This weekend, WWE Smackdown will present the final episode before Summerslam 2023 finally airs on the WWE Network. That being said, it’s easy to assume that the final storyline angles will be brought on TV around the matches that will culminate at the PLE. Eyeing the goal of a solid build, multiple segments have been announced by the WWE for this Friday night.
One of the main highlights for WWE Smackdown will be the presence of Jey Uso, who will be seen making final preparations for his monumental showdown with Roman Reigns. For the third time in his career, Jey will go toe-to-toe against The Tribal Chief at SummerSlam 2023 with the Undisputed WWE Universal Title hanging in balance.

Now, we expect to hear what Jey has to offer in what appears to be a promo segment. There’s no update on Reigns’ presence on the show but he’s likely to opt himself out of it with a huge title defense waiting just within a few hours. Jey and Roman already met in the segment, last week to make their match, official for Summerslam.
Last week on WWE Smackdown, Jey Uso faced Grayson Waller in the main event match. Once the contest was over, he was brutally attacked by his cousin Roman Reigns and brother Solo Sikoa. The devastating Spear/Samoan Spike combos left Jey lying in the middle of the ring. Now, we will hear from “Main Event” Jey Uso, himself as he prepares to go into the Tribal Combat against The Head of the Table just one night before SummerSlam.

WWE Smackdown: Triple Threat Match participants to appear
Apart from Jey Uso, WWE Women’s Champion Asuka will also be present on WWE Smackdown along with her two challengers for WWE SummerSlam, Bianca Belair, and Charlotte Flair. These three names have been butting their heads for the title ever since Asuka got to win the title at Night of Champions in Saudi Arabia.
Weeks of happening already built up a tense rivalry featuring the trio. But before Asuka heads into her biggest test at SummerSlam in a Triple Threat Match against Belair and Flair, she’s likely to meet them in the ring one last time which might take us through the preview of what’s coming, this Saturday night.
