With many of the WWE Superstars already in Cardiff for tomorrow’s Clash at the Castle event, tonight’s Smackdown was actually taped last week in Detroit.

Tonight’s broadcast is headlined by The Bloodline holding a two-year anniversary celebration of Roman Reigns as champion. The Head of the Table has been Universal champion since August 30, 2020 when he won the title at Payback and then added the WWE title to his collection at WrestleMania this year.

In addition, five matches have been taped, including Karrion Kross vs Drew Gulak, Hit Row vs Maximum Male Models, Happy Corbin with an open challenge, Ludwig Kaiser vs Butch, and The New Day vs The Viking Raiders in a Viking Rules match.
