Smackdown Live continued to come up with better contents following Summerslam. In fact, both the weekly shows including Raw was great leading to a booster in terms of TV ratings. We had two solid episodes on August 20th and 21st at the Barclays Center. But things will certainly heat up even more for Hell in a Cell in the next few weeks.
We can now confirm that Smackdown will host a championship match on next week’s episode. It will take place over the women’s title where Carmella will challenge Charlotte Flair. Back at Summerslam, the women’s championship changed hands. Charlotte Flair pinned Carmella with a Natural Selection to become a five-time women’s champion.

Carmella did have a contractual rematch in her contract. So she asked the Smackdown general manager about it on a backstage segment. Interestingly, R-Truth showed up talking absolutely non-sense. For weeks now, he’s been thinking of defeating Carmella to compete in a women’s championship match!
Thankfully, Paige has made him believe that a man can’t perform in a women’s division matchup. So he has to stay out of the equation all the way. But Carmella will get her rematch against Charlotte Flair on the August 28th episode. It will come live from the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
Speaking of this Smackdown women’s championship match, Carmella can’t have a better time to have it. Becky Lynch is after Charlotte Flair since Summerslam in a mood that we have never seen before. She will definitely try to interfere in this match costing Flair the matchup. The Princess of Staten Island can have the advantage of this rivalry by winning back the title.

We will have to wait till next week to see whether a title change happens on Smackdown. Meanwhile, we expect to have a new contender for the tag team championships. The New Day won back the tag team championships after a long time on the show. They will have a new challenger on their path as indicated on TV.
The Bar is in no mood to back down from the title picture. So they demanded a championship opportunity which they will get at the next episode of Smackdown Live. In order to get the shot, they have to defeat Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson. We will see which one of the former tag champs can earn the opportunity.
