WWE SmackDown Preview for Tonight (9/9/22)

WWE SmackDown on FOX will broadcast live from Seattle, Washington’s Climate Pledge Arena tonight as part of the post-Clash at The Castle edition.

It has been announced that Braun Strowman will be appearing on tonight’s show. On Monday’s RAW, Strowman made his return to WWE and then stated that he will explain everything on SmackDown. It has been said that going forward, he will be a blue brand babyface moving forward.

In addition, WWE is getting fans excited for a big reunion of The Bloodline on tonight’s episode of SmackDown. Solo Sikoa made his debut on the main roster at Clash at The Castle, assisting Roman Reigns in his victory over Drew McIntyre to retain his title as Undisputed WWE Universal Champion. On tonight’s show, Reigns, Sikoa, and the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions The Usos, are expected to be together. Additionally, the program with Sami Zayn is expected to either continue or possibly come to an end. There’s no word yet on if Paul Heyman will return.

The Usos, McIntyre, Ronda Rousey, and The New Day are all listed as scheduled to appear tonight on the website for WWE Events. In addition, the SmackDown Women’s Champion Liv Morgan and Shinsuke Nakamura are advertised to appear at the arena. A match between The Street Profits and The Usos, which could serve as the dark match, is also advertised.

It is believed that Rousey will be appearing on tonight’s show given that her storyline suspension ended officially one week ago and that she is currently being advertised by the WWE Events website as well as the arena. After Ludwig Kaiser and WWE Intercontinental Champion Gunther brought Giovanni Vinci back to the group at Clash at The Castle, it is expected that the newly-reunited Imperium will make an appearance on tonight’s episode of SmackDown. As soon as the return was confirmed, Vinci was immediately added to the SmackDown roster.
