In just a few hours, the Sames Auto Arena in Laredo, Texas, will play host to the latest edition of SmackDown Live.
Following a blockbuster edition of Monday Night RAW, the blue brand will have to deal with the fallout of Brock Lesnar not cashing in his Money in the Bank contract, meaning SmackDown's WWE Champion Kofi Kingston is still a target for the Beast.
As if that wasn't enough, tonight will also see a certain WWE Hall of Famer make his first appearance on the blue brand ever, as the Superstars of SmackDown Live prepare for the third WWE pay per view in Saudi Arabia: Super Showdown.
Here are five things you need to know before tonight's WWE SmackDown Live.
#5: Lars to give an exclusive interview
Lars Sullivan is a strange man.
Joining the WWE main roster recently, Sullivan has been truly dominant in every way, crushing opponent after opponent, recently targetting the Lucha House Party.
Though Sullivan has shown his dominance, his motives behind attacking the trio of Cruiserweights remains unclear.
Tonight, the Freak will give a rare exclusive interview, though what Sullivan has to say remains unclear.
What will Lars say (and do) tonight, just a handful of days away from his three on one handicap match against the Lucha House Party at Super ShowDown?
With Lars chatting, this may be the perfect time for the trio of Kalisto, Lince Dorado and Gran Metalik to strike against Sullivan, after so many weeks of being attacked.
That said though, perhaps the Cruiserweights should bide their time, and let their actions speak louder than words when the Superstars square off in Jeddah.
#4: A special edition of A Moment of Bliss
Though she made her main roster debut on SmackDown Live in 2016, it's clear that Alexa Bliss has fared much better since she made the move to RAW the following year.
On the red brand, Alexa captured the RAW Women's title three times, briefly held authority over the women's division, operated as the host of WrestleMania 35 and now has her own talk-show: A Moment of Bliss.
Tonight though, the petite powerhouse will return to her blue roots, as she brings her show to SmackDown Live, with a special guest: SmackDown Women's Champion Bayley.
What will the Huggable One have to say tonight, bearing in mind that Bliss' first stint as RAW Women's Champion came at the expense of Bayley all those many years ago?
#3: 24/7 Truth and Consequences
The 24/7 Championship has quickly risen to become one of the most entertaining parts of WWE since its debut just two weeks ago.
Much like its predecessor the Hardcore title, the gold must be defended at all times, a lesson slowly being learned by current and three-time champ R-Truth.
The rapping Superstar is clearly exhausted from all of this, and did have an out when he lost the title on a golf course to Jinder Mahal, but instead regained the title moments later, putting the target back on him.
Tonight, Truth will again be expected to defend the title, and there's no shortage of WWE SmackDown Live Superstars who would like to take the gold from him once and for all.
What scheme will Truth have tonight? Another blonde wig perhaps?
#2: Will Ziggler cause Trouble in Paradise?
The rivalry between WWE Champion Kofi Kingston and Dolph Ziggler is reaching a fever pitch as their title clash at WWE Super ShowDown approaches.
Ziggler, who only recently returned to WWE after months away, was last seen assaulting Kingston's New Day brother Xavier Woods, a direct message to the 51st WWE Champion.
A two-time World Heavyweight Champion, it has been six years since the Show-Off last held World title gold, so expect Ziggler to have some tricks up his sleeve tonight to get more in the mind of the Ghanaian Champion.
As if that wasn't bad enough, Kingston's mind is already pre-occupied, as with Brock Lesnar not cashing in Money in the Bank on last night's RAW, the Beast could still target Kingston for a match at any time.
Simply put: are the Champion's days numbered?
#1: Goldberg responds
Last night on WWE Monday Night RAW, The Undertaker sent a truly chilling warning to his Super ShowDown opponent, claiming Goldberg would be the next soul taken by the Deadman.
Now, just three days before the pair are set to face off in Jeddah, the former WCW, World Heavyweight and Universal Champion will come to SmackDown for the first time ever to address the Demon of Death Valley.
The former Universal Champion hasn’t set foot in a WWE ring since the night after he battled Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 33, as fans have been itching to see Goldberg compete once more.
What will the Hall of Famer have to say just three days short of arguably the biggest match of his career, and will the Phenom make an appearance on the Blue brand, which for years was considered his show?
