8 months ago By Sports Desk

The air is filled with anticipation as WWE SmackDown gets ready to take center stage live from the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, this coming Thursday. Wrestling enthusiasts from across the globe have their eyes set on this episode, as it promises to be a pivotal point in the journey towards Crown Jewel, one of WWE’s marquee events. The Fiserv Forum is all set to witness a night filled with high-octane action, drama, and perhaps, a few surprises along the way.

One of the key highlights of the night is the much-awaited contract signing between Roman Reigns and LA Knight. Reigns, a powerhouse in the WWE universe, made a triumphant return to SmackDown two weeks ago after a prolonged hiatus, only to be confronted by the formidable LA Knight. Knight, never one to back down from a challenge, threw down the gauntlet, setting the stage for what promises to be a colossal showdown. Last week’s episode saw the confirmation of their match, and this week, they will put pen to paper, making it official.

However, if history is any indication, contract signings in the WWE are anything but straightforward. Speculations are rife that the Bloodline, Reigns’ formidable faction, might use this occasion to send a strong message to Knight, potentially leading to an all-out brawl. Knight, however, is not expected to stand alone in this confrontation. Wrestling legend John Cena, who has had his share of run-ins with the Bloodline, is expected to stand in Knight’s corner, adding more fuel to the fire. Rumors are also swirling about a possible return of AJ Styles, who could join forces with Knight and Cena, turning the tables on the Bloodline.

The action doesn’t stop there as the WWE universe will also witness a rematch between the LWO (Latino World Order) and the team of Bobby Lashley and Street Profits. This feud has been brewing for months, capturing the imagination of fans worldwide. Their previous encounter at Fastlane saw the LWO emerge victorious, thanks to the unexpected return of Carlito. However, Lashley and his partners were quick to retaliate, attacking Carlito the following week, ensuring that the bad blood between these factions is far from over. As Rey Mysterio leads the LWO into battle once again against Lashley and the Street Profits, fans can expect fireworks.

Predictions are tilting in favor of Lashley and the Street Profits, with many believing that they will even the score this time around. However, there could be trouble brewing within the ranks of the LWO, particularly between Santos Escobar and Rey Mysterio, which could potentially play a role in the outcome of the match.

In addition to the high-stakes matches, the episode will also feature the last scheduled appearance of John Cena on SmackDown for the time being. With Cena being a confirmed participant at Crown Jewel, the expectation is that he will use this opportunity to challenge Solo Sikoa, setting the stage for what could be one of the marquee matches of the event. Fans can expect physicality and a war of words as these two giants collide, creating a buzz for Crown Jewel.

Last but not least, the episode will shine a spotlight on Bianca Belair, who made a triumphant return last week, coming to the aid of Charlotte Flair against Damage CTRL. Belair, never one to back down from a challenge, is expected to throw down the gauntlet, challenging either Bayley or IYO SKY for a high-stakes match at Crown Jewel. Whether it’s a singles match against Bayley or a shot at the WWE Women’s Championship against IYO SKY, fans can be assured that Belair will bring her A-game, adding another layer of excitement to the Crown Jewel buildup.

As the road to Crown Jewel continues to heat up, WWE SmackDown promises to deliver an unforgettable night of action, drama, and unexpected twists. Fans in the USA can catch all the action live on Peacock at 8/7c, while viewers in India can tune in to Sony Ten 1 and Sony Ten 3 at 5:30 AM IST. With so much on the line and rivalries reaching their boiling point, this is one episode of SmackDown that you won’t want to miss.
