The gates have opened in The O2 Arena for Friday's episode of "WWE SmackDown."

WWE returns to London, and superstars on the blue brand are fighting for prizes. The WWE United States Championship is on the line, as titleholder LA Knight will look to thwart the challenge of Braun Strowman. Could there be interference from Jacob Fatu? Last week, Fatu lost a No. 1 contender match to Strowman via disqualification after Solo Sikoa and Tama Tonga interfered.

That isn't the only title at stake on "Friday Night SmackDown." The Street Profits will put the WWE Tag Team Championship at stake against Pretty Deadly. This is another match that could have outside interference, given the turmoil within the show's tag team division.

There will also be a contract signing for one of the marquee matches on the "WrestleMania 41" card. Roman Reigns, CM Punk, and Seth Rollins will all meet in the ring, and they are expected to trade verbal shots and potentially physical ones. During the March 24 episode of "WWE Raw," Punk hinted at wanting a guarantee before he signs the contract. This segment could have major implications for "WrestleMania 41."

You can also expect to see WWE Women's Champion Tiffany Stratton, who continued her war of words with Charlotte Flair last week. Before the two meet on "The Grandest Stage of Them All," Stratton and Flair are expected to make appearances.

We'll also see if Damian Priest can finally get a measure of revenge on Drew McIntyre. Ever since McIntyre cost Priest during the men's Elimination Chamber match, "The Scottish Warrior" has ambushed the former Judgment Day member.

"WWE SmackDown" will be airing in its usual time slot in the United States via tape delay. Spoiler results will be updated here beginning at 4 p.m. ET.
