WWE SmackDown Live preview, April 23: Watch online

Here’s the information you need to watch the April 23, 2019 edition of  WWE SmackDown Live online.

Last week, we saw the WWE Superstar Shake-Up do exactly that — shake up the entire face of the company. Two superstars that didn’t go anywhere, however, will battle in a non-title match.

The New Day inducted an “honorary” member last week, as Big E is currently sidelined with a knee injury. Kevin Owens, or “Big O,” has stepped in to share in the madness that is the colorful, pancake-loving duo. He’ll likely join Xavier Woods in the corner of new WWE Champion Kofi Kingston, as he faces Shinsuke Nakamura this week on SmackDown Live. But don’t forget, where Nakamura goes, so goes Rusev and Lana, so Kingston and friends will also have to keep an eye on ringside.

At the end of the broadcast last week, Roman Reigns shocked the WWE Universe when he came out and delivered a thunderous Superman Punch to WWE Chairman Vince McMahon and a spear to Elias. The announcement of Elias was mean to be, in McMahon’s own words, “the biggest acquistion in the history of SmackDown Live.” Reigns promptly declared that he was marking Tuesday night’s as his territory. Will we see a punishment to The Big Dog for his actions last week? Reigns won’t have the support of his former Shield brothers since he joined Team Blue, so he’ll have to face whatever happens this week on his own.

At WrestleMania, Becky Lynch captured both the WWE Raw and SmackDown Women’s Championships when she defeated Charlotte Flair and Ronda Rousey in a triple threat match. It was a historic win, considering it the was first time ever that the women of WWE had chance to main event the biggest show of the year. This week, Lynch and Flair will go face-to-face for the first time since WrestleMania. Has the second-generation Queen of WWE regained any respect she once had for her former friend, or is “Becky Two Belts” having to deal with old problems once again?
