WWE SmackDown goes live this Friday, August 22nd, at 8ET on the USA Network—broadcasting straight from Dublin, Ireland!

This isn’t just any SmackDown—it’s a monumental night the legendary John Cena will appear as part of his retirement tour.

As of now, four matches have been officially announced, including two major tag team bouts. It’s always great to see the tag division get the spotlight it deserves—and this week, they’re ready to deliver.

Let’s take a look at the card below

Charlotte Flair vs Piper Niven

Motor City Machine Guns vs Melo Don’t Miz

The Street Profits vs The MFTs
