WWE is back in the Fort Lauderdale area at Amerant Bank Arena for an episode of Friday Night SmackDown for the second time this year and the first since February. Friday’s episode of SmackDown will feature more fallout from WWE’s latest premium live event, Crown Jewel. Ahead of the John Cena Classic on December 14, John Cena will invite more superstars to the event on SmackDown.

WWE Friday Night SmackDown Full Card
WWE Tag Team Championship Match: The MFTs (c) vs. Bakusai
The MFTs continue their ongoing feud with Bakusai on SmackDown as the two teams will face off for the Tag Team titles. Bakusai is 1-1 against The MFTs in tag team competition and won their last match. Although Bakusai has shown upside since joining forces, it doesn’t seem like the right time for The MFTs’ title reign to end.
The MFTs (c) vs. Bakusai prediction: The MFTs defeat Bakusai.
Singles Match: Finn Balor vs. Gunther
After Finn Balor returned as The Demon a few weeks ago to take out Gunther, the two will meet in a singles match. Gunther is 1-0 against Balor in their lone one-on-one match, which took place in July 2024. Although both wrestlers need a win, I believe Gunther has the advantage in this match, as he should enter with more aggression than usual after what happened previously.
Finn Balor vs. Gunther prediction: Gunther defeats Finn Balor.
Singles Match: Jacy Jayne vs. Charlotte Flair
Although Jacy Jayne is the current Women’s United States Champion, this is a non-title match. Charlotte Flair hasn’t won a singles match on WWE television since August, and this is a perfect opportunity for The Queen to get back in the win column. A win here would move Flair closer to a future United States or WWE Championship match.
Jacy Jayne vs. Charlotte Flair prediction: Charlotte Flair defeats Jacy Jayne.
