WWE is in Mexico City, Mexico, at Arena CDMX for its next episode of Friday Night SmackDown! This is WWE’s first episode of television in Mexico City since October 2011. WWE is bringing a stacked five-match card to Mexico City for SmackDown with four titles on the line.
Check out viewing information for WWE’s upcoming episode of Friday Night SmackDown below.
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
WWE Undisputed Championship Match: CM Punk (c) vs. Sami Zayn
CM Punk is set for his third Undisputed title defense in the past three weeks as he will face Sami Zayn on tomorrow’s edition of SmackDown. Punk beat Zayn to win the title on the July 6 episode of Monday Night Raw. After Zayn has interrupted big matches in recent weeks on SmackDown, he sees himself with a title shot once again. Punk has done a good job in his current reign as champion, and having him lose it so soon doesn’t make a ton of sense.
CM Punk vs. Sami Zayn Prediction: CM Punk defeats Sami Zayn.
WWE Women’s Championship Match: Chelsea Green (c) vs. Nia Jax
Chelsea Green will have her first Women’s Championship title defense against Nia Jax on SmackDown. This is their second singles match, with Green winning the first matchup in May. Green winning the title at SummerSlam created an all-time moment. To validate herself and prove to the rest of the division that she deserves to be champion, Green needs to retain the title against Jax.
Chelsea Green vs. Nia Jax Prediction: Chelsea Green defeats Nia Jax.
AAA Cruiserweight Championship Match: Rey Fenix (c) vs. Ricky Saints
The winner of this match will defend the AAA Cruiserweight Championship against Jack Cartwheel, Mini Vikingo, and Nathan Frazer at TripleMania 34. With Fenix being one of the biggest stars in AAA, it would be shocking for him to lose this title right before their big event.
Rey Fenix vs. Ricky Saints Prediction: Rey Fenix defeats Ricky Saints.
AAA Tag Team Championship Match: The War Raiders (c) vs. R-Truth & Damian Priest
The War Raiders will face off again with R-Truth and Damian Priest, but this time the AAA Tag Team Championship will be on the line. For the fourth title match of the card, I’m predicting another successful little defense. Priest and Truth recently lost the WWE Tag Team titles and lack momentum entering this contest. The War Raiders’ cohesion and power should give them the edge.
War Raiders vs. R-Truth & Damian Priest Prediction: The War Raiders defeat R-Truth & Damian Priest.
Singles Match: Nikki Bella vs. Paige
For the ninth time in WWE and the first time in nearly 11 years, Nikki Bella and Paige will face off in a singles match. Bella enters this match with a 5-3 record against Paige in singles competition. At SummerSlam, we saw Bella turn on her former friend, Paige. Since this has been an extremely personal feud, I expect it to go beyond one match.
Nikki Bella vs. Paige Prediction: Nikki Bella defeats Paige.
