The July 3rd WWE Friday Night SmackDown Episode Preview & What You Need To Know:

  • The brand new Undisputed WWE Champion Sami Zayn will be opening up SmackDown tonight in Atlantic City after the biggest win of his career as he secured his 1st Ever World Title Reign. Now that he's at the top, new challengers and opponents await, but what does he have to say after this major win? We'll find out tonight on Friday Night SmackDown.

  • Rey Fenix will be taking on El Hijo del Vikingo, who on NXT just successfully defended his AAA Latin American Title against EK Prosper. Still, he isn’t satisfied as he looks to add another belt to the collection as he looks to try to take Rey Fenix’s AAA World Cruiserweight Title. Rey Fenix has already defeated the likes of Axiom, Laredo Kid, and Nathan Frazer, as he looks to add El Hijo del Vikingo next on that list.

  • B-Fab, Jade Cargill & Michin will be going at Alexa Bliss, Chelsea Green & the WWE Women’s United States Champions Tiffany Stratton as a Six-Woman Tag Team Match will occur tonight on SmackDown.

  • Brie Bella, the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion with Paige, will be going up against the young prospect from Fatal Influence in Lainey Reid, who has been someone whom a lot of people expect to be another star in this industry as she looks to take down the WWE Hall of Famer tonight on SmackDown.
