WWE Tag Team title match set for next week’s SmackDown
A match for the WWE Tag Team titles is set for next week’s SmackDown in Montreal.
The Wyatt Sicks and The MFTs will meet once more for the WWE Tag Team titles. A video aired on Friday with Solo Sikoa saying if the Wyatts wanted their lantern back, they would have to agree to a WWE Tag Team title match. After Sikoa failed to defeat Damian Priest later in the show, Uncle Howdy attempted to take the lantern back but was attacked by Talla Tonga, keeping control of the lantern with the MFTs.
Meanwhile, a number one contender’s match will take place for the WWE Women’s Tag Team titles. Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss will take on Giulia & Kiana James and Nia Jax & Lash Legend. Whoever wins will earn a future title match against current champions Rhea Ripley and IYO SKY.
Damian Priest will face Trick Williams one day before Saturday Night’s Main Event, where they are both in a number one contender’s match for the WWE Championship. The two traded words backstage following their victories on SmackDown, with Priest saying he’ll be whooping that Trick.
Johnny Gargano and Nathan Frazer will meet after Gargano jumped Frazer backstage on last week’s SmackDown. This week’s show had Frazer jumping Gargano as Axiom distracted him.
