WWE SmackDown! Live preview, February 26: Watch online

Here’s all the information you need for the February 18, 2019 edition of WWE SmackDown Live.

WWE SmackDown Live rolls into Charlotte, North Carolina this week, and there is a lot of action to get to, so let’s get into what we can expect to see this week.

Last week on Monday Night Raw, NXT saw four of their top stars called up to the main roster. Ricochet, Aleister Black, Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa all saw action last week on both Raw and SmackDown Live. This week, they continue to face new challenges. Black and Ricochet will team up in an attempt to take down the duo of Rusev and Shinsuke Nakamura. Can the NXT arrivals continue their newfound success?

Speaking of Gargano, he’ll see singles action against Cesaro. The Swiss Superman  has years of experience with Gargano, but the kid we call “Johnny Wrestling” is no rookie to take lightly. You can bet that Sheamus and Ciampa will be their respective corners for this match, so expect that anything will happen when these two square off in the ring.

Also this week, we will see the contract signing for the WWE Championship match at Fastlane, as Daniel Bryan and Kofi Kingston will put their names on the dotted line to make it official. Kingston has more than earned this opportunity, and could throw a New Day-sized wrench in Bryan’s plans for WrestleMania. The numbers game will definitely be in play, as Kingston will of course have his pancake-loving brethren at his side. However Bryan will have the recently-returned Rowan at his disposal and that’s always cause for concern.

SmackDown Live has been on fire lately, with the NXT call-ups, the drama with Becky Lynch and Charlotte and everything else leading up to WrestleMania. The next couple of weeks leading up to Fastlane will be worth watching.
