For tonight’s Smackdown, there seems to be only two matches officially announced by WWE. As tomorrow night will be Money In The Bank, WWE has booked the three babyfaces in the match versus the three heels. According to the betting odds from BetUS, the favorite to win the Women’s Money In The Bank match is Naomi with a -300 betting line.
In that case, I wouldn’t expect Naomi to pick up the win tonight. She’s not that kind of heel who is going to dominate and rack up tons of wins, she’s more of a sneaky and coniving heel. I would expect Rhea Ripley or Stephanie Vaquer to pick the win tonight against Roxanne Perez or Giulia.
As for LA Knight vs Aleister Black, look for Knight to pick up a hard fought win to give him momentum into tomorrow’s Money In The Bank where he is the runner up in terms of betting odds.
Cody Rhodes & Jey Uso Square Off Against Logan Paul & John Cena
There will not be any world championships on the line at Money In The Bank. Instead, World Heavyweight Champion Jey Uso will be teaming up with former WWE Champion Cody Rhodes to take on current WWE Champion John Cena and his newest ally, Logan Paul.

Why Logan Paul Is So Hated By People, Explained
Logan Paul might play a heel on WWE TV, but people don’t like him in real life either.
Last week’s segment between the two was pretty typical fare with Cena claiming that Uso and Rhodes were both John Cena wannabes, but Cena didn’t seem to be happy with Paul either as Paul was down to fight Uso and Rhodes then and there. Cena on the other hand, was going to walk away from the staredown. This feud really needs some more personal stakes or barbs being spoken by its competitors as it’s pretty ice cold now.
Every Men’s Money In The Bank Competitor Will Be On Smackdown
While there’s no specific segment being advertised for the male side of the Money In The Bank ladder match tonight, WWE is promoting that all the men’s competitors will be in the building regardless of brand affiliation.
In years past, WWE would have a segment where all the competitors would stand atop ladders in the ring to trash talk one another. I could see something similar happening tonight. The current betting favorite on the men’s side is easily Seth Rollins with a -400 betting line, so paying attention to what he says should be of the most interest to WWE. Sorry Andrade fans.

In 2019, SmackDown made its own big move, going from cable to network TV on FOX. This led to a huge increase in ratings, thanks in part as well to The Bloodline story, but with FOX not getting the ad revenue they hoped for, they let the Friday night show go. On September 13 2024, it went back to the USA Network.
