WWE Friday Night SmackDown Full Card
Singles Match: Giulia vs. Blake Monroe
Blake Monroe is set for her first match on SmackDown against Giulia after the two have been battling back and forth for weeks. Even though Giulia has more experience on WWE’s main roster, it would be shocking if Monroe lost her first match on the blue brand.
Giulia vs. Blake Monroe Prediction: Blake Monroe defeats Giulia.
Tag Team Match: Shinsuke Nakamura & Kyoki vs. The Miz & Kit Wilson
Shinsuke Nakamura has formed a tag team with WWE newcomer Kyoki, and they are called Bakusai. Although Kyoki is new to WWE, he is a long-time professional wrestling veteran, having spent 16 years in NJPW as Hiromu Takahashi. Nakamura and Kyoki have a ton of potential in WWE, and a victory over The Miz and Kit Wilson is inevitable.
