UPDATE: PWInsider reports that tonight’s episode of Smackdown is set to mostly focus on the tribute to the Undertaker and will include the first ever TV airing of the Boneyard Match between Undertaker and AJ Styles.

There are also expected to be appearances from Matt Riddle and Jeff Hardy.

WWE will tape tonight’s episode today at the Performance Center at 12 PM ET.

Original: WWE will present a new episode of Friday Night Smackdown on FOX tonight, although it may be rewritten after the news that several wrestlers tested positive for COVID-19. The scheduled lineup includes:

* A Tribute to the Undertaker
* Sheamus presents a toast to Jeff Hardy
* Braun Strowman reacts to the return of Bray Wyatt
* Intercontinental Championship: AJ Styles (c) vs. Drew Gulak

It should be noted that WWE.com’s preview currently only lists the Undertaker tribute, so changes may have already been made.
