Tag team match announced for WWE SmackDown
Bianca Belair & Charlotte Flair are set to team up on SmackDown tonight.
WWE has announced that tonight’s SmackDown will feature a tag team match with Belair & Charlotte taking on Damage CTRL (IYO SKY & Bayley). The episode is taking place in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
On last week’s SmackDown, Damage CTRL interrupted a match between Charlotte and Asuka. SKY and Bayley attacked both Charlotte and Asuka and caused the match to end in a no contest.
SKY became WWE Women’s Champion by cashing in her Money in the Bank briefcase on Belair at SummerSlam earlier this month. Belair had just become champion by defeating Asuka and Charlotte in a triple threat match.
WWE has also confirmed that Santos Escobar will be joining Rey Mysterio on The Grayson Waller Effect tonight. Last Friday, Mysterio subbed in for Escobar and defeated Austin Theory to become United States Champion. Escobar wasn’t able to compete following an angle where he was attacked by Theory.
Here’s the updated lineup for tonight’s show:
- Edge vs. Sheamus (Edge’s 25th anniversary celebration)
- Bianca Belair & Charlotte Flair vs. Damage CTRL (IYO SKY & Bayley)
- The Grayson Waller Effect with guests Rey Mysterio and Santos Escobar
