Will Kofi Kingston accept KO’s invitation?
Kofi Kingston and Kevin Owens are set to battle for the WWE Title this Sunday after weeks of personal attacks, blindside assaults and several raucous brawls.
And now, just five nights before the showdown, Owens has invited Kingston to join him on The Kevin Owens Show tonight on Smackdown. Even last week KO mocked Kofi using action figures and that led to a brawl.
How will Kofi react this week? Will The Dreadlocked Dynamo accept Owens' invitation? If he does what will the mood be if the two come eye-to-eye on the final stop before WWE Money in the Bank?
Fatal 4-Way Match between team blue's MITB contenders
Team Blue's Finn Balor, Ali, Andrade and Randy Orton are set to put their bodies on the line when they compete in the Men's Money in the Bank Ladder Match on Sunday, but they will first look to gain momentum when they battle tonight in a Fatal 4-Way Match.

Rose & Deville to battle Asuka & Kairi Sane
For the past few weeks, Smackdown's newest tandem Asuka & Kairi Sane along side Paige have taken the Women's Tag Team division by storm, picking up victory after victory, but can they topple one of the division's most experienced duo in Mandy Rose & Sonya Deville?
With WWE Money in the Bank now within arm's reach, the two teams enter with different very different goals. Asuka & Sane are simply looking to continue building their case towards a WWE Women's Tag Team Championship opportunity against The IIconics, while Mandy & Sonya will, of course, have at least some of their focus on the Women's Money in the Bank Ladder Match.
Which squad will prevail when they square off tonight? Will the current title holders play a role? Can Rose and Deville still work as a team?
How will Lynch respond to double team assault?
WWE Raw and Smackdown Women's champion Becky Lynch suffered a two on one attack at the hands of her opponents for the weekend, Charlotte Flair and Lacey Evans.
Becky's attempt to throw hands with both women after civility inevitably broke down after trash talks led to her being double-powerbomed through the signing table by Flair and Evans. So, she will be looking to hit back at the duo or at least Charlotte, who belongs to Smackdown. Although, she is not being advertised for the show, Lynch may show up.
If she does appear, how will the double champ respond? Will Charlotte and Lacey gain more momentum? Find out tonight on Smackdown.
Reigns and Elias feud
Roman Reigns once again used the Wild Card Rule last night on Raw. He was a guest on the Miz TV, in which he had a good interview with the Hollywood A-Lister until Shane McMahon brought along two enforcers - Bobby Lashley and Elias to attack Reigns and Miz from behind to set up a tag team match.
The match ended in a disqualification after Shane-O-Mac interfered. Shane with the help of Lashley & Elias ganged up on Reigns and Miz. However, Reigns & Miz achieved a moral victory from the ashes of the post-match beatdown when Reigns took out the entire opposition with a dive over the ropes and Miz helped chase Lashley and Elias away with a steel chair.
So, there is a huge chance Shane brings his troops for another attack on Reigns. How will Reigns respond this time? Will the Big Dog get help from the Miz again? Find out tonight on Smackdown.
Daniel Bryan and Rowan's next challenge
Daniel Bryan and Rowan were surprisingly crowned Tag Team champions of Smackdown. But, they were just not handed the titles, the pair had to battle former tandem title holders Jimmy and Jey Uso of Raw.
After The Hardy Boyz were forced to relinquish the titles two week ago, Shane McMahon promised to crown new champions last week and announced that he had chosen Daniel Bryan & Rowan to be the new Tag Team Champions. However, before he could bestow the titles upon them, Raw Superstars The Usos arrived and, via the "Wild Card Rule," convinced Shane that Bryan & Rowan should have to earn the titles. And that's what the team blue's pair did to win the titles.
Now, the focus will shift to which team will challenge them for the titles. Last week, they were confronted by their potential opponents in the Heavy Machinery. Will they be the contenders? Or is there any other team on the blue brand that could challenge the new champs? Find out when Smackdown airs later.
Rest of the roster
Apart from the aforementioned names, the likes of Jinder Mahal, R-Truth, Matt Hardy, Aleister Black, Lars Sullivan, Liv Morgan and more will be involved in some capacity.
Plus, we could also see the team blue's Money in the Bank contenders, Bayley, Ember Moon and Carmella in action tonight on Smackdown.
