This week’s episode of Friday Night SmackDown will be the first show for the blue brand after WrestleMania 39 and it should be interesting to say the least. At WrestleMania 39, Roman Reigns successfully defended the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship against Cody Rhodes in the main event, but it doesn’t sound like fans should expect to see him tonight.
The WRKD Wrestling account is reporting that there are no plans for The Tribal Chief to appear on SmackDown this week. However, it is also being reported that there will be a segment on SmackDown that will further the tension between Jey Uso and Paul Heyman
Please keep in mind that things are currently volatile and things can change on a whim:
