Tonight's episode of SmackDown is almost sold out, with only a few tickets remaining. As expected, ticket prices vary based on the venue, event popularity, and seating location.
As of now, only two matches have been announced by GM Nick Aldis for tonight's show. Those will be the qualifiers for the King and Queen of the Ring tournament. Other than that, the show will feature a stacked line-up of superstars, including John Cena, Naomi, Tiffany Stratton, all of whom are advertised for the show.
The Cenation Leader will return to the blue brand with the Undisputed WWE Championship to address the chaotic events of Money in the Bank. He will also talk about his upcoming clash with CM Punk at the Night of Champions, as the two icons will battle in a match for one last time.
Moreover, Miss Money in the Bank Naomi will also shed light on what's next for her now that she holds the coveted briefcase. Apart from that, Jacob Fatu will be in the building to talk about his shocking turn on Solo Sikoa at Money in the Bank last weekend, a moment that left the WWE Universe stunned.
The qualifying matches for the King and Queen of the Ring Tournaments will also be underway on SmackDown. Sami Zayn qualified on Monday Night RAW by defeating Dominik Mysterio, Bron Breakker, and Penta. Tonight, one of four superstars in a Fatal Four-Way will look to advance to the semi-finals against Zayn.
On the women's side, Roxanne Perez qualified by beating Kairi Sane, Rhea Ripley, and Liv Morgan on RAW this week. Now, another Fatal Four-Way match will be held for a spot in the semi-finals of the Queen of the Ring Tournament.
