Stamford, December 8 - WWE fans are eagerly anticipating this Friday's edition of SmackDown, which is a special Tribute to the Troops episode set to take place on December 8, 2023, at the Amica Mutual Pavilion in Providence, RI.

Friday Night SmackDown currently airs live every Friday on Fox from 8:00 ET–10:00 PM ET in the United States, while WWE SmackDown starts live at 1 am in the UK on BT Sport 1 on Saturday mornings.



As of the current writing, the show has five segments on its list. Firstly, after celebrating his return on Monday Night Raw, Punk is now set to reemerge on SmackDown. Asuka and Charlotte Flair will collide in a singles match.

The show will also feature two WWE United States Title Tournament Matches. In the first-round match, Dragon Lee will lock horns with Santos Escobar, and the second first-round match features Bobby Lashley vs. Karrion Kross. Additionally, Randy Orton will team up with LA Knight to take on Jimmy Uso and Solo Sikoa.

#1. Randy Orton & LA Knight vs. Jimmy Uso & Solo Sikoa To Main Event

WWE has recently added a colossal tag team bout to this Friday's lineup, featuring Randy Orton & LA Knight squaring off against Jimmy Uso & Solo Sikoa. Last week on SmackDown, Orton officially declared SmackDown as his home. Before signing with SmackDown, Orton found himself face-to-face with Sikoa and Uso. The odds were equalized by Knight, allowing Orton to execute a stunning RKO on Jimmy. The stage is now set for an intense showdown between these two dynamic teams.

The bout appears massive as it includes some of the top stars on the main roster. Therefore, I believe it should headline the main event, with Randy Orton & LA Knight emerging victorious in the match.

#2. CM Punk Confronts Some New Challenger From The Blue Brand

Since CM Punk is a (kayfabe) "free agent," he can appear on any WWE brand. Punk has featured in two consecutive episodes of Raw since making his return to WWE at Survivor Series: WarGames. Now, Punk is set to reemerge on SmackDown.

For the time being, CM Punk is only announced to appear on the show, but it's possible that he could be facing stars from the blue brand.

#3. Ridge Holland vs. Bobby Lashley

Despite an extraordinary effort from Butch, The All Mighty laid waste to him last week on SmackDown. So, there is a high possibility that Ridge Holland could be up against Bobby Lashley.

#4. Charlotte Flair vs. Asuka of Damage CTRL To Face Some Intruption

In the wake of the brutal Women’s WarGames Match at Survivor Series, Charlotte Flair will go to battle against Asuka. Since Kairi Sane made her return to WWE, Asuka has somewhat aligned herself with Damage CTRL. For sure, Sane would be ringside to secure a win for Asuka. So, there is a possibility that we might have a DQ finish.

#5. Kevin Owens Provides An Update On His Injured Hand

Last week on SmackDown, Logan Paul made a return to announce an intense battle for the No. 1 Contender spot to the U.S. Title. The contenders included Santos Escobar, Bobby Lashley, Dragon Lee, Karrion Kross, Austin Theory, Grayson Waller, Kevin Owens, and a Superstar from NXT.

Kevin Owens confronted the Social Media Superstar and delivered a punch to the emerging Austin Theory's face. Despite Theory injuring Kevin Owens' hand outside the ring, the resilient KO fought back and executed a quick victory by rolling up Grayson Waller.

Later in the show, Owens announced that he would undergo an X-ray on his injured hand.
