WWE announced during last night’s episode of SmackDown that next week’s episode of the show, which is the final WWE SmackDown episode of 2022, that three massive matches will take place. It was announced that Lacey Evans will return to in-ring action following a recent minor injury as well as a number of military-themed video vignettes, Solo Sikoa will face Sheamus in Singles action and SmackDown Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey will defend her WWE SmackDown Women’s Title against Raquel Rodriguez, who won a #1 Contender’s Gauntlet Match to earn an opportunity at The Baddest Woman On The Planet.
This comes after it was announced that The Bloodline’s Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns and Sami Zayn will take on 16-time World Champion John Cena and Kevin Owens in a Tag Team Match. Next Friday’s episode of WWE SmackDown will take place from the Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida.
