WWE Smackdown: What matches are expected to take place this week on the Blue brand? – This week’s Friday Night Smackdown will be live from the Thunderdome in the Yuengling Center in Tampa, Florida. A fatal 4-way match has been announced already for the Intercontinental Championship, but what other bouts can we expect on the Blue brand this week? Let’s have a look.
WWE Smackdown Predictions: Rey & Dominik Mysterio VS Dolph Ziggler & Robert Roode (Smackdown Tag-Team Championship Rematch)
Rey & Dominik scripted history at Wrestlemania Backlash pay-per-view when they become the first-ever father-son duo to hold the tag-team championship title in WWE. The duo defeated Dolph Ziggler and Robert Roode to clinch the title. But it seems like they could be defending their titles against the former champions this week.
With the performance Mysterio’s put up at the pay-per-view, it doesn’t seem like they would be losing their titles anytime soon, especially this week. But, we could expect a competitive bout between the two teams.
WWE Smackdown Predictions: King Corbin VS Shinsuke Nakamura
Yet another one-on-one battle of the ‘Kings’ is expected this week on Friday Night Smackdown. After two successive pinfall victories over Shinsuke Nakamura, King Corbin is high on confidence. However, last week Nakamura’s frustrated attack after losing the match and taking away Corbin’s crown has already given the right set of vibes for this match to take place.
The WWE Officials could make this even more interesting by adding some sort of stipulation involving the crown. If this happens, the bout would be worth a watch.
WWE Smackdown Predictions: Fatal 4-way Match for Intercontinental Championship (Already Announced)
Sami Zayn, Big E, Kevin Owens, and the Intercontinental Champion Apollo Crews are all set to collied for the Intercontinental Championship. For several weeks now, the four individuals have been doing all their bit to hype this match for some stage, and next week we could finally see the bout taking place.
Apollo Crews has done pretty well so far as the Intercontinental Champion, and with commander Azeez by his side, he is definitely the favorite going into the match. Anything goes by as per the fatal 4-way match rules, therefore a fierce contest is definitely on the cards.
