Former World Champion Appearing, Match Announced For Smackdown

Tonight on WWE Backstage a few things were announced for this Friday’s Smackdown. WWE announced that a former World Heavyweight Champion will be on the show. Also we will once again try to have a match they have tried twice before.

First off we known that The Big Red Machine Kane, the mayor of Knox County will appear on this week’s Smackdown from Greenboro.

On WWE’s website that kind of teased Kane possibly being involved with the Royal Rumble.

“Former WWE Champion and current Mayor of Knox County, Tennessee, Kane makes his return to SmackDown this Friday for a special appearance.

The Big Red Machine has competed in more Royal Rumble matches and has more eliminations than any Superstar in WWE history, and with the match on the horizon, could Kane be ready to make history once again?”

WWE also announced that we will once again try to get a full match out of Lacey Evans and Sasha Banks. Back on December 20th, they tried to do this match and the match started but ended in a double count-out as both women brawled at ringside. Then last week Evans and Banks were supposed to square off but Banks did not show up. This week we will try it yet again.

“After weeks of verbal attacks and plenty of flying fists, Lacey Evans and Sasha Banks will finally meet in the ring on Friday Night SmackDown.

Last week the two Superstars appeared headed for an in-ring clash, but with The Boss off recording her album, The Sassy Southern Belle was left frustrated without an opponent to release her wrath on. SmackDown Women’s Champion Bayley was quick to offer her taunts and reveled in Evans’ despair. As a result, Evans charged up the ramp setting up a backstage collision that saw both competitors land vicious blows.

Will The Boss prove that she is indeed still at the head of SmackDown, or will Evans snag arguably the biggest win of her WWE career by besting The Blueprint?”

This past Monday WWE also announced that Roman Reigns and Robert Roobe will battle this Friday in a tables match.

Friday Night Smackdown comes to us every Friday Night at 8p ET/5pm PT live on FOX.
