WWE SmackDown Preview: Triple Threat Headliner, One Segment

With just hours until bell time, it’s time to look ahead starting with tonight’s episode of WWE Friday Night SmackDown with a preview.

Although WWE has yet to publish the official preview for the show, two things have been announced for the show including a match and segment. 

Top Match

The big match will see Daniel Bryan, The Miz and King Corbin battle it out in a Triple Threat Match for the right to face “The Fiend” Bray Wyatt at Royal Rumble. This will serve as a #1 contender’s match for the WWE Universal Title that Wyatt holds.

WWE holds this show from Detroit, Michigan at Little Caesars Arena. WWE is advertising the following items for tonight’s broadcast as a SmackDown preview:

  • Daniel Bryan, The Miz and King Corbin battle for the right to face Bray Wyatt for the Universal Title at Royal Rumble
