WWE’s schedule continues with an episode of Friday Night SmackDown three weeks away from WrestleMania 42. After being in Boston, Massachusetts, for Monday Night Raw, SmackDown will emanate from the PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Music superstar Jelly Roll is scheduled for his first singles match against Kit Wilson on this card. Two more matches are slated for SmackDown: Giulia vs. Tiffany Stratton and The Bellas vs. Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair. Before the upcoming episode of Friday Night SmackDown, we detail viewing information, predictions for the card, and last week’s results. This article will be updated when additional matches are added to the card.
How to Watch Friday Night SmackDown
Friday Night SmackDown airs live on the USA Network in the United States beginning at 8:00 p.m. ET.
WWE Friday Night SmackDown Full Card and Predictions
Singles Match: Giulia vs. Tiffany Stratton
This has been a rumored match for WrestleMania 42, and if Tiffany Stratton picks up the victory, she would likely earn a Women’s United States title shot. Stratton is still one of the biggest stars in the women’s division and needs a spot on the Mania card.
Giulia vs. Tiffany Stratton Prediction: Tiffany Stratton defeats Giulia.
Tag Team Match: Alexa Bliss & Charlotte Flair vs. The Bella Twins
The women’s tag team division is heating up, and The Irresistible Forces are searching for their next challengers. A multi-team match for the women’s tag team titles at WrestleMania 42 is likely, and I believe another disqualification will occur in this contest on SmackDown.
Alexa Bliss & Charlotte Flair vs. The Bella Twins Prediction: Alexa Bliss & Charlotte Flair vs. The Bella Twins end via DQ.
Singles Match: Kit Wilson vs. Jelly Roll
With Jelly Roll returning to WWE television in recent weeks, it seemed like he could have another match or appearance at this year’s WrestleMania. But Jelly Roll isn’t wasting any time getting his hands on Kit Wilson, as the two will face off in a singles match. This is Jelly Roll’s second career wrestling match and first one in singles competition. I think Jelly Roll beats Kit Wilson here, but it would be surprising if a future storyline wasn’t continued for WrestleMania.
Kit Wilson vs. Jelly Roll Prediction: Jelly Roll defeats Kit Wilson.
