The season premiere of WWE SmackDown kicks off tonight from Worcester, MA, and while only three segments have been announced thus far, they are big ones. The Head of the Table will make a rare appearance on the blue brand as he goes face to face with Logan Paul, Gunther and Sheamus run it back one more time, and more! Take a look at what’s in store for us tonight before we get to Extreme Rules tomorrow:
Ricochet vs. Solo Sikoa
From WWE.com:
Solo Sikoa attacked both Ricochet and Madcap Moss backstage on the Sept. 23 edition of SmackDown. After teaming with Sami Zayn and defeating the tandem the following week, he again attacked Moss after the bell.
Now, The One and Only is out for payback when he goes one-on-one with The Street Champion.
Gunther (c) vs. Sheamus for the Intercontinental Championship
From WWE.com:
The explosive season premiere of Friday Night SmackDown on Oct. 7 will feature a huge title showdown!
Intercontinental Champion Gunther will once again go to war with Sheamus in a highly-anticipated WWE Clash at the Castle title rematch!
The two hard-hitting Europeans fought tooth-and-nail in their historic Premium Live Event matchup. Though The Celtic Warrior did not capture the gold, the incredible ovation he received from the crowd in Cardiff, Wales was a testament to his gritty effort. Now, the WWE Universe and the locker room can’t wait to see the carnage that unfolds in the sequel.
The X-factor of the match will likely be the potential impact of The Brawling Brutes and Imperium. All parties love a good fight, and time will tell if there will be anything left of the blue brand when all is said and done.
Roman Reigns and Logan Paul come face-to-face
From WWE.com:
Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns will preside over the Island of Relevancy on the season premiere of SmackDown. Journeying to meet him face-to-face will be none other than his WWE Crown Jewel opponent Logan Paul!
The last time these two competitors stood near each other was a Press Conference in Las Vegas where Paul antagonized The Head of the Table and caused Reigns to lose his cool.
With their Premium Live Event on the horizon, what fireworks will result when they stand toe-to-toe?
