WWE Friday Night Smackdown (August 16, 2024 episode) Preview, Match Card, Results ft Roman Reigns

By | August 16, 2024

The WWE universe continues to barrel ahead to Bash in Berlin, with the scene returning to the Blue Brand and all of its storylines. Following last week’s re-emergence of Roman Reigns, one can only wonder what next is in store for the Bloodline faction. Will this be the week where Reigns’ opponent for the next PLE, Bash in Berlin, gets revealed or at least hinted at?

Meanwhile, Cody Rhodes is still the reigning champion with a date ahead against friend Kevin Owens. New WWE Women’s title holder Nia Jax will make her first appearance since adding the belt to her Queen of the Ring crown. Here’s a look through everything we already know about Friday’s show, and your spot to come back for live results as the matches and promos take place.

Date: Friday, August 16, 2024
Time: 8 pm ET
Location: Orlando, FL
Broadcast: FOX 

  • Roman Reigns is scheduled to appear
  • Money in the Bank breifcase holder Tiffany Stratton will celebrate Jax’s coronation
  • Street Profits vs #DIY in No. 1 Contenders match
    • This is a good shot for the Street Profits to regain some noteriety as they’ve been on the backburner for far too long for a team this good at what they do.
  • Naomi vs Blair Davenport
    • Naomi has come to the aid of Jade Cargill and Bianca Belair as Davenport has sided with Isla Dawn and Alba Fyre. Now they clash.
  • Kevin Owens vs Grayson Waller
    • Owens is working his way back into shape against the Aussie everyone loves to hate.

Nia Jax / Tiffany Stratton Promo

An in-ring coronation of Jax as the WWE Women’s Champion was a sight to behold. In all pink Stratton laced Jax with accolades and she was serenaded by Pretty Deadly. It was as ridiculous as it sounds. The important takeaways? Jax demanded Stratton bow down, fueling what will inevitably be a reason for division between the two and Stratton’s eventual cashing in of the Money in the Bank briefcase. Second, Michin stormed in the ring to (thankfully) interrupt Pretty Deadly the Musical with the kendo stick, identifying she’s going to be next up as a foil for Jax.
