WWE SmackDown is live tonight from Pinnacle Bank Arena in Lincoln, NE. While not a ton has been announced for tonight’s show – though that could change throughout the day, which will be reflected here – there is one big announcement in the return of a King, Shinsuke Nakamura. Let’s take a look at everything announced for tonight’s SmackDown:
Xavier Woods vs. LA Knight
WWE’s official preview:
After not being on WrestleMania this past weekend, LA Knight had a bone to pick. Whilst Xavier Woods was playing video games backstage, Knight admonished The New Day Superstar, taking his anger out on Woods.
Woods did not take kindly to this and the two proceeded to engage in a brawl, setting up this match next week.
Woods has defeated Knight in the past. Can Woods do the same again or can Knight knock off the New Day member?
Shinsuke Nakamura returns
WWE’s official preview:
“The King of Strong Style” Shinsuke Nakamura returns to action!
Nakamura hasn’t been seen since before the new year, facing off with Santos Escobar in the SmackDown on FOX World Cup First Round.
In that time, Nakamura has kept busy, facing off against The Great Muta in one of his final matches before being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.
What impact will Nakamura have, being back on the blue brand?
