Multiple Things Announced For Friday’s Smackdown

March 12, 2021 0 By Tim Jarrell

Three things are set for Smackdown.

Tomorrow night on Smackdown WWE has announced a number of different things for the show. A contract signing, a talk show, and a return.

First off WWE has announced that we will be getting a contract signing for the Universal Title match at Fastlane. Daniel Bryan earned this match after defeating Jey Uso last week on Smackdown inside a steel cage.

Last week in a hellacious Steel Cage Match against Jey Uso, Daniel Bryan earned the right to challenge Roman Reigns for the Universal Championship at WWE Fastlane, where he aims to finally humble The Head of the Table and carry the prestigious title to a main event battle with WWE Hall of Famer Edge at WrestleMania. This week on Friday Night SmackDown, Reigns and Bryan will participate in a contract signing to make that anticipated WWE Fastlane match official.

Bryan last battled The Big Dog for the Universal Championship at WWE Elimination Chamber, squaring off against the self-aggrandizing titleholder after outlasting five other Superstars inside the imposing Elimination Chamber. Reigns saw an opportunity to prey upon the fatigued “Yes!” Man following that grueling contest, granting Bryan his title match the very same night. The Big Dog made the submission expert tap out to his feared Guillotine, but not even the machinations of Reigns or his Special Counsel Paul Heyman could keep Bryan from earning another opportunity at WWE Fastlane on Sunday, March 21, at 7 ET/ 4 PT, steaming live in partnership with Peacock and WWE Network.

Can Bryan and Reigns keep the peace as they put pen to paper for their Universal Title rematch?

Next up, technically announced last week, Big E will return to Smackdown this week after being off for the last few weeks. The Intercontinental Champion has been aff after Apollo Crews dropped the steel steps on him over the top rope to the floor below.

Three weeks after sustaining a brachial plexus injury at the hands of Apollo Crews, Intercontinental Champion Big E is back on SmackDown.

Relentless pursuit of E’s prestigious title has inspired Crews to embrace who he truly is, flaunting his family’s wealth, dominance and power to the WWE Universe. Crews demands an Intercontinental Championship rematch from The Powerhouse of Positivity and will not rest until the titleholder has fallen at his feet. How will E respond to Crews’ vicious new attitude?

Finally, it was announced that we will get a new KO Show this week on Smackdown. Kevin Owens will host both challengers and tag team partners Friday when he has the Smackdown Women’s Champion Sasha Banks and the winner of the 2021 Women Royal Rumble Bianca Belair on the show.

One week before WrestleMania opponents Bianca Belair and SmackDown Women’s Champion Sasha Banks team up to challenge Nia Jax & Shayna Baszler for the WWE Women’s Tag Team Titles at WWE Fastlane, Kevin Owens invites The Boss and The EST of WWE to what’s sure to be an exciting installment of “The KO Show.”

Though united in pursuit of those tandem titles, they’ll both give it their all when they collide on The Grandest Stage of Them All. Will Owens’ talk show bring Belair and Banks together or tear them apart?

So far this is the only stuff that has been announced for this week’s Friday Night Smackdown. If we do hear anything else regarding this week’s blue branded show on FOX, we will have it here and on the PWUnlimited YouTube Channel.
