Title Match, Ceremony & More Set For Tomorrow’s Smackdown
October 1, 2020The Tribal Chief will be crown on Smackdown.
WWE is coming off of the Clash of Champions pay-per-view and this Friday will be all the follow-up from that show. WWE has announced a number of things for Smackdown including a title match, Reigns officially being crown the Tribal Chief, and more.
First off WWE has announced that tomorrow night on Smackdown Roman Reigns will be officially crowned as the Tribal Chief.
It was about more than just the title at WWE Clash of Champions. It was about asserting his place at the head of the table for Roman Reigns.
After successfully defending his Universal Championship, Reigns will now be officially crowned the Tribal Chief in a ceremony presided over by Paul Heyman on SmackDown this Friday. The recognition comes on the heels of The Big Dog’s brutal victory over his cousin Jey Uso at WWE Clash of Champions.
What will Reigns have to say about his vicious actions? And will the rest of the legendary Anoa’i family simply accept the champion’s crowning?
All hail the #TribalChief!@WWERomanReigns will be officially crowned the Tribal Chief by @HeymanHustle on #SmackDown!

WWE will also have a title match on the show this week where the new Undisputed Intercontinental Champion Sami Zayn will defend his title against the former champion Jeff Hardy.
Sami Zayn finally has what he wants, but Jeff Hardy is set on righting the wrongs from WWE Clash of Champions. The Great Liberator and The Charismatic Enigma will meet in an Intercontinental Championship clash on Friday Night SmackDown.
Zayn captured the Intercontinental Title in a grueling Triple Threat Winner Take All Ladder Match with Hardy and AJ Styles. As Hardy and The Phenomenal One searched for one last gasp, Zayn searched for the handcuffs he had stashed away. The outspoken Superstar locked Hardy and Styles to ladders and scaled to grab the titles as his competitors could only watch.
Will Zayn resort to more schemes to keep both Intercontinental Titles in his possession? Or will Hardy recapture the gold?

Finally, it was announced that Kevin Owens will be coming to Smackdown this week. Owens will bring “The KO Show” to the blue brand to talk to Alexa Bliss and the odd things that have been happening to her over the last few weeks.
No one on SmackDown has been able to shake Alexa Bliss from the hold The Fiend has over her, so perhaps it’s time to give someone from Raw a try. Kevin Owens will host a special edition of “The KO Show” this Friday as part of the brand-to-brand invitational.
In recent weeks, Bliss has snapped into Sister Abigail attacks on Nikki Cross and Lacey Evans after the utterance of The Fiend’s name. Then, the chilling emergence of The Fiend’s image last week caused Bliss to manically attack The Sassy Southern Belle.
Will Owens be able to help free Bliss from The Fiend’s grasp? Or will the demonic figure use the opportunity to pull Bliss further into the darkness?
So far this is all that has been announced for Smackdown. If we do hear anything further on this show, we will have it here and on the PWUnlimited YouTube Channel.
