With Tama Tonga debuting last week, WWE has created a buzz over what will happen in this week’s Smackdown. It will be interesting to watch how Paul Heyman proves the point of Solo Sikoa being called the Tribal Chief by the new star.
This edition of WWE Smackdown will have some matches too in store, let’s see what is planned for the 19th April 2024 edition of WWE Friday Night SmackDown.
Matches
LA Knight v/s The phenomenal one AJ Styles
LA Knight and AJ Styles delivered an unforgettable match at WrestleMania XL, with Knight clinching his WrestleMania debut victory over the “Phenomenal” one. Despite Styles’ disappointment, he’s eager to put it behind him for a chance at the WWE Championship.
Both wrestlers secured wins in Triple Threat Matches, setting the stage for a high-stakes rematch on WWE SmackDown. The winner earns a shot at Cody Rhodes’ Undisputed WWE Championship at WWE Backlash in France. Will Styles refocus to secure his title shot, or will Knight claim victory again, earning a second win over his fierce rival?
Naomi v/s Bayley
Last week’s WWE Friday Night SmackDown witnessed Bayley’s triumphant return to the top as the WWE Women’s Champion. Amidst her celebration, she wasted no time in naming her first challenger: former titleholder Naomi. However, Tiffany Stratton, eager to prove herself after an overlooked WrestleMania, objected to Naomi’s immediate shot.
Their tensions erupted into a match, where Naomi emerged victorious, earning her opportunity against Bayley. Now, these two formidable competitors are set to clash for the championship on the upcoming WWE SmackDown. Will Bayley secure her first successful defense, or will Naomi seize the title? Tune in to find out on Fox!
Fatal Four Way Number 1 Contender’s Match for SmackDown Tag Team Championship: The Street Profits vs. New Catch Republic vs. Legado Del Fantasma vs. Authors of Pain
With the Tag Team Championship split, it is interesting to see how WWE is planning up the matches for both the Championships on Raw as well as Smackdown.
With so many teams lined up for a match against Austin Theory and Grayson Waller, it will be interesting to see how everything goes and who will be the first challengers for the Champions where the challengers would be clear after the fatal four match between The Street Profits, New Catch Republic, Legado Del Fantasma and Authors of Pain.
Promos
New Tag Team Championship unveil
As it was seen on Monday Night Raw, one could start thinking how the new Tag Team Championship of the Smackdown division will look like.
With Raw Tag Team Championship being renamed as the World Tag Team Championship, people are speculating that the Smackdown Championships will be named as WWE Tag Team Championship. While it will be interesting to see how it goes, one can obviously wake up at 5 and watch this segment of WWE.
Heyman explains the case with the Bloodline
With the Tribal Chief, Roman Reigns on the break, it is quite visible that Solo has started thinking that he is the real Tribal Chief as Roman lost his match. While it is not clear what is in the mind of Solo, it could be the final boss who is helping Sikoa do all of this in the absence of Roman Reigns.
Debut of Tama Tonga made it clear that Jimmy Uso is out of the Bloodline and it will be interesting to see what is Heyman’s take on this and what did Tribal Chief say to him.
Thus, WWE SmackDown on April 19, 2024, promises electrifying matchups and intriguing developments. LA Knight and AJ Styles collide in a rematch with a WWE Championship opportunity at stake, while Bayley defends her newly won title against Naomi.
The Fatal Four Way Tag Team match will determine the first challengers for the SmackDown Tag Team Championship. Plus, expect exciting promos, including the unveiling of the new Tag Team Championship and Paul Heyman addressing the Bloodline’s dynamics. One should not miss the action, airing on Fox!
