WWE Friday Night SmackDown Full Card and Predictions


Women’s United States Championship Match: Giulia (c) vs. Tiffany Stratton

Last week, Tiffany Stratton beat Jordynne Grace to earn a shot at the Women’s United States Championship. These two faced off in March, with Giulia winning the match. Since winning the title in January, Giulia has only defended it once. With Stratton missing WrestleMania this year, I think this is where she has her moment.

Giulia vs. Tiffany Stratton Prediction: Tiffany Stratton defeats Giulia to win the Women’s United States Championship.
