WWE SmackDown preview: John Cena, championship match, and a match originally scheduled for Crown Jewel are advertised for tonight’s show

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

The following matches and events are advertised for tonight’s WWE SmackDown.

-John Cena appears

-New WWE Women’s Champion Tiffany Stratton appears

-Tama Tonga and Talla Tonga vs. Shinsuke Nakamura and Kyoki for the WWE Tag Team Titles

-Gunther vs. Finn Balor

-Women’s U.S. Champion Jacy Jayne vs. Charlotte Flair in a non-title match

Powell’s POV: Gunther vs. Balor was supposed to occur at WWE Crown Jewel, but reports say Gunther declined to travel to Saudi Arabia. I think a lot of eyes will be on his match tonight, as there’s been a lot of talk about him losing to Trick Williams in a dark match on Monday.

SmackDown will be live in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, at Amerant Bank Arena.
