The final WWE SmackDown before Clash at the Castle is loaded.
WWE announced that SmackDown on Friday, September 2, 2022, airing less than 24 hours before Clash at the Castle, will feature several debuts, a Viking Rules Match, and Roman Reigns celebrating his 2 year anniversary as WWE Universal Champion.
One of those debuts will feature Karrion Kross’ SmackDown debut. He was previously on Monday Night Raw before being released in November 2021. Now, since returning, he has been exclusive to SmackDown.
The other debut will feature Maximum Male Models in tag team action for the first time against Hit Row. Hit Row, much like Karrion, were released in November of 2021 and recently returned.
The Viking Match will feature another match between the new and vicious Viking Raiders against Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods of The New Day.
Also, next week will feature Butch, the former Pete Dunne, against Ludwig Kaiser. Lastly, Ronda Rousey will face her final judgment next week.
