Updated WWE SmackDown lineup: Two new matches added
Two new match announcements have been made for this week’s WWE SmackDown in Dublin.
As part of WWE’s pre-Clash in Paris European tour, SmackDown will be held in Ireland for the first time ever this Friday night. The show is taking place from 3Arena and will be broadcast live on Netflix outside of the United States prior to airing later that night on USA Network.
It was announced today that Charlotte Flair vs. Piper Niven has been added to the SmackDown card, along with a tag team match between The Street Profits and The MFTs.
Charlotte & Alexa Bliss became the new WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions at SummerSlam earlier this month and have begun a feud with Chelsea Green & The Secret Hervice (Piper Niven & Alba Fyre) ahead of a likely title defense. Green, Niven & Fyre laid out Charlotte & Bliss last week after Bliss defeated Niven in a singles match.
WWE has not yet announced which two MFTs will be competing in the tag bout. United States Champion Solo Sikoa leads the group that consists of Tonga Loa, Talla Tonga & JC Mateo.
Here is the updated SmackDown lineup for tomorrow:
WWE SmackDown (Friday, August 22) —
- John Cena appears
- R-Truth vs. Aleister Black
- Charlotte Flair vs. Piper Niven
