Friday Night SmackDown is the last weekly show before Crown Jewel on Saturday, Nov. 7. WWE's how-to-watch page lists SmackDown on USA Network Fridays at 8/7 C. Pro wrestling is scripted entertainment, so this is a preview of what's booked, not a prediction to bet on.
Updated Friday evening, Nov. 6: WWE.com's episode page is live with four announced matches. Midday we only had Fightful's No Holds Barred main event plus PWInsider's non-spoiler list. That gap is closed.
Official card (WWE.com + Fightful)
WWE.com's Nov. 6 SmackDown page and Fightful's Friday afternoon update (Jeremy Lambert, 1:10 p.m.) both list the same four matches:
- No Holds Barred: CM Punk vs. Kevin Owens
- WWE Women's Tag Team Championship: B-Fab & Michin (c) vs. Fatal Influence (Fallon Henley & Lainey Reid)
- Damian Priest vs. Nathan Frazer
- Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Tama Tonga
We are not inventing any fifth match. Cards can still change before air.
Punk vs. Owens
WWE.com frames the No Holds Barred bout around months of heat and Owens costing Punk in Wednesday's NXT Championship match against Grayson Waller, per WWE's Nov. 4 NXT highlights. The No Holds Barred stipulation was added on the Oct. 30 SmackDown, per Fightful.
Women's Tag titles
WWE.com's Women's Tag preview says Michin and B-Fab defend against former champions Fallon Henley and Lainey Reid of Fatal Influence. Fightful prints the same bout with the titles on the line.
Priest vs. Frazer
WWE.com's episode page says Nathan Frazer is out for payback after Damian Priest assaulted former partner R-Truth, with Fraxiom involved in the aftermath. Fightful lists Priest vs. Frazer without a title.
Nakamura vs. Tonga
WWE.com's Nakamura–Tonga preview ties the singles match to the Bakusai vs. MFT rivalry and Kyoki stealing the Tongan Staff. Fightful lists the same singles bout.
How to watch / next up
SmackDown airs tonight at 8 ET / 7 CT on USA Network. Saturday is Crown Jewel in Riyadh at noon ET on the ESPN app (U.S., ESPN Unlimited) and Netflix internationally, per WWE's Crown Jewel page. See our Crown Jewel card preview for that card's sourced matches.
