Another match has been made official for tonight’s airing of WWE SmackDown.
AJ Styles vs. Solo Sikoa is now advertised for the show, which was taped last Friday in Green Bay immediately following the December 15 episode.
Styles returned on last week’s SmackDown and attacked both Roman Reigns and LA Knight to close the show. He had been out of action since an injury angle on the September 23 SmackDown saw him attacked by The Bloodline.
The lineup for tonight also includes the semifinals of the US title contender’s tournament, Dragon Lee vs. Butch, and Damage CTRL vs. Bianca Belair, Shotzi, Zelina Vega & Michin.
