Two matches and a talk show segment for the latest inclusion on the WWE Smackdown roster have been scheduled for next week’s episode. The announcements also affirm that a championship will be on the line with a brand new set of champions going up against a fresh pair.
As announced by the WWE, Women’s Tag Team Championships will be on the line where Nia Jax and Candice LeRae will challenge Bianca Belair and Naomi, who replaced Jade Cargill as the other half of the Women’s Tag Team Champion on the latest episode of WWE Smackdown.
On the December 13 episode of WWE Smackdown, Bianca Belair and Naomi approached General Manager Nick Aldis as he instructed Drew McIntyre to wait in his office. Aldis then informed Belair and Naomi that the investigation ongoing to find out Jade Cargill’s attacker several weeks ago had reached a dead end.

The newly-crowned one-half of the WWE Tag Team Champions, Johnny Gargano will go one-on-one with Alex Shelley on next week’s WWE Smackdown. This comes after Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa’s tag title win after a heel-turn on Shelley and Chris Sabin.
