As noted last week, a huge main event match is scheduled to take place tonight with the winner being fed into The Fiend. SmackDown will be the host to a Triple Threat with the lineup of The Miz vs. Daniel Bryan vs. King Baron Corbin. The winner will go on to challenge WWE Universal Champion "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt for the title at the 2020 Royal Rumble pay-per-view.
King Corbin received the opportunity after claiming a victory over Roman Reigns at WWE TLC whereas The Miz still has some personal grudge to settle with the champion. However, no one has better chances to win the bout other than Daniel Bryan.
With a changed look and attitude, the American Dragon is back for vengeance against Wyatt’s resurrected version. Reports also confirmed that Bryan is a sure-shot winner to get a title rematch at the first PPV of 2020.

We can also expect Roman Reigns to be back around the scene during this matchup after a week's absence. Back at TLC, Corbin laid waste to him with the help of his heel companions. Now he should be ready to receive his paycheck back where The Big Dog could be unleashed to bite him down. The good thing is that the main event will be contested under No Disqualification rules that make things even worse for Corbin.
The women's championship rivalry took a new turn on SmackDown in the past couple of weeks. The originally planned beef between Bayley and Lacey Evans now has Sasha Banks into the mix who decided to go below the belt. Last week, The Boss took verbal shots to Evans' daughter Summer which was totally uncalled for. Evans snapped after this going for an ambush on Sasha and tried to get really 'nasty' on Instagram.

"A Moment of Bliss" returns on Friday Night SmackDown as Lacey Evans joins host Alexa Bliss on the always controversial talk show to address her recent hostilities with Sasha Banks and SmackDown Women's Champion Bayley.
The rivalry between Evans and Banks hit new heights last week as The Boss taunted The Lady's daughter with a little ringside trash talk. The interaction incensed Evans as she delivered Banks a flurry of rights that forced Bayley and Dana Brooke to enter the fray.
How far has Banks pushed Evans? What message will The Lady have for her "nasty" adversaries? Bliss digs deep in search of answers in the FOX debut of "A Moment of Bliss" on SmackDown at 8/7 C."
