What can fans expect for the upcoming Friday Night SmackDown episode?
The match fans are looking forward to tonight is a title unification bout. WWE Women's Tag Team Champions Ronda Rousey and Shayna Baszler are set to take on NXT Women's Tag Team Champions Isla Dawn and Alba Fyre. It will be interesting to see if the former MMA fighters will come out on top or if the newcomers will win it all.
Another high-stakes match for tonight's WWE SmackDown is between Shotzi and Bayley. Last week, IYO SKY lost a match against Zelina Vega after Bayley accidentally distracted her fellow Damage CTRL member. While the duo was talking backstage, Shotzi interrupted them and challenged The Role Model.
The stipulation states that if Shotzi wins the match, she will get Bayley's spot for the Women's Money in the Bank match. Interestingly, the Japanese star accepted the challenge on behalf of the former RAW Women's Champion.
Finally, Cameron Grimes and Baron Corbin will have yet another one-on-one match. The former had his debut match on the blue brand against The Lone Wolf a few weeks ago. Grimes then defeated Corbin with ease in just a matter of seconds.
After Baron attacked him backstage, he returned to NXT and challenged Carmelo Hayes for the brand's championship at NXT Gold Rush. However, the former US Champ will have to focus on tonight's WWE SmackDown first.
Aside from the matches mentioned above, fans should expect more actions and segments, especially with the Money in the Bank Premium Live Event nearing.
