ALBANY, N.Y. – Wrestling fans are buzzing with excitement as WWE Smackdown is set to air live today, November 14, from MVP Arena in Albany, New York. This episode brings the promise of thrilling matchups, including a potential return of wrestling legends.

Tonight’s episode will feature two standout matches from John Cena’s Last Time is Now Tournament, highlighted by the long-awaited reveal of LA Knight’s mystery opponent. The card includes:
– LA Knight vs. mystery opponent (Last Time is Now Tournament)
– Jey Uso vs. The Miz (Last Time is Now Tournament)

Speculation is rife regarding the identity of LA Knight’s mystery competitor, with names like WWE legends Edge and Chris Jericho being heavily discussed among fans. If either were to make a surprise return, it would mark one of the most monumental moments in WWE history, especially considering Jericho’s last appearance was in 2018 at the Greatest Royal Rumble.
