The updated WWE SmackDown lineup for tonight includes appearances by champions Cody Rhodes and Jade Cargill.

Rhodes and Cargill were both victorious at Saturday Night’s Main Event last weekend, with Rhodes retaining his WWE title over Drew McIntyre and Cargill defeating Tiffany Stratton to become the new WWE Women’s Champion. We’ll see if new challengers emerge tonight.
