WWE Smackdown Preview And Prediction: When And Where To Watch In USA & India – 20th October 2023
Wrestling enthusiasts around the world are gearing up for another electrifying episode of WWE SmackDown. This global wrestling phenomenon has kept fans on the edge of their seats for years. And now, with October 20th fast approaching, all eyes are on the AT&T Center in San Antonio, Texas, where the action will take place live.
As the momentum builds towards WWE Crown Jewel 2023, the WWE is hard at work setting the storylines. While several matches are already on the card for the grand event, today’s SmackDown promises the potential for more matches to be added. The excitement is palpable, and fans are eagerly awaiting the twists and turns that are sure to come.
One of the most anticipated storylines revolves around Logan Paul’s return to confront Rey Mysterio. Paul, fresh off his boxing match with Dillon Danis last Sunday, threw down the gauntlet. Accepting the challenge, Mysterio took to social media platform X and asserted that he isn’t hard to find. He openly called out Paul to face him on Friday Night SmackDown. The WWE has officially confirmed that fans will see Logan Paul square off against Mysterio, face to face, with the United States Championship on the line.
Switching gears to the Women’s division, there’s another storm brewing. Charlotte Flair, thanks to the New General Manager Nick Aldis, received an immediate championship shot. She will be clashing with IYO SKY for the WWE Women’s Championship. These two powerhouses have previously faced off, and this bout promises to be a rematch to remember. Speculations are running wild, with many believing that IYO SKY will retain her title, but not without some outside assistance. Rumors hint at Damage CTRL playing a pivotal role in the outcome of this match.
On the men’s side, Bobby Lashley and Carlito’s match is one that has been growing in intensity. Their rivalry, which includes the likes of the Street Profits, has been the talk of the town. The Six-Man Tag Team Match at Fastlane was a significant turning point. It was during this match that Carlito made a surprising return, teaming up with LWO. Together, they clinched a win over Lashley and the Street Profits. Last week’s SmackDown saw this animosity escalate when Carlito boldly challenged Lashley. The challenge didn’t go unanswered, with Lashley, Ford, and Dawkins attacking Carlito in retaliation. This week, the stage is set for a one-on-one showdown between Carlito and Lashley. As per speculations, this duel might not see a clear winner. Predictions suggest a potential disqualification, setting the stage for a rematch at Crown Jewel.
In tandem with the Carlito-Lashley face-off, Santos Escobar will go head-to-head with Montez Ford. This match is intriguing, as it adds another layer to the ongoing Lashley-Carlito feud. Given that Carlito has chosen to face off against Lashley, Escobar, in turn, will battle Ford. The outcome of this match is anyone’s guess. However, some whispers in the wrestling community hint at Ford securing a victory. And he might just have some help. Lashley or Dawkins could very well play a role in Ford’s potential win, making this not just a match, but a statement in the ongoing war between these factions.
Viewers from the USA can watch the live show on Peacock TV, while fans in Europe can watch the event on TNT TV. At last fans in India can watch the event on Sony Liv, Sony Sports 1 & Sony Sports 3.
In conclusion, the October 20, 2023 episode of SmackDown at the AT&T Center in San Antonio promises to be a roller-coaster of emotions and actions. With storylines developing at a rapid pace, leading up to WWE Crown Jewel 2023, fans both in the USA and India can expect an evening filled with suspense, thrill, and unparalleled entertainment. The world waits with bated breath to see how these narratives unfold, and which superstars will rise to the occasion.
