After costing Drew McIntyre the World Heavyweight Championship at Clash at the Castle, CM Punk is slated to appear on tonight’s SmackDown live from his native Chicago.
Punk has been out since the Royal Rumble, when he tore his triceps, but he’s repeatedly found ways to terrorize McIntyre during his time away from the ring. The most recent example of such came last Saturday when Punk donned a referee’s shirt and refused to count to three when it appeared McIntyre was about to win the title in Glasgow.
Punk has said that he will provide a health update on tonight’s show.
Also on tap, Cody Rhodes responds to The Bloodline’s attack on him at Clash at the Castle. Rhodes took the beating after retaining his Undisputed WWE Championship in an “I Quit” match against AJ Styles.
Three Money in the Bank qualifying matches will take place. Kevin Owens vs. Grayson Waller vs. Andrade and Randy Orton vs. Tama Tonga vs. Carmelo Hayes will be tonight’s men’s qualifiers, and there will be a women’s qualifier with Bianca Belair vs. Chelsea Green vs. Michin.
Plus, after weeks of bickering, LA Knight is scheduled to confront United States Champion Logan Paul.
