What to watch on Friday Night Smackdown

Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns will return to the show tonight to defend his championship against Riddle in the main event. The “Tribal Chief” has been off television for nearly a month, last seen helping the Usos unifying the tag championships by defeating RK-Bro. With Randy Orton on the shelf, Riddle has targeted Reigns and directly challenged him to a title match. Paul Heyman placed an interesting stipulation that if Riddle loses, will not be able to challenge for the championship as long as Reigns is the champ. Can we see a title change on Smackdown tonight?

Also on the show, we’ll most likely see more qualifying matches for both the men’s and women’s Money in the Bank ladder match. Lacey Evans, Alexa Bliss, and Doudrop have clinched spots in the women’s match while Seth Rollins has already secured a place in the men’s match. We’ll also be sure to get words from Gunther, who defeated Ricochet for the Intercontinental Championship last week.
