Ahead of tonight’s episode of SmackDown, WWE has announced two matches for this week’s outing for its blue brand – including a title match!

Intercontinental Champion Big E will be in action, defending his prize in a triple threat bout against Sami Zayn and Apollo Crews. Elsewhere, Dominik Mysterio will be taking on King Corbin.

Also taking place on tonight’s SmackDown will be appearances from Royal Rumble winners Edge and Bianca Belair. Previous reports suggest that Edge will be facing Roman Reigns for the Universal Championship at WrestleMania 37, while Belair will square off with SmackDown Women’s Champion Sasha Banks – although neither of those bouts have been confirmed at this stage.

The formal WWE preview for this week’s Smackers reads:

“Will Edge now come face-to-face with Universal Champion Roman Reigns? The Big Dog has insisted time and time again that he is the ultimate champion in WWE. Considering the tremendous legacy that The Ultimate Opportunist has built on SmackDown, it stands to reason that he may just want Reigns to prove that statement and attempt to unseat The Head of the Table.”
