Two MITB qualifiers announced for next week’s WWE SmackDown
Two Money in the Bank qualifying matches are set for next week’s SmackDown.
Daniel Bryan vs. Cesaro will take place on next Friday’s show and will determine one of the competitors for this year’s men’s Money in the Bank ladder match. Naomi vs. Dana Brooke on SmackDown next week will also determine one of the wrestlers for the women’s Money in the Bank ladder match.
Money in the Bank is set for Sunday, May 10. The Royal Farms Arena in Baltimore, Maryland was originally supposed to host the PPV, but it was officially confirmed yesterday that — due to the coronavirus pandemic — the show isn’t being held there anymore.
Here’s the updated lineup for next Friday’s SmackDown:
- Daniel Bryan vs. Cesaro (men’s Money in the Bank qualifying match)
- Naomi vs. Dana Brooke (women’s Money in the Bank qualifying match)
- The Miz defending the SmackDown Tag Team titles against Big E and Jey Uso in a triple threat match
- Tamina vs. Sasha Banks (if Tamina wins, she’ll become the number one contender to Bayley’s SmackDown Women’s Championship)
- Sonya Deville and Mandy Rose will attempt to clear the air and settle the issues between them
