WWE Friday Night SmackDown Full Card and Predictions
Women’s United States Championship No. 1 Contender Match: Tiffany Stratton vs. Jordynne Grace
After having a title match at WrestleMania 41 last year, Tiffany Stratton is not on this year’s card. With that being the case, I think Tiffany Stratton will pick up a big victory over Jordynne Grace to earn another United States title shot. Since joining SmackDown, Grace hasn’t been used as much as she was in NXT.
Jordynne Grace vs. Tiffany Stratton Prediction: Tiffany Stratton defeats Jordynne Grace.
Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal
No participants have been announced for this match yet. This is the 12th annual Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal and the sixth straight year it is taking place on the SmackDown before WrestleMania. From 2014 to 2019, this match took place at WrestleMania. Even though we don’t know who will be competing in this contest, I think SmackDown newcomer Royce Keys is the favorite, assuming he’s in the match.
Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal Prediction: Royce Keys wins the match!
Eight-Man Tag Team Match: The Wyatt Sicks vs. The MFT
For the fifth time, The Wyatt Sicks and The MFTs will face off. The MFTs have a 2-1 record against The Wyatt Sicks. We have seen that the MFT hasn’t been on the same page recently, as Solo Sikoa and Tama Tonga have been arguing. With that being the case, I think The Wyatt Sicks come out with the victory, ending this feud.
The Wyatt Sicks vs. The MFT Prediction: The Wyatt Sicks defeat the MFT.
