WWE Smackdown Preview (09/04/21): Wrestlemania face-off set
SmackDown will feature appearances by WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns, Daniel Bryan, and WWE Hall of Famer Edge to plug in their Triple Threat Match scheduled on Night Two. Last week, Daniel Bryan sent a message to his two opponents when he tapped out Jey Uso with the YES Lock and then pounced on them.
Edge was sent to the ring post while Roman Reigns also suffered the agony of getting locked into YES Lock as the show ended. The prior week it was Edge who stood tall hammering on Bryan and Reigns. Going by the storyline, it’s time for the champion to stand tall, this week to make everyone understand that he’s the Head of the Table.
Another special attraction for the night would be a Fatal 4 Way Match contested for the SmackDown Tag Team Titles, currently held by Robert Roode and Dolph Ziggler. WWE has since confirmed the participants for the Fatal 4 Way match where challengers would be Roode and Ziggler defending against the Alpha Academy – Otis and Chad Gable, Rey Mysterio, and Dominik Mysterio, and The Street Profits – Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins.
A title change seems imminent to set up the mood for WrestleMania week. Roode and Ziggler haven’t received an opportunity to shine bright during their title reign and they might just drop the belts. The Mysterios could pick up the belts to have their big moment of holding titles as a rare father-son duo. Although, it won’t be a true WrestleMania moment since this takes place on SmackDown.
