WWE SmackDown card: Two new matches made

The card for tonight’s WWE SmackDown at TD Garden in Boston has a couple of new additions.

On Thursday night, WWE posted a video with SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis announcing that Alexa Bliss vs. Piper Niven will take place on the show. Aldis also revealed that Fraxiom will be Carmelo Hayes & The Miz’s opponents for a tag team match.

Bliss and Charlotte Flair became the new WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions at SummerSlam. They had a celebration last week, but it was interrupted by Chelsea Green and her Secret Hervice (Alba Fyre & Niven), which led to a singles match where Charlotte defeated Green.

Also on last week’s SmackDown, there was a segment where Hayes wanted to request a singles title shot — but Miz told Hayes that he had already gone to Aldis to get a tag match for their team. It was then revealed that Miz had actually not spoken to Aldis yet.

Hayes tweeted to Miz last night: “No funny sht tomorrow @mikethemiz”

Here is everything that has been announced for tonight:
