The winner of the Ali vs. Murphy will face Elias in round two of the King of the Ring tournament, and the Gable vs. Benjamin winner will face Andrade in the second round. Smackdown will air live from Baton Rouge, Louisiana at Raising Cane&#8217;s River Center. Join Jake Barnett for the weekly live review of Smackdown tonight at 7CT\/8ET.
