And this is going to be the last episode of Smackdown Live before Money in the Bank PPV event. It will also be the last time that WWE presents a televised show before the PPV event.
There’s no doubt the creative team will try to come up with the maximum number of efforts to make this one a memorable affair. It’s their last chance to make one last hype-up for the MITB event.
The Smackdown general manager already hyped up the episode announcing a summit clash. The women superstars will feature in this special segment. There will be two solid matches featuring the prime male competitors of the brand.
Two Mexican superstars will battle it out on the show. The FedEx Forum in Memphis Tennessee will be the host of the show.
Paige announced a summit for the women’s MITB ladder match last week.
This is quite a unique thing to come up with from the authority figure of the show. She did not take the routine-path of letting the four participants compete in one or separate matches. This type of summit will return to WWE programming after a long time.
TOMORROW NIGHT, you’ll see a Women’s #MITB #LadderMatch SUMMIT…PLUS @ShinsukeN battles #USChampion @JEFFHARDYBRAND on #SDLive at 8/7c on @USA_Network! pic.twitter.com/EqlM31EDMv

Charlotte Flair, Becky Lynch, Lana, and Naomi will grace the segment. The Smackdown GM will preside things over here. Things are likely to get out of her hands in heated conversations among these four.
So, a usual chaos will ensue to end this segment.
WWE.com gave a hint of the same, “Just days before the Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match, SmackDown LIVE General Manager Paige will gather Team Blue’s entrants for a summit Tuesday. What will happen when all four are in the same ring? How will Paige handle what is sure to be a high-tension situation? Find out on SmackDown LIVE next Tuesday at 8/7 C on USA Network!”
AJ Styles and Shinsuke Nakamura is likely to come face-to-face for one final time before ending their feud at MITB.
Well, it will be interesting to see which one can end the show with the upper hand. Nakamura will also compete in a one-on-one match against Jeff Hardy on the show.
We expect another such confrontation in the women’s division title picture too.
Here, Asuka will try to seek revenge against Carmella for last week’s sneak attack.
Paige sanctioned a solid match on Smackdown last week. Andrade Cien Almas will compete against a main-roster superstar for the first time.
It is going to be his long-time friend from native land in the form of Sin Cara. Almas delivered an attack from behind to the masked superstar. So, he is coming after the former NXT Champion.
Big Cass blasted Daniel Bryan with some nasty comments in a short segment. Bryan would return on Smackdown to have one last meeting before the MITB bout.
Meanwhile, Shelton Benjamin challenged Bryan in a match on the show which should take place in a one-on-one capacity.
