Nia Jax defends the WWE Women’s Championship against Naomi​

The WWE Women’s Championship will be on the line when Naomi challenges Nia Jax live on SmackDown.

The Irresistible Force is enjoying a dominant run as champion, but Naomi scored the winning pinfall in a Six-Woman Tag Team Match on Dec. 27 to earn a championship opportunity.

Will Naomi fall victim to the dominant champion, or will Jax be Feeling the Glow? We’ll find out on Friday Night SmackDown

Andrade takes on Shinsuke Nakamura in non-title action​

Andrade has not forgotten what Shinsuke Nakamura did to him, and he is ready to exact payback on the United States Champion.

Nakamura and Andrade battled on the Nov. 29 episode of SmackDown, and it ended when the champion exposed the top turnbuckle and baited El Idolo into hitting it at full speed.

Determined to become champion, Andrade must first defeat Nakamura in non-title action to work his way back into the championship picture.

Don’t miss this amazing matchup live on Friday Night SmackDown​

It's got to be a matter of time now, feels like it's been going on forever.

 

[Jimmy King]

Then we’ll probably get the reveal of Naomi being the one that attacked Jade.

Is this actually the first 3 hour SmackDown ever or has there been some special before? Guessing probably not bc that's hard to swing on network so probs would have been when it was on SyFy or USA if it was

Time to Down some Smack!

 

[Storm Trooper]

I was wondering who would call the action tonight. Cole/McAfee will be on Monday. Will tonight be Cole/Wade? Will Joe Tess come to Fridays? I know they said they're doing the post-show on Netflix Monday

 

[Storm Trooper]

Lilian starts on Smackdown tonight. Nice.
