WWE Smackdown comes to you live this week from Lexington, Kentucky at the Rupp Arena. With their Night Of Champions PLE being just two weeks away, the company has to move quickly tonight with their King & Queen Of The Ring Tournaments and also build up their all women's WWE Evolution PLE which is a month away. Here's what has been announced so far:

Which King Of The Ring Match Is Happening Tonight?

As of writing this preview, WWE has yet to announce any specific matches for tonight's show. While they have said that there will be first round matches for the Queen and King Of The Ring tournaments, that doesn't narrow it down to a specific match for either side. Here's the potential match-ups for the men:

Randy Orton Vs. LA Knight Vs. Aleister Black Vs. Carmelo Hayes
Cody Rhodes Vs. Damian Priest Vs. Andrade Vs. Shinsuke Nakamura

If I had to guess, I would think the second crop of wrestlers would be wrestling on tonight's show. Cody Rhodes is in Kentucky today where Smackdown is being held for an autograph signing to promote Wheatly American Vodka while he also recorded an episode of his podcast with Damian Priest. But I will update the story when we see confirmation.

Which Queen Of The Ring Match Is Happening Tonight?

Just as with the King Of The Ring side, we don't know which first-round Queen Of The Ring match is happening tonight. Here's the potential match-ups for the women:

Charlotte Flair Vs. Alexa Bliss Vs. Chelsea Green Vs. Candice LeRae
Jade Cargill Vs. Michin Vs. Piper Niven Vs. Nia Jax

As with the men's tournament, WWE hasn't confirmed which fatal four way is happening tonight. We will update the story when it's known.

Who Is Appearing On Smackdown Tonight?

WWE

Smackdown General Manager Nick Aldis confirmed on X that John Cena will be in the building on Smackdown to react to what transpired on Monday Night Raw with both CM Punk and R-Truth... or should we be saying Ron Killings now?
Aldis also confirmed that Jacob Fatu's betrayal of Solo Sikoa at Money In The Bank will see some fallout tonight. With rumors floating that Hikuleo will finally make his debut in WWE tonight, expect Solo Sikoa to have some new backup to help protect him from The Samoan Werewolf.
At Money In The Bank, Smackdown's Naomi won the briefcase that guarantees her a world championship opportunity at any time. Tiffany Stratton is likely going to watch her back at all times, but Naomi always has to worry about her rival Jade Cargill as well.
