Last week on WWE SmackDown, the WWE Universe saw the first night of the WWE Draft. The Cincinnati, Ohio crowd saw Bianca Belair, the first overall draft pick, remain on the Blue brand, and one of the fastest rising stars in history, Carmelo Hayes, make his way to WWE Friday Night SmackDown.
This week’s iteration of Friday night fight night will include a monumental WWE Tag Team Championship Match, as well as a “face-off” against the number one contender for the Undisputed WWE Championship and the champion himself ahead of their clash at WWE Backlash in Léon, France.
Get ready for an exhilarating ride. The upcoming Backlash Go-Home edition of SmackDown is packed with excitement and anticipation. So, Don’t you dare miss it. Here’s a full preview of the latest episode of WWE SmackDown.
Let’s run it down.

On this week’s SmackDown, the WWE Universe will witness the inaugural episode of the “RKO Show” starring Randy Orton and Kevin Owens. These two have been allies, and they have been foes. However, they do share one thing in common, and that’s their disdain for Tama Tonga and Solo Sikoa, collectively known as The Bloodline.

With all the things that went down over the past few weeks, it seems like the RKO Show is more than likely going to focus on their shared enemies and their upcoming tag team war at WWE Backlash. What exactly do Orton and Owens have in store for the fans, and especially for Tonga and Sikoa?

Going Under?
The undefeated, even though they haven’t defended it since they won it at WWE WrestleMania XL, WWE Tag Team Champions A-Town Down Under will defend their newly won crown against multi-time former tag team champions The Street Profits. Grayson Waller and Austin Theory have been nothing short of cocky since securing those titles at the “Grandest Stage of them All.”
Of course, when you’re that loud and bold, they were bound to ruffle a few feathers, and that they did. Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins earned this shot a few weeks ago by coming out on top against Legado Del Fantasma, Authors of Pain, and the New Catch Republic. And now, they want to put an end to all of this gloating by notching another championship win under their belts.
However, it will be challenging for the Profits. As much as most feel that Theory and Waller are obnoxious loudmouths, these two are some of the most talented young stars the WWE has on their books, and there’s no doubt in anyone’s mind they will give it their all to retain those titles.
That and a lot more on this week’s red-hot Backlash go-home edition of WWE SmackDown, which you can catch only on Fox!
