WWE SmackDownLive: Match Cards & Predictions

LA Knight vs Jimmy Uso

LA Knight had a match against Roman Reigns at WWE Crown Jewel, where Jimmy Uso cost Knight’s championship opportunity. Last week on SmackDown, Knight challenged Jimmy Uso for a match, which Jimmy accepted later. LA Knight and Jimmy Uso will go one-on-one against each other in the main event of SmackDown.

As per speculations, the match could end in a no contest due to the involvement of Solo Sikoa, who could join hands with Jimmy Uso and attack LA Knight. AJ Style may return to save him or LA Knight would take on both and challenge Solo Sikoa for a singles match at Survivor Series. 

Solo Sikoa returns

Solo Sikoa with Paul Heyman will be on SmackDown this week. This is the first appearance of Solo Sikoa after assaulting John Cena at Crown Jewel. Paul Heyman will recall what happened on Crown Jewel between Solo and Cena and what could happen to anyone who crosses the Bloodline. They will be interrupted by LA Knight, who might challenge Solo Sikoa for a match at Survivor Series.
