Smackdown 10/23 Preview
The Usos vs Daniel Bryan and AJ Styles
Last week on Smackdown 1000, the Usos defeated Daniel Bryan and AJ Styles in a tag-team match. The two men who will wrestle for the WWE Championship at Crown Jewel will again take on the Usos tonight.
Daniel Bryan sent a message to the Usos on Twitter earlier this week.
Everyone thinks they’re unbeatable until they get caught by a Small Package! #MrSmallPackage https://t.co/kBjP3Wa4qz

Rey Mysterio on MizTV
Rey Mysterio will be this week’s guest on MizTV. Unfortunately, that likely means there will be no Truth TV tonight.
Mysterio defeated Shinsuke Nakamura to qualify for the WWE World Cup last week. He’ll likely have plenty to say about the upcoming tournament tonight. The host of the MIzTV, Miz is also entered into the tournament.
Rusev vs Aiden English
While some fans were likely hoping they would settle their rivalry in Milwaukee, Aiden English and Rusev will clash tonight. This really could be just the start of this angle or the blow-off depending on how strongly WWE feels about it.
