WWE hits Philadelphia, Pennsylvania for tonight's episode of SmackDown looking to build on a recent run of good form that has seen the blue brand hit the mark in terms of television ratings and the general critical response.

Not much has been announced for the show so thus far. The biggest thing on the lineup is King Nakamura's Intercontinental Title defend against Apollo Crews, continuing their recent rivalry, with Rick Boogs and Commander Azeez's ringside presence all but guaranteeing shenanigans on the outside.

There's also a singles match, as Liv Morgan faces Zelina Vega. Morgan must defeat Vega, who is 0-9 since returning to WWE, in order to get her Extreme Rules 2021 match with Carmella.

WWE have also confirmed the debut of a brand new chat show hosted by Happy Corbin. No guest has been confirmed for 'Happy Talk', though Kevin Owens' recent back-and-forths with the host suggest he'll probably be the one to interrupt and rain on the fool in the hat's parade.

Here's the card at a glance:-
