WWE News: Becky Lynch back in action; Styles vs. Ambrose; Hammond, IN, results
The WWE is promoting three items for SmackDown on Tuesday in Green Bay.
The main event is a non-title match with WWE Champion A.J. Styles vs. Dean Ambrose. If Ambrose wins the match he becomes the number one contender for Styles’ championship, and one would think he has to win since Styles vs. Ambrose is going to be the featured title match on upcoming SmackDown house shows as well as the next individual branded PPV.
There will also be a Kane vs. Bray Wyatt no DQ match.
SmackDown Women’s Champion Becky Lynch, who starts back Saturday night in Sioux City, IA, a few weeks earlier than expected after her undisclosed health issue, has been officially announced as returning for Tuesday’s SmackDown.
