WWE still has a black cloud of uncertainty above it after the monster news that newly-annointed Executive Chairman Vince McMahon is looking to sell the company to the highest bidder, but that doesn’t mean that SmackDown is taking a break. The blue brand is live tonight from the Resch Center in Green Bay, WI, and will feature an Intercontinental Championship defense as well as the next installment in everybody’s favorite forever feud. Let’s take a look at everything announced for tonight’s SmackDown:
Gunther (c) vs. Braun Strowman for the Intercontinental Championship

Ever since Imperium cost Braun Strowman his place in the World Cup Tournament to determine who would face Gunther for the Intercontinental Title, The Monster of All Monsters been looking to target his rage on The Ring General and his cohorts.
Most recently, when Strowman confronted the faction and made an aggressive Intercontinental Title challenge, Gunther took advantage of the numbers and unleashed a vicious beatdown on his monstrous adversary before accepting the title match.
Kevin Owens vs. Sami Zayn
WWE’s official preview:
Following a rough patch for The Bloodline centered around Sami Zayn being blamed for the loss that he and Roman Reigns suffered at the hands of John Cena & Kevin Owens on the Dec. 30 edition of SmackDown, The Honorary Uce is been given the opportunity to make it up to The Head of the Table. Zayn will be in a must win situation when he takes on KO in arguably the most important match of his career.
