Six-woman tag match added to next week’s WWE SmackDown

Bayley and her next challenger will face off in a six-woman tag match on next week’s episode of SmackDown.

WWE has added SmackDown Women’s Champion Bayley, Mandy Rose & Sonya Deville vs. Nikki Cross, Carmella & Dana Brooke to the lineup for next Friday’s show. Cross won a six-pack challenge last week to become the number one contender to Bayley’s title, though WWE hasn’t announced when Cross will be getting her title shot.

Cross pinned Rose in the six-pack challenge, which also included Deville, Carmella, Brooke, and Lacey Evans. On last night’s SmackDown, Cross defeated Rose in a singles match.

Bayley and Sasha Banks were on commentary for Cross vs. Rose. Cross had a staredown with them after the match.

Next Friday’s SmackDown is taking place the day after Crown Jewel. The KeyBank Center in Buffalo, New York is hosting SmackDown, with Roman Reigns vs. Baron Corbin, The Revival vs. Kofi Kingston & Big E for the SmackDown Tag Team titles, and a Miz TV segment with Bray Wyatt also announced for the show.
