This Friday on SmackDown, Sami Zayn will confront the very man that backstabbed him last week: Jey Uso. Relationship between Zayn and “Main Event” Jey Uso has been well documented as they went from untrusted stablemates to full blown allies during Zayn’s time in The Bloodline. When Roman Reigns shunted The Master Strategist out of The Bloodline, Jey Uso walked away in disgust. Jey had a tumultuous start in the early days of The Bloodline, practically being forced to join after losing to The Head of The Table in a “I Quit” Hell in a Cell match two years ago. Zayn looked to tap into that rage as he requested Jey’s assistance in taking down The Bloodline. One week ago, Jey appeared to side with Zayn before crushing Zayn and the WWE Universe with a shocking Superkick, joining his brother Jimmy to show where his loyalties lie. Now, the two former friends will confront each other in what is sure to be a dynamic face-to-face.
After this past week’s Fatal 5-Way Match for a chance at Gunther’s Intercontinental Championship ended in a double victory for Drew McIntyre and Sheamus, the fallout was nuclear. As such, Pearce made the call for McIntyre and Sheamus to face each other next week, with the winner being granted an opportunity for the Intercontinental Title against Gunther at WrestleMania.
Two weeks from the biggest match of Cody Rhodes’ career, the WWE Universe will hear from The American Nightmare tonight on SmackDown.
Between his upcoming WrestleMania showdown with Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns, which seemingly gets more personal by the day, and his recent interactions with fellow Bloodline rivals Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens, there’s no shortage of topics for Rhodes to address.
What will The American Nightmare, one of WWE’s most stirring orators, say when he’s got a live mic?
A high-octane Mixed Tag Team Match awaits on SmackDown when Legado del Fantasma’s Santos Escobar and Zelina Vega take on The Judgment Day’s Dominik Mysterio and Rhea Ripley. With the high-flying Vega teaming with Escobar, can Legado turn things around against the insolate “Dom Dom” and “Mami”?
