Roman Reigns, Mixed Tag & More Announced For Next Week's SmackDown

WWE have set up several matches and segments already for next week’s episode of Friday Night SmackDown, with it being a night with some big matches and names involved. The Undisputed WWE Universal Champion will be making his return to the blue brand after a week’s absence. He will be in attendance likely to address the ongoing drama in The Bloodline faction in which Jey Uso is currently conflicted between his own twin brother Jimmy Uso and Roman Reigns. 

The ongoing feud between AJ Styles and Karrion Kross will continue with a mixed tag team match in which Kross will team up with Scarlett and Styles will team up with fellow OC member Michin. This will be only Scarlett’s second televised match since returning to WWE alongside Kross last year. 

The next challengers for Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn’s Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championships will be decided too, as a gauntlet match featuring several of SmackDown’s teams will be taking place. The teams involved are The Brawling Brutes (Sheamus & Ridge Holland), Pretty Deadly, The OC, Street Profits and LWO (Joaquin Wilde & Cruz Del Toro). 

Finally, the newly returned Charlotte Flair will be appearing on the Grayson Waller Effect talk show to follow up on her challenge to Asuka for the WWE Women’s Championship.
