WWE SmackDown Preview: April 26, 2013
The Undertaker returns to SmackDown after 3 years and will be in action inside the squared circle on this weeks SmackDown. Checkout what to expect from this week’s Friday Night SmackDown:
Dean Ambrose of the Shield takes on the Undertaker in a singles match on SmackDown
The Undertaker vs Dean Ambrose
Dean Ambrose of The Shield makes his singles debut through this match. What a dream debut would it be if he is able to pin the phenom to get the victory! The Shield were able to snatch victory in the six-man tag team match on RAW against the team of the Undertaker, Kane and Daniel Bryan. However, Ambrose has to do it all alone in this singles match against the Undertaker who is fresh off a victory against CM Punk at Wrestlemania. Will he able to create history by beating the Undertaker in his debut?
Wade Barrett vs William Regal
With SmackDown taking place in the UK there is some extra spice in this contest. The Intercontinental Champion Wade Barrett from Preston, England will take on William Regal from Blackpool, England. A good wrestling contest in the offing as the bare-knuckle fighter takes on the British brawler. The crowd reaction to Wade Barrett will be observed keenly. He is the favorite to win this contest against his mentor. But one should not count out William Regal who could spring a surprise in this match against his compatriot.
Alberto Del Rio vs Jack Swagger (No DQ match)
Jack Swagger and Alberto Del Rio will lock horns in a match for the third time this month. Alberto Del Rio has emerged victorious on both occasions at Wrestlemania and on last weeks SmackDown. The upcoming contest on SmackDown will be a no disqualification match which would bring both Zeb Colter and Ricardo Rodriguez into the picture. Both these men are vying to get their hands on Dolph Ziggler’s World Heavyweight Championship at Extreme Rules. It would a priority for both men to emerge victorious in this match on SmackDown.
Sheamus vs Big Show
‘The Celtic Warrior’ Sheamus takes on one of his arch rivals Big Show in a singles match on the show. Sheamus and Randy Orton have had some issues with the Big Show, following their loss to the Shield at Wrestlemania. Now that Sheamus has got a chance with his match, he will be looking forward to venting his anger on the giant during the course of this match.
Randy Orton vs Mark Henry
Fresh off a victory in a gauntlet match on Main Event a couple of days ago, Mark Henry will be eager to get his hands on the ‘Viper’ Randy Orton. Henry played a crucial role in beating Sheamus and Orton in a tag-team match with the Big Show as his partner, last week. Randy Orton needs to learn from last weeks mistakes and try to put up a fight against the worlds strongest man.
