Official SmackDown Live Preview – April 24, 2018

One more before the big trip. This week’s episodes of SmackDown Live and Monday Night Raw are in a weird place as they’re both the go home shows for the Greatest Royal Rumble as well as one of the last two shows before the upcoming Backlash 2018. Therefore, there’s going to be a lot going on with this week’s show, including a lot of stuff which has already been set up in advance. A big story was announced this week on Monday Night Raw and now we have the rest of the announced stories.

WWE.com has released its official preview for this week’s SmackDown Live. The big story will be Daniel Bryan appearing on MizTV to help continue their story, the most recent chapter of which started last week when Bryan specifically requested for Miz to be brought to SmackDown in the Superstar Shakeup. Last week Big Cass debuted and kicked Bryan in the head to end the show. There is no word on if Miz and Big Cass have any form of alliance. Here are the featured stories in this week’s preview.

Opinion: Things are going to be in a weird place for WWE over the next few days as they’re getting ready to go over to Saudi Arabia for the Greatest Royal Rumble but then they have to get ready for Backlash. At the same time though, Miz vs. Daniel Bryan sounds like a dream match in the making, if nothing else for how long they’ve been building things up for. The rest of the show looks good as well and I’m curious to see where some of these stories are going. That’s a good feeling, especially with two big show coming up in less than two weeks.
