WWE SmackDown is live tonight from the Little Caesars Arena in Detroit, MI. We’re just over a week away from the Royal Rumble, and it’s time to make things official between challenger Kevin Owens and Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns. We also have a first round matchup in the SmackDown Tag Team Title Tournament between the Viking Raiders and the…Banger Bros?
Let’s take a look at everything announced for tonight’s episode of SmackDown:
Drew McIntyre and Sheamus vs. Viking Raiders (SmackDown Tag Team Title Tournament – First Round)

WWE’s official preview:
Up to his wits end with The Bloodline, WWE Official Adam Pearce made a tournament to determine a new SmackDown Tag Team Title No. 1 Contender.
Potentially lighting up the first round of this tournament will be a warrior tandem in Drew McIntyre and Sheamus, who will take on The Viking Raiders. Just last week, McIntyre and Sheamus had a chance at The Usos for the SmackDown Tag Team Title but came up short. After the match and once SmackDown had gone off the air, The Viking Raiders attacked the two warriors, setting up this grudge match.
Can McIntyre and Sheamus move on to the next round, or will they be stopped by the vicious Viking Raiders?
Roman Reigns and Kevin Owens to have a contract signing for their Royal Rumble match

WWE’s official preview:
After months of sneak attacks, betrayals, brawls and beatdowns, Roman Reigns and Kevin Owens will finally put pen to paper for their title match at Royal Rumble. With The Bloodline lurking, WWE Official Adam Pearce will have his work cut out for him if he wants to ensure a smooth signing.
