Several Raw wrestlers scheduled to appear on tonight’s SmackDown
Tonight’s SmackDown from Wilkes-Barre, PA will feature at least some Raw involvement coming off the SmackDown appearances last night on Raw.
Charlotte Flair, Sasha Banks, Nia Jax, Bayley, and Alicia Fox were all sent to the show, likely to lead to a confrontation with the SmackDown women’s team and help build that match up.
Many expected the key Raw talents like Kevin Owens, Chris Jericho, Braun Strowman, Seth Rollins, and Roman Reigns to appear on tonight’s show, but we have not heard if they are in Wilkes-Barre.
Undertaker and Edge are the promoted guest stars on the show, with this being SmackDown’s 900th episode. Undertaker’s appearance is likely to tease a new direction for him. Edge will be doing a Cutting Edge segment with an interview with Team SmackDown of A.J. Styles, Dean Ambrose, Shane McMahon, Randy Orton, Bray Wyatt, and James Ellsworth.
Steve Khan will have live coverage of tonight’s show starting at 8 p.m. ET.
