Preview For Tonight’s SmackDown Live
Just days away from the WWE Greatest Royal Rumble this Friday at 12PM EST on the WWE Network, tonight’s final episode of SmackDown Live before the event emanates from the KFC Yum! Center in Louisville, Kentucky. Below are the main points WWE.com is focusing on for tonight’s show which airs at 8PM EST on the USA Network. You can catch Mitchell’s Live SmackDown Report right here on The Chairshot also beginning at 8PM. The Chairshot staff will also be tweeting out their live reactions, which you can follow/join in with on our Twitter account (@theCHAIRSHOTcom or link at the top of this page):
- MizTV with special guest Daniel Bryan
- Jimmy Uso vs. one-half of the SmackDown Tag Champs Erick Rowan
- Backlash Contract Signing with SmackDown Women’s Champion Carmella & Charlotte Flair
- Asuka makes her debut in tag action with Becky Lynch against The IIconics
EA’s Take: It’s not said here, but I think we can also expect more of Shinsuke/Styles and likely more seeds planted for Randy Orton vs. Jeff Hardy after Jeff kind of took Orton’s “shine” last week. Plus, all the other new additions from last week’s Superstar Shake-Up will be in the house after some went to South Africa last Tuesday.

Steve Maclin Cleared for In-Ring Return After TNA Sacrifice Knockout
Steve Maclin has been cleared to return to in-ring action following the knockout he suffered at TNA Sacrifice. On April 22, 2026, Maclin announced on social media, “AIN’T FOUND A WAY TO KILL ME YET. Cleared & ready to get back to work,” confirming he was not diagnosed with a concussion and is ready to resume competition.
The injury occurred early in his World Championship match against Mike Santana when a superkick put Maclin out, leading officials to stop the contest and Eddie Edwards to rush out and brawl with Santana. Referee Alice Lane received praise for her quick recognition of the situation as TNA tended to Maclin and ultimately ruled the match thrown out.
