You can officially pencil in a new match for tonight's edition of WWE Friday Night SmackDown.
Ahead of the weekly two-hour blue brand WWE on FOX program, the company has announced a pair of new singles bouts for tonight's show.
WWE.com released announcements to confirm Sami Zayn vs. Shinsuke Nakamura, as well as Butch vs. Xavier Woods for tonight's show:
Shinsuke Nakamura looks to overthrow the “locker room leader” Sami Zayn
The self-proclaimed “locker room leader” Sami Zayn is out to prove his value once again to The Bloodline by stepping in to deal with a disgruntled Shinsuke Nakamura.
The King of Strong Style has had his sights set on The Head of the Table ever since Roman Reigns and his cousins The Usos ruthlessly attacked him after putting Nakamura’s guitar-riffing herald on the injured list.
When Nakamura attempted to call out the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion, he was answered by Zayn who was out to prove he can be a vital asset to The Bloodline. “The Master Strategist” was able to outwit Nakamura after catching him by surprise with a Helluva Kick to earn a count out victory.
With Nakamura still chomping at the bit to get to Reigns, can he flip the script and clear this roadblock to The Bloodline? Find out tonight on SmackDown at 8/7 C on FOX!
The official WWE website also released this announcement regarding the Butch vs. Xavier Woods match:
Xavier Woods set for fight night with Butch
Xavier Woods is ready to show Butch the true meaning of fight night after laying down a one-on-one challenge to the rabid bruiser.
The frenzied attack dog for Sheamus and Ridge Holland has repeatedly and randomly pummeled Woods and Kofi Kingston throughout their run-ins with the UK trio with Butch taking advantage of their superior numbers to defeat Kingston this past week.
Woods has been the only Superstar to tame the wild Butch, recording back-to-back victories to rain on the newcomer’s debut.
Can Woods prevail once again and earn some retribution for his New Day partner or will the numbers game come into play once again? Tun in to SmackDown tonight at 8/7 C on FOX to find out!
