WWE SmackDown goes down tonight from the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans, LA. While there hasn’t been a ton announced yet for the show, one major announcement should get people tuning in: Bray Wyatt will make his first appearance since Saturday’s elaborate Extreme Rules re-debut. What will the New Face of Fear have in store for WWE, in his home state of Louisiana, no less?
Let’s take a look at the full WWE SmackDown card for October 14, 2022:
Bray Wyatt journeys to SmackDown
WWE’s official preview:
After catching brief glimpses of The Fiend and a broken down Firefly Fun House, the WWE Universe erupted into a roar as Wyatt entered the arena, with Wyatt blowing out his signature lantern and simply stating, “Run.”
One of the most unsettling, unpredictable and downright creepy Superstars in WWE history, what does the sinister Wyatt have planned after making his jaw-dropping return?
LA Knight vs. månsôör
WWE’s official preview:
After aggressively severing his ties with Maximum Male Models and reclaiming his name, LA Knight is set to take on månsôör one-on-one.
Who will emerge victorious in the highly personal showdown between the irate Knight and his scorned former client? What impact will ma.cé & Maxxine Dupri have on the outcome of the match?
Kofi Kingston vs. Sami Zayn
WWE’s official preview:
Last Friday on SmackDown, Sami Zayn made the mistake of getting himself and Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions The Usos into a Six-Man Tag Team Match against The New Day and their surprise tag team partner Braun Strowman. The Monster of All Monsters laid waste to Zayn and Jey Uso outside the ring and paved the way for Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods to overcome Jimmy Uso for the humiliating victory.
Now, The Honorary Uce of The Bloodline must redeem himself when he goes to battle against Kofi one-on-one. Can The Master Strategist outmatch the former WWE Champion?
Sheamus vs. Ricochet vs. Karrion Kross vs. Solo Sikoa to determine the #1 Contender for the Intercontinental Championship
WWE’s official preview:
Sheamus, Ricochet, Karrion Kross and Solo Sikoa will battle it out tonight in a chaotic Fatal 4-Way Match for a future opportunity against Intercontinental Champion Gunther.
Each of these Superstars seems poised to leave SmackDown with the win. After being cheated out of victory in his last title opportunity against The Ring General one week ago, Sheamus will surely pull out all the stops in the hopes of earning a rematch. The haunting Kross has been terrorizing Fridays since emerging to the blue brand and will be riding momentum after defeating Drew McIntyre in a brutal Strap Match at WWE Extreme Rules — with the help of Scarlett. Former Intercontinental Champion Ricochet came up short last week against Sikoa last week, but The One and Only is tailor-made for the fast-paced nature of the Fatal 4-Way Match and could fly away with the title opportunity when all is said and done. Sikoa may be the most impressive Superstar in the field. The Enforcer of The Bloodline has been on an absolute tear since coming to his cousin Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns’ aid at WWE Clash at the Castle, and he’s dominated in several high-profile matchups in a short time.
Which of the four elite Superstars will emerged from the utter bedlam with an opportunity to challenge the leader of Imperium?
