What's going on everyone? It's Megan Morant for "WWE Now", getting you set with everything that you need to know for tonight's "Friday Night SmackDown" on the USA network from Bologna, Italy. (dramatic music) Despite a strong challenge from Jade Cargill, Rhea Ripley is still your WWE Women's Champion. Now, Ripley had some backup in the form of the Queen, Charlotte Flair, on her way to a victory over Cargill at Clash in Italy. Now that Ripley has seemingly weathered the storm, what's next for the Eradicator? (dramatic music) The undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes walked into Italy as the champion and walked out still holding the title.
Gunther, on the other hand, was left with more questions than answers. Here's the cover under the leg. And he got it. (bell dinging) Cody Rhodes got it. The Ring General certainly has a claim that he didn't lose to the American Nightmare last Sunday. So what will Gunther's next move be coming outta Clash in Italy? (dramatic music) The Queen of the Ring tournament first round continues tonight on "SmackDown" as Bailey, Raquel Rodriguez, Jacy Jayne, and Kiana James will duke it out in a fatal four-way match.
Iyo Sky was the first to advance out of the opening round with a thrilling win on "Monday Night Raw". So who will join Iyo Sky in the second round of the Queen of the Ring tournament? We're gonna find out tonight. (dramatic music) The path to the King of the Ring crown heats up as four champions collide on "SmackDown". Tonight's matchup features WWE Tag Team champion Damien Priest, United States champion Trick Williams, World Tag Team champion Bron Breakker, and AAA Mega Champion Dominik Mysterio, as they all look to move one step closer
to adding another accolade in their resume. Whoever comes out on top will join Oba Femi in the second round after the Ruler smashed his way to an opening round victory on "Raw". (dramatic music) Danhausen seems to be working on something big. For the past few weeks, he's had a cover over something on a gurney, forbidding anyone to take a look. He is also been causing havoc with his equipment as every week the lights in the arena continue to flicker. For now, it's anyone's guess what Danhausen is up to in his laboratory of madness.
(dramatic music) So there you have it, that's the latest from around WWE. We'll see you guys tonight at 8:00 Eastern, 7:00 Central on the USA network.
