**********
A tag team match has been added to the WWE SmackDown lineup for tonight.
Bianca Belair & Naomi will team up against Nia Jax & Candice LeRae on tonight’s show from San Diego, California. Though Belair & Naomi are the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions, this will be a non-title match.
One week after Tiffany Stratton betrayed Jax and cashed in to become the new WWE Women’s Champion, there was a number one contender’s match on SmackDown last Friday to determine Stratton’s first challenger. Jax, Belair, and Naomi took part in the match but lost out to Bayley, who will get her title shot against Stratton tonight.
LeRae is aligned with Jax and interfered in last week’s match trying to help her win.
Here is everything that has been announced for SmackDown tonight:
- WWE Women’s Champion Tiffany Stratton defends against Bayley
- Solo Sikoa returns
- Motor City Machine Guns (Alex Shelley & Chris Sabin) vs. Los Garza (Angel & Berto)
- Non-title match: Bianca Belair & Naomi vs. Nia Jax & Candice LeRae
- Carmelo Hayes vs. Jimmy Uso
