This week's Friday Night Smackdown aired from two different locations. The show primarily aired from Cleveland while two matches took place at Rolling Loud Festival in Miami and also WWE made a special announcement at that event.

At Rolling Loud Festival, Angelo Dawkins defeated Chad Gable in first match and Binaca Belair successfully defended her Smackdown Women's Championship against Carmella in second match. After her match, Binaca Belair told to crowd that there is a special announcement to make and introduced basketball player, Trae Young.
