Cody Rhodes returns to SmackDown after John Cena's vicious betrayal at WWE Elimination Chamber​

At WWE Elimination Chamber, Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes turned down The Rock's offer to become "his champion."

How will the titleholder respond? Don't miss all the action, this Friday at 8 ET/7 CT on SmackDown on USA.​

LA Knight looks to regain United States Title from Shinsuke Nakamura​

LA Knight has been hoping to reclaim the United States Title and tonight he looks to take down Shinsuke Nakamura.

Nakamura defeated Knight back at Survivor Series to end Knight’s first reign with the title.
Since then, Knight has not been able to wrest the title away from Nakamura, but tonight he will have a golden opportunity.

Last week, Knight took down Santos Escobar before defeating Jacob Fatu and Carmelo Hayes in a Triple Threat Match to become the No. 1 Contender.

Can Knight become a two-time United States Champion or will the reign of Nakamura continue?

Find out tonight at 8ET/7CT on USA.​

Jimmy Uso takes on Drew McIntyre​

Jimmy Uso seems to have Drew McIntyre’s number.

A few weeks ago, Uso took down McIntyre in a one-on-one contest, shocking The Scottish Warrior, who underestimated Uso.

Tonight, the two will battle once more, with McIntyre looking to avenge his loss.

Who will walk out of Philadelphia the winner?
Find out tonight at 8ET/7CT on USA.

Braun Strowman battles Solo Sikoa​

The Monster of All Monsters is looking for payback on Solo Sikoa and he'll get his chance in a one-on-one match.

Last week, Sikoa cost Braun Strowman a United States Title opportunity by interfering in his match against Carmelo Hayes.

Will it be Strowman or Sikoa walking out of Philly with the win? Find out TONIGHT at 8 ET/7 CT on USA.​

Both US titles changing hands in one night

Sounds like a horrible idea Bruv.

Neither should change hands but if one has to, the women's one is fine.

 

[Cwalker]

Nakamura has been a miss as Champion imo

And I wouldn’t be mad at at US Champion Michin so fuck it, changed them both

 

[Cwalker]

low key been pushing for Michin this whole time

 

[DammitC]

- Is Cody Rhodes feeling better after that brutal assault by The Rock and John Cena?
- Does Bianca Belair know about Naomi being the attacker months ago?
- Will the returning Jade Cargill kick even more ass tonight?
- Does Kevin Owens regret ever sidelining the returning Randy Orton months ago?
- Is Tiffany Stratton now feeling completely focused on Charlotte Flair as her Wrestlemania 41 opponent?

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

I don't think Nakamura's even been given a chance to really do anything as US Champ tbh.
