WWE Friday Night SmackDown Full Card and Predictions

United States Championship Match: Baron Corbin (c) vs. Carmelo Hayes

After Baron Corbin beat Trick Williams to win the United States Championship at SummerSlam, he followed it up with another victory over Williams on last week’s edition of SmackDown. Now Corbin will put the title on the line against Carmelo Hayes. Hayes enters this match with a 2-0 record over Corbin in singles competition. Even though Corbin has only held the title for less than two weeks, having Hayes win the championship in his home state of Massachusetts would deliver a memorable moment. 

Baron Corbin vs. Carmelo Hayes prediction: Carmelo Hayes defeats Baron Corbin to win the United States Championship.


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

Last week, Fatal Influence beat Tiffany Stratton and Chelsea Green in a tag team match, giving Jacy Jayne a Women’s United States Championship match. Now Stratton and Jayne will face off for the second time. Stratton beat Jayne on July 17, and the same result will likely occur in this contest. After losing at SummerSlam and on SmackDown last week, Stratton is in desperate need of a victory. 

Tiffany Stratton vs. Jacy Jayne prediction: Tiffany Stratton retains the Women’s United States Championship against Jacy Jayne.


WWE Tag Team Championship Match: Damian Priest & R-Truth (c) vs. The War Raiders vs. The MFTs

The WWE Tag Team Championship has been featured more often on SmackDown recently. Damian Priest and R-Truth’s last title defense against The War Raiders ended in a no contest after the MFTs got involved. Now the three teams will face off in a title match. Priest and Truth aren’t a traditional tag team, and the division could benefit from a title change. After repacking The MFTs with their dad, Haku, by their side, it appears that their push will continue with a title win. 

Damian Priest & R-Truth vs. The War Raiders vs. The MFTs prediction: The MFTs win the WWE Tag Team Championship.
