown, saying she and Nikki Cross had grown tired of Asuka popping up out of nowhere and now was simply inviting her to come right through the front door.

Asuka has accepted, and the stage is set for two of WWE’s most decorated Superstars to clash this Friday. Will Bliss get retribution against Asuka, or will The Empress silence Bliss? And will their respective partners factor into the outcome? Find out this Friday at 8/7 C on FOX!


The New Day & The Usos put WrestleMania fate on the line

The New Day & The Usos have been the class of SmackDown’s tag team division for a long time, and both are looking to climb back to the top.

The two decorated tandems will go head-to-head next week on SmackDown with a WrestleMania title opportunity on the line. After a heated WWE Elimination Chamber battle, both teams have had their sights set on stripping The Miz & John Morrison of the championships.

The Power of Positivity goes to battle with Friday Night Lockdown. Who will go on to challenge for the titles? Who? Who? Whooooo?

Tune in to next week’s SmackDown at 8/7 C on FOX to find out who will head to The Show of Shows.

Drew Gulak collides with Shinsuke Nakamura in a match with major WrestleMania implications

Daniel Bryan’s WrestleMania destiny is now in the hands of Drew Gulak.

Bryan is eyeing an Intercontinental Title opportunity against Sami Zayn at WrestleMania, but The Great Liberator is evading at every turn. Zayn backed Bryan into a corner by proposing that if The “Yes!” Man is so confident in his new partner of sorts, then Bryan should put his fate in Gulak’s hands. Hence, Gulak will take on Shinsuke Nakamura this Friday on the blue brand, and if Gulak is victorious, Bryan will challenge Zayn for the Intercontinental Championship at The Show of Shows.

Will Gulak come through in the clutch? Or will Zayn craft yet another brilliant scheme?

This show looks pretty lit tbh especially with them getting better with the empty arena stuff. Drew/Shinsuke and Asuka/Bliss should be a lot of fun if they do them like the matches last week. Fun House segment isn't affected by the changes so that should still be good, and New Day/Usos could have a banger. I think that could be hurt by the lack of crowd more than the others, but I'll give them a chance bc both teams are great.

 

[Hidden Blaze]

I might actually watch Smackdown this week.

 

[Smart Marx]

Alexa in a singles match? Against Asuka? Come to papi.

 

[Cwalker]

I must’ve not been paying attention last week. I could’ve sworn both Bryan and Gulak got a shot at the belt if Gulak beats Nakamura

According to new reports Miz didn't work the WrestleMania tapings so WWE might do something with this match now.

 

[Chris]

Just have someone work in a mo-cap shoot and CGI Miz into the match in post

[Smart Marx]

[Hidden Blaze]

Sounds like you're going into this with a very "Deezy on AEW" type of attitude

Pretty much.

I'm in the same boat. Lately, I've I've had other things queued and watched them during the breaks and during Network replays I don't care about it.
