WWE Smackdown preview: Two King of the Ring matches and a third match advertised

By Jason Powell, ProWrestling.net Editor (@prowrestlingnet)

WWE has announced the following matches and segments for Tuesday’s WWE Smackdown television show.

-Daniel Bryan vs. Buddy Murphy

-Kevin Owens vs. Elias in a first round King of the Ring match.

-Apollo Crews vs. Andrade in a first round King of the Ring match.

Powell’s POV: WWE is following up Buddy Murphy’s great performance against Roman Reigns with a match against Daniel Bryan this week and then a tournament match with Ali next week. The winner of the Owens vs Elias match will then face the winner of Ali vs. Murphy in round two of the King of the Ring tournament. Meanwhile, the Crews vs. Andrade winner will face the winner of Chad Gable vs. Shelton Benjamin in round two. Smackdown will air live from Sioux Falls, South Dakota at Denny Sanford Premier Center.
