WWE SmackDown October 30th Preview: World Title Matches, Danhausen and More!

This Friday is a very special edition of WWE SmackDown, streaming live on USA Network from a packed Charleston Coliseum in Charleston, West Virginia. It will be hosted by Danhausen, who brings his signature chaos to present "Danhausen's Very Nice, Very Evil SmackDown."

World championship gold is on the line as Sami Zayn defends his Undisputed WWE Championship against Trick Williams, while Chelsea Green puts her WWE Women's Championship on the line against the returning Nikki Bella.

Below is the match card, plus featured Superstars alongside my predictions. This page will be updated if/when more is announced.
