Well it’s been a pretty chaotic day and it’s going to culminate tonight with what looks set to be a pretty mental episode of WWE SmackDown.
In case you’re not aware, other than Brock Lesnar – who will appear tonight – Vince McMahon, and a privileged few more who fly by private jet, the WWE talent that was in Saudi Arabia for Crown Jewel won’t make it back in time for SmackDown.
That leaves a pretty thin roster to build the show around, but WWE has teased a number of surprises to make up for it, and it’s been reported that a number of NXT stars are flying in.
We do know one of the matches that will take place, and that’s a Women’s Title match with Bayley defending against Nikki Cross. They were originally scheduled for a six-woman tag on opposing teams.
Previously announced were Roman Reigns vs. King Corbin, Bray Wyatt on Miz TV, and New Day vs. Revival, but now none of those are possible due to the aforementioned travel issues.
Also not making the show are Michael Cole and Corey Graves, meaning tonight’s commentary team will consist of Tom Phillips, Aiden English and Renee Young.
The rest is all for us to find out, so join us for live coverage of the show from 8pm ET/12am GMT for updates, results and reactions to all the action!
