WWE Smackdown had a wild night from the mecca of professional wrestling, this week from the Madison Square Garden arena in New York City. Next week, the show will be heading to Toronto to commence an exciting weekend for wrestling fans featuring three back-to-back shows.

The coming episode of WWE Smackdown will serve as the go-home show for the 2024 Money in the Bank premium live event and it’s coming up with a title match on the card where A-Town Down Under’s Grayson Waller and Austin Theory will defend the WWE Tag Team Championships against DIY’s Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa.

For weeks now, these two teams have been involved in a feud having physical confrontations on several occasions. Gargano won a singles contest against Theory while Ciampa lost against Waller in the past. It was back at Wrestlemania 40 that Waller and Theory captured the tag team titles in a ladder match which was then contested for dual title belts.
