Hey, everybody, I'm Megan Morant for WWE Now, here to get you set with
everything that you need to know for tonight's Friday Night SmackDown on Fox.
So, let's throw three minutes on the clock, and get to it.
Look out, WWE Universe!
After a tremendous victory over John Cena at WWE Crown Jewel,
Solo Sikoa makes his way back to the blue brand.
>> Speaker 2: Went for the AA, Sikoa able to counter into a Samoan drop.
>> Speaker 1: Sikoa's destruction over the greatest of all time was so brutal,
it has many wondering if we've seen the last of John Cena.
With this large feather in his cap, one can only imagine
the level of destruction The Bloodline's Enforcer has planned next.
Well, let me tell you something, if I was the rest of the SmackDown locker room,
I'd be watching my back.
LA Knight is still not finished with The Bloodline, and he's got a bone
to pick with the very man that cost him the title at WWE Crown Jewel, Jimmy Uso.
>> Speaker 3: And so a lot of people might think, well, you know what,
back to the drawing board, maybe you just go to the back of the line!
No, no!
[NOISE] >> You've got to understand something,
I'm not done with The Bloodline, The Bloodline's not done with me.
>> Speaker 1: Knight bounced back from his loss to Roman Reigns by overcoming
Grayson Waller last week in a fierce contest.
So, can LA Knight continue his path back to the Head of the Table
with a win over Jimmy Uso tonight?
Welcome to Damage Control.], Asuka.
>> Speaker 2: [NOISE] >> Obviously not desperate enough.
[NOISE] >> My goodness!
Asuka just misted her partner, Bianca Belair!
[NOISE] >> What the hell is this all about?
>> Speaker 1: In a surprise turn of events,
The Empress of Tomorrow has aligned herself with Damage Control,
reuniting with her former partner, Kairi Sane.
With this, the group is now stronger than ever.
And many are wondering, is there anything Bianca Belair,
Charlotte Flair, and Shotzi can do to weaken the now loaded faction?
There are simply no words for
what Santas Escobar did to his mentor and hero last week.
[NOISE]
>> Speaker 1: The heinous assault and
betrayal from Santos Escobar to Rey Mysterio left the LWO completely rattled.
With the rest of the group left to pick up the pieces,
where does Santos Escobar go from here?
As announced yesterday morning, WWE Backlash is officially headed to France.
We, France will host its first ever WWE premium live event
emanating from the LDLC arena on Saturday, May 4th, 2024.
In addition, the arena will also host SmackDown the night before,
marking the first time the blue brand has been broadcast from France.
With the smell of baguettes and croissants already wafting our way,
we can't wait until WWE Backlash France.
There you have it, that's the latest from around the WWE Universe, but still so
much more to come, we'll see you tonight at 8/7 Central on Fox.
