The August 22nd episode of Friday Night SmackDown is set to be a very memorable show. It will play an important role in building towards the Clash in Paris Premium Live Event, so fans can expect plenty of action and key moments throughout the night.

John Cena Returns

John Cena makes his highly anticipated return to SmackDown this week in Dublin. This will be his final appearance in Ireland as part of his ongoing retirement tour, so we’ll have to see what he’ll do on the show ahead of his match against Logan Paul at Clash in Paris.

Aleister Black vs. R-Truth

Aleister Black faces R-Truth in singles action. The match comes after weeks of buildup and the two already faced each other once, where Truth won. So now it remains to be seen whether Black will get his win back this time around.

Motor City Machine Guns vs. Melo Don’t Miz

The Motor City Machine Guns will be duking it out with Carmelo Hayes and The Miz on this week’s episode of Friday Night SmackDown. Miz and Melo already got a win last week, so fans are waiting to see if they can beat the legendary Machine Guns somehow.
