Usos vs. Street Profits, Rollins vs. Cesaro added to WWE SmackDown
WWE has added two matches to the card for tonight’s episode of SmackDown.
SmackDown Tag Team Champions The Usos will face off with The Street Profits in a non-title match on tonight’s show. Seth Rollins vs. Cesaro will also take place on SmackDown tonight.
Tonight’s SmackDown will be headlined by Roman Reigns defending his Universal Championship against Finn Balor. Last week, The Street Profits came to Balor’s defense and helped him even the odds in a brawl with Reigns and The Usos. Balor and The Street Profits took out The Usos as Reigns got away.
“Montez Ford & Angelo Dawkins have the opportunity to catapult themselves back into the SmackDown Tag Team Title picture if they can beat The Usos in an intriguing Championship Contenders Match,” WWE.com wrote.
Rollins defeated Cesaro in their two most recent singles matches against each other. Prior to that, Cesaro had defeated Rollins twice earlier this year.
Edge defeated Rollins at SummerSlam two weeks ago. Promos from both Edge and Rollins aired on SmackDown last Friday. Edge said he’s moving on from Rollins and wants to challenge for the Universal Championship.
Rollins seemed to disingenuously congratulate Edge, saying that the loss taught him something about himself. Rollins said Edge won his respect and admiration. Rollins said that — if he wants to fight his way back to the Universal Championship — maybe he needs to be a little more like Edge.
VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, Florida is hosting tonight’s SmackDown.
