Smackdown Live delivered an exciting episode, last week. The quality of products from the blue brand is getting better with each week raising the hopes for the fans.
Internet praised the way Paige and her band members are gearing up for the biggest event of the summer. We hope the tradition will remain the same on tonight too.
Multiple fresh rivalries have started from last week onwards which will keep heating up on Smackdown, this week.
The women’s champion is targeting her challenger for a redemption. Plus, the tag team tournament will roll through to determine the new contender for the Summerslam PPV event. All of these will be in-store on the show which comes live tonight from the Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida.

WWE Universe is more than happy to see Samoa Joe in the WWE Championship picture. He is going up against a dream opponent in the form of AJ Styles.
Joe is a ‘bad man’ as per the fans and commentators which means Styles’ championship was never in more jeopardy before this. Last week, he put the champion down with coquina Clutch. The champion will look forward to firing back when Smackdown airs, this week.
Becky Lynch is back on the Smackdown women’s championship picture after a wait of two long years. It is another good thing for the fans aka the storyline perspective. But Carmella is fuming from the loss, last week. Becky also handed her a fat-lip through a punch during the match. So, WWE.com hinted the title-holder is coming for redemption,
“Keen-eyed members of the WWE Universe might have noticed the injury during the broadcast, but Carmella — who takes glamorous social media snapshots on the regular — broke from tradition to share a photo of Becky’s handiwork on her Instagram Story. Will Carmella get payback against Lynch, or was this simply a sign of things to come en route to SummerSlam?”
Meanwhile, WWE.com made two huge announcements around Smackdown Live. Jeff Hardy is coming back on the show, tonight. He will confront his attacker, Randy Orton to have an explanation. Furthermore, Lana will go one-on-one against Zelina Vega. The Gm sanctioned this match after these two had a brawl on last week.
Rusev, Aiden English, and Andrade Almas can’t be present at the ringside during this match.
The rivalry between Daniel Bryan and The Miz will heat up on Smackdown Live, as Summerslam approaches. Till date, Miz had the upper-hand playing mind-games with Bryan. It will be interesting to see whether Bryan can fire back especially considering Maryse is back by Miz’s side. Also, the Randy Orton will look forward to getting a United States Championship shot against Nakamura.
Smackdown tag team tournament will continue on the night. Tonight we will have the second round which will present to us a solid matchup. The Usos will go up against The Bar for the final place available in the finale. The New Day had already captured the first slot which means the second team should be a heel. So, The Bar is favourite to win from this point of view.
