Smackdown: WWE Announces Steel Cage Match & 2 Title Matches

This Friday Night, WWE will bring a special edition of Smackdown on the occasion of Christmas. Since this is a Holiday, WWE stars will be given the night off and the show will be pre-taped from the ThunderDome. But that certainly doesn’t mean that WWE programming will be less entertaining. A huge main event match for the show has been confirmed featuring the Head of the Table.

A big Steel Cage match has been announced for the Christmas Day edition of SmackDown on FOX. WWE has confirmed that the Universal Champion Roman Reigns will defend his title against Kevin Owens inside a Steel Cage this Friday night. This match happens after Reigns retained his title over Owens in a brutal TLC match at this Sunday’s WWE TLC pay-per-view. The match featured constant interference from Jey Uso. So a steel cage will stop him from interfering.

“At WWE TLC, Universal Champion Roman Reigns employed the help of his cousin Jey Uso to add to his overall advantage against the ultra-resilient Kevin Owens and ultimately secured the victory in an absolutely brutal Tables, Ladders & Chair Match.

But there will be no one and nothing to help either Superstar when they are locked inside the unforgiving steel on the blue brand. KO challenges The Big Dog a Universal Championship Rematch inside a Steel Cage, this Friday at 8/7 C on SmackDown,” says a WWE.com announcement.

WWE also announced during last night’s RAW that RAW Women’s Champion Asuka and Charlotte Flair will defend their WWE Women’s Tag Team Titles against opponents to be announced on Smackdown. This will be the first title defense for the new champions, coming out of their title win over Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler at WWE TLC. Flair and Asuka faced Peyton Royce and Lacey Evans in a non-title match on Raw to secure an easy win.

It was already confirmed at WWE TLC that the WWE Intercontinental Champion Sami Zayn will defend his title against Big E on this week’s Christmas Day edition of SmackDown. E is in the middle of a rivalry with the IC title-holder who has also pinned the champion during the TLC kick-off show. So, it was only a matter of time for him to get a title opportunity.

The updated card for the December 25 episode of Smackdown, stands as follows,

* Charlotte Flair and RAW Women’s Champion Asuka will defend their WWE Women’s Tag Team Titles against opponents to be announced

* WWE Intercontinental Champion Sami Zayn defends against Big E

* WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns defends against Kevin Owens in a Steel Cage match
