SmackDown LIVE preview, May 28, 2019: Kingston and Owens clash in latest chapter of intense rivalry

Though WWE Champion Kofi Kingston may have his focus on Dolph Ziggler and their battle at WWE Super ShowDown, The Dreadlocked Dynamo still has at least one other Superstar to worry about: Kevin Owens. Though KO came up short in his WWE Title Match with Kingston at Money in the Bank, the rivalry is far from over, as evidenced by Owens’ alleged attack on New Day member Big E last Tuesday. What will happen when Kingston and Owens write the next chapter of their rivalry? Find out tonight on SmackDown LIVE at 8/7 C on USA Network!

Kofi Kingston to clash with Kevin Owens

The next chapter in the rivalry between WWE Champion Kofi Kingston and Kevin Owens will be written on SmackDown LIVE, as the two will clash in one-on-one action.

Though Kingston emerged victorious from their championship battle at WWE Money in the Bank, matters are apparently not settled between the two Superstars. But Kingston’s condition heading into the match has to be questioned, as the WWE Champion was once again attacked by his Super ShowDown opponent, Dolph Ziggler, last night on Raw.

Can Kingston fight through the pain and defeat his rival, or will KO put himself in line for another championship opportunity?

Dolph Ziggler to appear on “The Kevin Owens Show”

And if facing the WWE Champion wasn’t enough for KO, he’ll also be welcoming Kofi Kingston’s Super ShowDown opponent, Dolph Ziggler, to “The Kevin Owens Show.”

After viciously attacking Kingston on last week’s SmackDown LIVE and last night’s Raw, as well as brutally assaulting Xavier Woods with a chair on Monday, what will Ziggler have to say as next Friday’s championship match draws near?

Bayley goes one-on-one with Raw’s Lacey Evans

The target on Bayley’s back is only getting bigger, and with the Wild Card Rule in effect, there’s twice as many Superstars gunning for the SmackDown Women’s Champion.

Tonight on SmackDown LIVE, The Hugger will go one-on-one with Raw’s Sassy Southern Belle, Lacey Evans. Last week, Bayley teamed up with Raw Women’s Champion Becky Lynch to defeat Evans & Charlotte Flair. Will the result be the same in this singles bout?

How will Roman Reigns respond to Shane McMahon and his “insurance policy”?

Roman Reigns looked to have Shane McMahon in his sights last week on SmackDown LIVE, only for Raw’s Drew McIntyre to blindside him with a devastating Claymore Kick.

The antagonism toward The Big Dog continued on Raw last night when McMahon and McIntyre viciously attacked Lance Anoa’i, a cousin of Roman’s. When “The Best in The World” took things a little too far by locking on a second triangle hold post-match, The Big Dog came to his cousin’s aid, taking McIntyre out with a Superman Punch that staggered The Scottish Terminator but gave McMahon an opening to escape by the skin of his teeth.

Now that Shane McMahon has crossed another line by going after Roman’s family, how will The Big Dog respond?

Can R-Truth make it through another night as 24/7 Champion?

It’s been a rough week for 24/7 Champion R-Truth. Despite his best efforts to hide from his fellow Superstars, Truth has yet to have a peaceful moment since dethroning Robert Roode for the title. It was no different when he made his way to Raw last night for The Usos’ block party.

R-Truth got rolled up and nearly lost the title on several occasions, but he once again ran off into the night as a cadre of Superstars gave chase. Will it once again be #RunTruthRun on SmackDown LIVE, or will a new 24/7 Champion be crowned? Find out tonight on SmackDown LIVE at 8/7 C on USA Network!

Time to enjoy another great show.

People complain too much about WWE for the sake of complaining and frankly it's fucking stupid. WWE has been great for months but people will still complain.

It's pretty easy to block them out for me and just watch blind. Being a mark is way more fun than being a smark, no offense to our owner

Mark and smark aren't mutually exclusive. Being a smark just means you know it's scripted.

Also, I didn't name the site.

 

[Kross Rhodes]

I'm fucking with Bayley and Lacey tonight.

I assume we're getting KO and Kofi tonight since KO refuses to do SSD.

 

[Kross Rhodes]

We're already blessed with the KO Show.

 

[Kross Rhodes]

WWE making me miss Big O.

People have other opinions bro. Sure some people complain to complain, but honestly most of the shows the last few weeks I don’t enjoy? I did for like the first 3ish months of the year and a little bit til Mania but since it’s been uh to me. MITB was an amazing PPV until the end ruined it for me. Mine isn’t just to complain.

How do you not enjoy Brock Party?

 

[Chris]

Whole lotta KO on this show it seems, I fuck with it

 

[Vegeta]

How do you not enjoy Brock Party?

Doesn’t change I hate the ending if I enjoy that??? Brock winning no matter what imo was still the wrong choice.

There's no Brock Party unless he wins the match. It's directly related.

 

[Chris]

KO dropped the mic by accident

 

[Vegeta]

Again, I like it but I could do without it. I still rather anyone else in the match have won. Surely since supposedly Ali was told he was gonna win until pretty much the last minute.
