WWE SmackDown tonight emanates from TD Garden.

Tonight’s edition of Friday Night SmackDown airs live at 8 PM ET from TD Garden in Boston, Massachusetts. CM Punk, Cody Rhodes, Jade Cargill, Tiffany Stratton, Trick Williams, and Gunther are listed as featured superstars for the show.

WWE has announced multiple title matches along with appearances from top names. Ahead of their title clash next week in Toronto, both Undisputed Champion CM Punk and number one contender Kevin Owens are confirmed to appear.

Also confirmed to appear are Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton. Rhodes was looking to get his hands on Orton, who returned at SummerSlam to cost him the title match. Orton was able to avoid an altercation with Rhodes last week, but will he be successful tonight?

Meanwhile, Women’s United States Champion Tiffany Stratton will defend the title against Fatal Influence’s Jacy Jayne. On the other hand, United States Champion Baron Corbin defends against Carmelo Hayes, the match was announced after Hayes attacked Corbin and informed him of the title match in his hometown.

Another title match announced for next week will see WWE Tag Team Champions Wepa Up (R-Truth & Damian Priest) defend the titles in a triple threat match against the War Raiders (Erik & Ivar) and The Tongans (Talla & Tama Tonga).
