#1 Lio Rush Open Challenge (205 Live)

Lio Rush will look to continue his undefeated streak on 205 Live

Since joining the 205 Live roster earlier this year, Lio Rush has not been defeated. He has defeated multiple local competitors, former Cruiserweight Champion Akira Tozawa twice, and recently Noam Dar.

He will look to continue that when he hosts an open challenge that many people from Ariya Daivari to Noam Dar can accept.

#2 Bayley and Finn Balor vs Braun Strowman and Ember Moon (Mixed Match Challenge)

One of these undefeated teams will be defeated

Braun Strowman and Ember Moon (Team Monster Eclipse) defeated Kevin Owens & Natalya (Team Pawz) a few weeks ago to gain their first victory. Bayley & Finn Balor (Team B'N'B) defeated Jinder Mahal & Alicia Fox (Team Mahalicia) to gain their first victory.

These two teams will face each other to see which undefeated team will gain their first loss.

#3 AJ Styles and Charlotte Flair vs Carmella and R-Truth (Mixed Match Challenge)

Carmella and R-Truth will hope to move on from their first loss

WWE Champion AJ Styles and Charlotte Flair (Fenomenal Flairs) defeated Jimmy Uso and Naomi (Team Day One Glow) to get their first victory a few weeks ago.

Carmella and R-Truth (Fabulous Truth) were defeated by the Miz and Asuka (Aweska) a couple of weeks ago. Carmella and R-Truth must get a victory this Tuesday if they don't want to end up in the same situation as Team Mahalicia.

#4 Keith Lee vs Kona Reeves (NXT)

Keith Lee will look to continue his dominance on NXT

Keith Lee and Kona Reeves had an altercation a couple of weeks ago on NXT. Keith Lee has been dominant since arriving on NXT but will face his toughest challenge since arriving on NXT earlier this year in June in Kona Reeves.

#5 NXT North American Championship: Ricochet (c) vs Adam Cole vs Pete Dunne (NXT)

Ricochet will defend his title on NXT television for the 2nd time this week

Ricochet's match with Pete Dunne a couple of weeks ago was interrupted by the Undisputed Era. Adam Cole claimed that he did this because he wanted his championship rematch.

William Regal then made this triple threat match official that will certainly give a hint as to what will happen at NXT Takeover: War Games 2.

#6 World Cup Qualifying Match: Randy Orton vs The Big Show (SmackDown Live)

One of these superstars will move on to Crown Jewel

The Big Show will make his long-awaited WWE return this Tuesday. He will face Randy Orton who has recently undergone a major change in character.

Randy Orton and Big Show have faced off several times before. In fact, Big Show unsuccessfully challenged Randy Orton for the WWE Championship at Survivor Series 2013. The winner of this match will qualify for the WWE World Cup tournament at Crown Jewel.

#7 World Cup Qualifying Match: Jeff Hardy vs Samoa Joe (SmackDown Live)

Jeff Hardy will return to SmackDown Live as well

Jeff Hardy has not been seen on SmackDown Live since being defeated by Randy Orton at Hell in a Cell. He will return when he faces Samoa Joe for the first time in WWE. This is certainly a dream match.

Samoa Joe will look to regain some momentum after losing to AJ Styles at the Super Showdown. The winner of this match will be a part of the WWE World Cup in Crown Jewel.

#8 Smackdown Women's Championship: Becky Lynch (c) vs Charlotte Flair (if Becky Lynch gets disqualified she loses the title)

Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair's rivalry will continue.

Becky Lynch got herself disqualified in her title defense against Charlotte Flair at Super Showdown by hitting Charlotte Flair with the title. Charlotte Flair will get another opportunity a few weeks before Evolution.

If Becky Lynch gets disqualified, she will lose the title. This is very interesting as we can possibly see Becky Lynch lose the title without being pinned or submitted.
