The January 12, 2024 episode of Friday Night SmackDown is scheduled to be aired live from the Pinnacle Bank Arena in Lincoln, Nebraska, United States. WWE has booked some of the exciting matches for the show, targeting the future storyline feuds and the upcoming Royal Rumble PLE. Here is a detailed preview, prediction, news, rumors, timing and telecast details of this week’s episode of WWE SmackDown.
Last week at SmackDown New Year’s Revolution, Cameron Grimes confronted Logan Paul, Austin Theory, and Grayson Waller after the US Champion was knocked out by Kevin Owens. They eventually heated up a brawl and resulted in a singles match between Waller and Grimes this week.
Last week on SmackDown, Damage CTRL celebrated IYO SKY’s victory, where Bianca Belair announced her Royal Rumble entry and eventually challenged one from Damage CTRL for a match next week. SKY and Kai asked Bayley to handle the battle and left her alone, as a result the match was made official for this week.
As per speculations, Bianca Belair will win the match, as no Damage CTRL members will be on Bayley’s side for help. This will initiate a big internal issue inside the Damage CTRL.
Santos Escobar left LWO and was joined by Los Lotharios. Last week on SmackDown, Escobar’s former partners Joaquin Wilde and Cruz Del Toro attacked Angel Garza and Humberto Carillo before Escobar’s match, which made him the initial distraction. It resulted in a tag team match this week.
