Due to coronavirus positive tests, it appears that previously advertised match and segments have been scrapped from tonight’s SmackDown.
Pwinsider.com reports that half of the show will involve The Undertaker including his Boneyard Match.
The SmackDown preview article on WWE.com that previously listed AJ Styles defending his WWE Intercontinental Title against Drew Gulak, Sheamus toasting Jeff Hardy, and Braun Strowman addressing Bray Wyatt have been removed.
Here’s WWE’s preview:
With the WWE Universe still buzzing over the final chapter of WWE Network’s groundbreaking documentary Undertaker: The Last Ride, SmackDown will feature a special “Tribute To The Undertaker” this Friday night.
As part of the special recognition, the astonishing Boneyard Match between The Deadman and AJ Styles will air on television for the first time. As Superstars, legends, celebrities and fans have expressed their support for the sports-entertainment icon, the blue brand now gets to share the same message: Thank you, Taker.
Join SmackDown in honoring The Undertaker and much more in another action-packed Friday night on FOX at 8/7 C.T.
