This week’s episode of WWE SmackDown will air live from the Target Center
The Stamford-based promotion is ready to deliver on this week’s show of the Blue brand following the Survivor Series PLE last week. The 12/06 episode of SmackDown is the fallout show from Survivor Series.
The 12/06 episode of the Friday Night SmackDown will be aired live from the Target Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota, U.S.A. Ahead of this week’s show in Minneapolis let us take a look at four predictions for the 12/06 episode.
4. LA Knight calls for a rematch
LA Knight suffered defeat at the hands of Shinsuke Nakamura at the Survivor Series PLE, Knight’s United States title was on the line for the clash.
On this week’s episode, the former champion might call Nakamura out and demand a rematch at the upcoming Saturday Night’s Main Event next week. This would not only add to the storyline but would also give Knight a second chance to regain the title.

3. #DIY attacks MCMG
The team of Johnny Gargano and Tomasso Ciampa (#DIY) has been dealing with a lot of turmoil mainly due to Ciampa’s actions. The main reason behind Ciampa’s outrage is the negligence of the current tag champion Motor City Machine Guns’ hesitance in giving them a title shot.
However, in last week’s episode, Ciampa gave an ultimatum to Gargano that if Johnny is unable to convince MCMG to give #DIY their title shot he will handle things his way.
Gargano probably agrees with his tag partner as his demeanor in last week’s segment suggested. If the tag champs deny #DIY the title opportunity, Ciampa and Gargano might attack Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin.

2. Tiffany Stratton wins
Tiffany Stratton is scheduled to face Noami and Elektra Lopez in the final match of the opening round of the Women’s US title tournament.
The winner of the match will join Bayley, Michin, and Chelsea Green in the semi-finals of the tournament. The inaugural champion will be crowned on December 14 at Saturday Night’s Main Event, as the tournament reaches its conclusion.
Stratton will pick up the win in the final match of the opening round on this week’s episode. This might happen due to her friend and Women’s Champion Nia Jax’s interference. Jax might agree to help Stratton win the US title in exchange for Tiffany agreeing not to cash in her MITB contract on Jax.
1. Kevin Owens attacks Cody Rhodes
Undisputed WWE champion Cody Rhodes is set to defend his title against Kevin Owens on December 14 at Saturday Night’s Main Event in Long Island, New York.
The two stars were engaged in a war of words in the last week’s episode where things got very personal. However, the WWE security prevented any physical altercation. On this week’s episode, the promotion will start the build-up for the title clash at SNME.
Owens could launch a brutal attack on Rhodes in this week’s episode to send a message ahead of their title clash next week.
Saturday Night’s Main Event next week also includes two title clashes between Gunther (c) vs Finn Balor for the World Heavyweight Championship and Liv Morgan (c) vs Iyo Sky for the Women’s World Championship.
