WWE Friday Night Smackdown preview and schedule: February 4, 2022

While
nothing
else
has
been
confirmed
for
the
post-Rumble
edition
of
the
show,
we
believe
to
have
a
re-alignment
segment
between
WWE
Universal
Champion
Roman
Reigns
and
Paul
Heyman
when
Smackdown
airs
from
the
Paycom
Center
in
Oklahoma
City,
Oklahoma.

The
2022
Women’s
Royal
Rumble
Match
winner
Ronda
Rousey
made
her
triumphant
return
to
Raw,
this
past
Monday
night
after
an
absence
of
almost
three
years.

Before
she
could
make
her
decision
about
the
WrestleMania
38
main
event,
Raw
Women’s
Champion
Becky
Lynch
appeared
to
reignite
their
rivalry.
Big
Time
Becks
also
pressurized
to
choose
her
as
the
‘Mania
opponent,
right
there.

Rousey
doesn’t
like
to
be
pushed
and
she
was
quick
to
fire
back
with
a
judo
throw
to
the
champion.
After
holding
Becky
down
by
her
arm,
she
stated
that
she
will
give
her
answer
during
the
coming
episode
of
SmackDown
on
FOX.

That
being
said,
this
will
be
the
first
time
in
her
WWE
career
that
the
UFC
Hall
of
Famer
will
step
her
foot
on
the
blue
brand.
Reports
are
claiming
that
she
will
choose
Smackdown
Women’s
Champion,
Charlotte
Flair
as
her
Wrestlemania
opponent
and
she
might
just
opt
to
do
make
the
announcement
in
the
presence
of
the
champion.

Paul
Heyman
is
admittedly
set
to
explain
his
actions
from
this
past
Royal
Rumble
where
he
turned
on
Brock
Lesnar
and
got
back
on
the
same
page
with
Roman
Reigns.

As
seen
on
this
past
Saturday
night,
Heyman
betrayed
Brock
Lesnar
by
handing
the
WWE
Title
belt
to
Roman
Reigns
who
delivered
a
sneak
attack
on
Lesnar,
helping
Bobby
Lashley
to
become
the
new
WWE
Champion.
Later
that
night,
Lesnar
won
the
30-Man
Royal
Rumble
Match,
and
over
on
Raw,
he
has
picked
Reigns
as
his
WrestleMania
38
opponent.

WWE
then
tweeted
a
photo
of
Heyman
assisting
Reigns
at
The
Rumble,
and
questioned
if
these
two
always
had
planned
for
this
betrayal
since
their
parting
away
in
December.

Heyman
responded
to
the
tweet
with
the
below
post
and
confirmed
that
he
will
“reveal
all”
during
this
week’s
SmackDown:

“Is
it
really
in
anyone’s
best
interest
to
post
conspiracy
theories
like
this,
instead
of
merely
enjoying
the
anticipation
until
I
reveal
all
on
tomorrow
night’s
@WWE
#Smackdown
LIVE
on
@FOXTV
@WWE
@WWERomanReigns
@WWEUsos
@BrockLesnar.”

At
this
point,
Lesnar
isn’t
scheduled
to
be
on
Smackdown.
But
he
was
on
Raw
to
note
that
his
WrestleMania
38
match
with
Reigns
will
be
a
Title
vs.
Title
match.

The
Beast
plans
on
capturing
the
WWE
Title
in
the
Elimination
Chamber
match
on
February
19
in
Saudi
Arabia.
Lashley
will
defend
his
title
against
Lesnar,
Austin
Theory,
AJ
Styles,
Riddle,
and
Seth
Rollins
inside
the
Chamber
structure.

We’d
possibly
get
to
know
about
Roman
Reigns’
title
match
opponent
for
the
upcoming
PPV
event
where
his
cousins
will
also
be
in
action.
WWE
has
just
confirmed
that
WWE
SmackDown
Tag
Team
Titles
held
by
the
Usos
will
be
on
the
line
at
the
upcoming
WWE
Elimination
Chamber
Premium
Live
Event.

The

#VikingRaiders
will
look
to
knock
The

@WWEUsos
off
the
top
of
the
mountain
in
a
highly
anticipated
showdown
for
the

#SmackDown
Tag
Team
Titles
at

#WWEChamber!

The
Viking
Raiders
–
Erik
and
Ivar
will
challenge
the
Bloodline
members
for
the
tag
titles.
They
earned
the
title
shot
by
winning
a
Fatal
4
Way
on
the
January
14
SmackDown
over
Mansoor
and
Cesaro,
Jinder
Mahal
and
Shanky,
and
Los
Lotharios.

Following
the
announcement,
the
rivalry
over
the
tag
team
championships
should
get
amped
up
when
Smackdown
arrives
with
the
fallouts
from
the
bygone
Royal
Rumble
event.
