It's the FINAL3 HOUR SmackDown this year and we are one night away from Night of Champions, and Sami Zayn should WALK AWAY as the new WWE Champion.

Cody Rhodes will address BOTH Gunther and Sami Zayn on the final SmackDown before Night of Champions, where all three men will collide in a Triple Threat for the Undisputed WWE Championship. How did we get here? Nick Aldis had to FORCE this match after Sami couldn't keep his nose out of both Cody, and Gunther's business last week.

Trick Williams is BACK and he's going face-to-face with Ricky Saints, who earned his shot at the U.S. Title by beating Carmelo Hayes last week. This is a preview of what's coming at Night of Champions.

Paige is HOME in England and she's stepping into a singles match against Fatal Influence's Jacy Jayne, which is her first singles bout since returning to action. 

And Giulia and Kiana James have some unfinished business after Kiana berated her for losing in the Queen of the Ring Tournament, with a rumor of a debuting Blake Monroe targeting Guilia. 

Plus Rey Fenix puts the AAA Cruiserweight Championship on the line against Nathan Frazer
