The first brand-exclusive pay-per-view of Season 4 is Judgment Day for SmackDown. Let's breakdown the card.
Judgment Day 2018 Card
Charlotte Flair vs Sasha Banks
After a few losses to start her tenure on SmackDown Live, Sasha Banks is in a rut. But The Boss has not lost confidence in herself, calling out Charlotte Flair for a match. The Queen has not been able to recover from her loss to Nia Jax at the Royal Rumble, and has gladly accepted the challenge. Two of the best meet to open the show, with the winner getting back in title contention.
The KO & Sami Show(c) vs Hardy Boyz- SmackDown Tag Team Championship Match
After defeating the seemingly unstoppable Wyatt Family, Jeff and Matt Hardy followed up with a win over The Usos to become number one contenders. Champions Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn are seemingly not taking this challenge seriously, spending more time coming up with a new tag team name than training, finally settling on The KO & Sami Show.
AJ Styles(c) vs Andrade "Cien" Almas- Intercontinental Championship Match
The newly debuting Andrade "Cien" Almas is off to a hot start on SmackDown Live, picking up wins over Chad Gable and Tye Dillinger to earn this championship match. AJ Styles has shown a new side, shaking Ricochet's hand for a great match at Backlash, and offering more respect to his opponents. However, when Styles offered a handshake to his next opponent, Almas slapped it away, angering the champion.
Bobby Roode vs Daniel Bryan- No Holds Barred
Bobby Roode has quickly ascended to the main event of SmackDown by any means necessary, including a vicious backstage assault on Daniel Bryan. Bryan returned the favor by costing Roode a match against WWE Champion Drew McIntyre, and the fight was on. A No Holds Barred match was booked, with the winner becoming number one contender for the WWE Championship.
Asuka(c) vs Ember Moon- SmackDown Women's Championship Match
No woman looked more unstoppable than Nia Jax, but her momentum seems to be gone after two devastating losses. First, she lost her championship to Asuka, and then two nights later, she lost clean again, this time to the debuting Ember Moon. The Eclipse was enough to topple Nia, but can Ember use it to capture the women's championship?
The Wyatt Family vs ???
Bray Wyatt has been in a foul mood since the Hardy Boyz defeated Luke Harper and Erick Rowan in an open challenge on SmackDown. To prove it was just a fluke loss, he's issued another open challenge for any team on the blue brand to step up and face his monsters.
Drew McIntyre(c) vs Brock Lesnar- WWE Championship Match
We first saw Drew McIntyre square off against Brock Lesnar on SmackDown before WrestleMania, as both men fought to a draw. Since then, McIntyre captured the WWE Championship and has beaten everyone in his path. Now, Lesnar is back for Round 2, delivering an earth-shaking F-5 to McIntyre two weeks ago. The Scottish Psychopath survived Samoa Joe at Backlash, but can he find a way to defeat The Beast?
