Here&#8217;s the rundown of the card.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Bayley Explains Her Actions From Last Week<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/8G6BrMD.jpg\" alt=\"SmackDown Bayley\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Bayley<\/strong> savagely destroyed her long time best friend <strong>Sasha Banks<\/strong> last week in a stunning turn of events. Now, the SmackDown Women&#8217;s Champion must answer for her actions as Banks is expected to miss some time with injury. Will someone step up for Banks? Or will Bayley&#8217;s incredible run continue even without her best friend in her corner? All the questions should be answered tonight.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Bray Wyatt Welcomes A New Friend To The Firefly Fun House<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/3g8ve3o.jpg\" alt=\"Bray Wyatt SmackDown\" width=\"1470\" height=\"827\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s been a while since<strong> Bray Wyatt<\/strong> introduced a new friend to the <strong>Firefly Fun House<\/strong> but that ends this week.

There&#8217;s a lot to the story here from Jeff using his knee brace to the return of <strong>Sami Zayn<\/strong> putting a damper on somethings. We will have to wait and see if Zayn takes a special liking to this one or not considering the title he never lost is on the line.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Not Announced But Expected<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>&#8211; The next part of the story in <strong>Roman Reigns<\/strong> vs.<strong> Jey Uso<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8211; <strong>Sheamus<\/strong> on his attack of <strong>Big E<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><strong>More From LWOPW<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Stay tuned to the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonprowrestling.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Last Word on Pro Wrestling<\/a>\u00a0for more on this and other stories from around the world of wrestling, as they develop.
