Less than two weeks away from Money in the Bank pay-per-view event, Smackdown Live is coming up with an eventful night. A couple of matches are no official for the show alongside two more segments. One of them will take place to crown the brand new Smackdown tag team champions after last week’s relinquishing by the Hardy Boyz.

The number one contender for the WWE Championship, Kevin Owens will respond to the attack from the champion to give a boost to the title match storyline. Money in the Bank ladder match will also receive buildup the competitors in it square off in separate matches on the show. It is airing live from the KFC Yum Center in Louisville, Kentucky.
Four title matches announced for Smackdown show
Vince McMahon announced wild card rule for WWE
We went off the air last week from Smackdown where Kofi Kingston was able to put his hands on Kevin Owens. It seemed much-needed after the heinous acts from Big O towards the New Day members. Owens could be obnoxious than ever with a WWE Championship opportunity waiting for him at Money in the Bank. As for tonight, WWE announced that he will be addressing Kofi in a promo segment. But we certainly can expect another brawl to break out.
Vacant now owns Smackdown tag team championships, courtesy of the injury suffered by Jeff Hardy which forced Hardy Boyz to relinquish those belts. WWE.com has now confirmed that Shane McMahon will announce new tag champs on the show,
“With the state of both the blue brand’s tag team division and the titles in question, Shane McMahon will arrive on SmackDown LIVE this Tuesday to crown new SmackDown Tag Team Champions. What will Shane-O-Mac decree? Find out this Tuesday night.”
It will be interesting whether a match takes place to determine the title-holders or McMahon directly crown a tag team with those championships. We pick Rusev-Shinsuke Nakamura or the newly arrived team Revival to pick up those vacated belts.
A huge six-woman tag team match will take place on Smackdown Live where Money in the Bank competitors will involve. Also, the number one contender for the women’s title will also be a part of it. The full lineup is Charlotte Flair, Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville vs. Ember Moon, Bayley and Carmella. The heel team is most likely to pick up the win since WWE would not wish to keep Charlotte Flair on the losing side just days before Money in the Bank.
Two participants from the men’s division Money in the Bank match will also compete in a match to gain momentums. Ali will go one-on-one against Andrade in a fresh match on Smackdown. Both these names have already started taking shots at each other on the social media trying to make it a heated-up match. Andrade is still the favorite to win this contest since he has Zelina Vega by his side to gain an advantage. A couple of wins prior to Money in the Bank could make him the most favorite to win the upcoming ladder match.
