WWE Friday Night SmackDown Full Card and Predictions
WWE Tag Team Championship & AAA World Tag Team Championship Match: Damian Priest & R-Truth vs. The War Raiders
On SmackDown, we have a winner-takes-all tag team title match as Damian Priest and R-Truth face The War Raiders. Priest and R-Truth are the WWE Tag Team Champions while The War Raiders currently hold the AAA World Tag Team titles. Over the last few months, the SmackDown tag team division has felt stale, and having a title change could provide some excitement. The War Raiders have held gold in WWE before, and it is time for them to be on top of WWE’s tag team division once again.
Damian Priest & R-Truth vs. The War Raiders Prediction: The War Raiders defeat Priest and R-Truth.
Interim WWE Women’s Championship Qualifying Match: Giulia vs. Lash Legend
Over the last six months, since getting to SmackDown, Lash Legend has shown her elite potential plenty of times. I think having Legend beat Giulia and showcase her skill set at SummerSlam makes a ton of sense. The winner of this match joins Charlotte Flair, Jade Cargill, Tiffany Stratton and Chelsea Green in the Interim WWE Women’s Championship Ladder Match at SummerSlam.
Giulia vs. Lash Legend Prediction: Lash Legend wins and moves on to SummerSlam!
