Tonight’s SmackDown emanates early for international fans.
WWE SmackDown takes over Olimpic Arena in Badalona, Barcelona, Spain, for the May 29 edition of the show. This show airs just one day before the Clash in Italy PLE and will serve as the go-home show, featuring the final face-offs.
Tonight’s show is expected to conclude the build towards the show as stars set to clash meet for the final time. WWE is expected to deliver multiple promo segments hyping up fans for the upcoming PLE, where both World titles from SmackDown will be contested.
WWE has also announced a singles clash between Axiom from the Fraxiom tag team, who will take on The Miz. The match was set up last week when Fraxiom interrupted Kit Wilson and Miz backstage.
Axiom questioned Miz about why things had been going poorly for him recently and suggested that the curse (courtesy of Danhausen) might actually be real. Feeling disrespected by Fraxiom, The Miz challenged Axiom to a match in Barcelona, and Axiom accepted, making the match official.
Furthermore, last week, Gunther launched a brutal attack on Cody Rhodes after the latter’s main event clash against Sami Zayn, who refused to help Cody as Gunther put him to sleep. Now, ahead of his Undisputed title defense at Clash in Italy, Rhodes will address the attack on the go-home show.
On the other hand, Jade Cargill will also deliver a final message to WWE Women’s Champion Rhea Ripley, ahead of their title rematch this Sunday.
Notably, Drew McIntyre and Randy Orton are listed as featured superstars for the show, while there is no confirmation on their return, McIntyre is currently confirmed to compete on the June 2 live show against Jacob Fatu.
