Friday Night SmackDown is known for its exciting segments and action-packed matches, and the January 17th episode will be just as exciting. With a solid lineup, fans can expect a show that will keep them on the edge of their seats and leave them wanting more.
The newly crowned WWE Women’s Champion Tiffany Stratton will defend her title against Bayley on this week’s episode of Friday Night. Bayley earned this title shot by winning an impromptu fatal 4-way match against Nia Jax, Bianca Belair, and Naomi on SmackDown last week. Therefore, fans are very excited to see whether Bayley will end up beating Stratton and stop her momentum in its tracks.
Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin of the Motor City Machine Guns will face Angel and Berto, the Los Garzas in tag team action on this week’s SmackDown. The winner of this match will be one step closer to challenging Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa for the WWE Tag Team Championships in the future, so fans are looking forward to seeing who will come out on top in the bout.
Solo Sikoa suffered a major setback in his bid to become the ‘real tribal chief’ after losing to Roman Reigns in a tribal combat match with the sacred Ula Fala on the line during the big January 6 Netflix debut. Sikoa is set to return on SmackDown this week, so we’ll have to see what he will have to say during his appearance on the show.
Tonight’s WWE SmackDown promises to deliver high drama and storylines that will keep fans on the edge of their seats. With appearances from the likes of Solo Sikoa and solid matches like Tiffany Stratton vs Bayley, it’s bound to be a show you won’t want to miss.
