A special attraction for this week’s Smackdown Live would be The Miz TV. None other than Rey Mysterio would be a guest on it. Bitter rivals i.e. Rusev and Aiden English will finally square off in a singles match. Also, we will see what AJ Styles and Daniel Bryan have to say after coming short, as a team. Smackdown comes live tonight from the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey.

Rey Mysterio made an emphatic return on the brand that he helped to build over the years. He went straight to compete in the World Cup Tournament at the Crown Jewel PPV event. Pinning the United States Champion might have also earned him a shot at the mid-card title present on Smackdown. But first, we would hear from Rey Mysterio on Miz TV. This is the first time we would listen to his legendary words on live TV since return.

Check out the official announcement of the segment from WWE.com,

“Rey Mysterio made his return to WWE in grand fashion at SmackDown 1000, defeating Shinsuke Nakamura to earn a spot in the WWE World Cup at WWE Crown Jewel. This Tuesday, The Master of the 619 will come face-to-face with one of his fellow competitors when he appears on “Miz TV. What does The A-Lister have in store for The Biggest Little Man?

One of the main events of Smackdown Live will take place between Rusev and Aiden English. These two have been in a rivalry for the past few weeks and there’s only one way to settle it out i.e. inside the ring. The match is now official to take place on tonight’s show. WWE is likely to go for a multi-match affair in this rivalry and hence Aiden English should pick up the first win via any sort of dirty tricks.

Perhaps the biggest attraction of Evolution PPV event is the Smackdown women’s title match between Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch. The feud has been intense between these two prime names of the blue brand. They have got into a backstage brawl in the WWE Performance Center, this past weekend. Tonight, we would see one final confrontation between them before they go to a war at Evolution. Plus, there might be fallouts from the brawl they had. Naomi will also battle Mandy Rose for the first time on the show.

AJ Styles and Daniel Bryan will also have something to get out of their chests to create a rift. This is mandatory to heat up their WWE Championship match at Crown Jewel. They are getting an opportunity to sort out their differences in a rematch against The Usos. Last week, the Samoan twins defeated the dream team on Smackdown 1000.

Finally, Big Show should address the WWE Universe revealing the reason behind his betrayal to The New Day. Current speculations suggest that he will form a new faction with The Bar to dominate Smackdown roster in months to come.
