WWE Smackdown Preview (16/12/22): Roman Reigns Returns; Two Title Matches

On what promises to be a packed night of WWE Smackdown, Roman Reigns is returning after multiple weeks’ hiatus. WWE Intercontinental Title as well as the WWE Women’s Tag Team Titles will be on the line on the show that will also witness a huge Triple Threat Tag Team encounter from the All-State Arena in Chicago, Illinois.

WWE emphasizes each of the appearances of Roman Reigns on TV and this week’s episode of WWE Smackdown will be no different. For the first time since The Bloodline’s victory in the WarGames Match at Survivor Series PLE, The Tribal Chief of the WWE will be here onboard to address the fans and possibly have a coronation of Sami Zayn as a full-time member of the top faction of the WWE.

If the current rumors are to be believed, then Reigns is scheduled to defend his Undisputed WWE Universal Championship against Kevin Owens at the upcoming Royal Rumble premium live event. If that’s the case then Owens may possibly interrupt Reigns’ segment on WWE Smackdown to set up the title bout.

Also, there are reports claiming that Sami Zayn could also be in line for a title match opportunity against Reigns as The Bloodline will eventually turn on him. Rumors are also swirling that the surprise attack could happen, tonight as Zayn has particularly been advised to get dressed up for the occasion.

WWE Smackdown Preview (16/12/22): Intercontinental Title Match

With a win over Mexico’s Santos Escobar in the 2022 WWE SmackDown World Cup Final, Ricochet has gained another opportunity to go after GUNTHER for the Intercontinental Championship. Last week, these two men met in the ring for a contract signing session to make the title match official for this week.

That being said, the high-flying superstar will now collide with the leader of the Imperium in this high-octane title match. Prior to this, Ricochet had unsuccessfully challenged GUNTHER for the Intercontinental Championship June 24 episode of WWE Smackdown. This also marked GUNTHER’s first title defense after he defeated Ricochet, himself to win the IC title on June 10.

WWE Smackdown Preview (16/12/22): Women’s Tag Team Title Match

After a surprise return during the December 9 episode of WWE SmackDown, Tegan Nox teamed with Liv Morgan to take on Smackdown Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey and Shayna Baszler in her first match back in the scene.

Raquel Rodriguez came down to the ring to distract Baszler and Rousey from the action as she was seeking redemption against these two superstars who attacked her a few weeks ago to hurt her elbow. This distraction allowed Nox to connect with the Shining Wizard on Baszler as Morgan received the pinfall win.

Working as a well-oiled machine, now Morgan and Nox are getting ready to possibly call themselves champions as WWE booked them in a tag team title match against DAMAGE CTRL – Dakota Kai and IYO SKY. The two teams already have enough beef against themselves and this one should be a rough battle.

WWE Smackdown Preview (16/12/22): Triple Threat Tag Team Match

Hit Row sparked a three-way brawl with The Viking Raiders and Legado del Fantasma on last week’s WWE Smackdown when the two teams were duking it out in a hard-hitting contest. This was caused due to LDF and The Vikings previously taking out the babyface faction due to their earlier beef.

Adonis and Top Dolla have thereby managed to seek redemption by taking out their adversaries and now they will look forward to securing a win over them as the three are booked to compete in a tag team bout. Since this will also ensure a No-DQ capacity, expect an all-out brawl among them during this match, tonight.
