The winner of that will face Roman Reigns that same night for the Universal Championship. A tall task, but a massive opportunity nonetheless. On Friday night, however, they will all face off in tag team action. <strong>Kevin Owens<\/strong> teams with <strong>Daniel Bryan<\/strong> and the red-hot <strong>Cesaro<\/strong> to face <strong>Jey Uso<\/strong>, <strong>King Corbin<\/strong>, and <strong>Sami Zayn<\/strong>. One would have to think that whoever gets the pinfall will carry the momentum into Sunday, but it&#8217;s more of a situation where each competitor needs to resist from injuring themselves. Oh, and &#8220;The Tribal Chief&#8221; will likely be watching, which is enough added pressure for all involved.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Ding Dong, Hello Returns With Nia Jax &amp; Shayna Baszler As Guests<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wwe.com\/f\/styles\/talent_champion_xl\/public\/all\/2021\/02\/20210219_SD_MatchPreview_FC--08edcf866dbbb581d9e832182c6de08f.jpg\" alt=\"Ding Dong Hello SmackDown Bayley\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The critically acclaimed talk show, Ding Dong, Hello, returns on Friday Night SmackDown as <strong>Bayley<\/strong> hosts.
