WWE SmackDown Card and Preview
Nia Jax has spent the last few weeks working back into the WWE Women’s Championship picture. And she has some added motivation to do so as her former friend Tiffany Stratton is still the champ. Stratton took the title off of Jax by cashing in her Money in the Bank contract. It was a very high-profile betrayal that Jax has not forgotten. Now they will clash again for the title, this time in a Last Woman Standing match. Fans can expect a brutal affair in which only one woman will be standing tall with the title held high.
The Wyatt Sicks have been having a ball terrorizing the tag team division since their return. They’ve had every team on the roster looking over their shoulder, hoping they won’t show up. This includes the reigning WWE Tag Team Champions, The Street Profits. They’ve enjoyed a fruitful title reign these past few months, but this is a challenge unlike any they’ve seen before. This Thursday, The Profits will defend those titles against Joe Gacy and Dexter Lumis. Can the Profits overcome the supernatural force of the Wyatts?
Giulia is a talent that fans have high expectations for. The Japanese superstar made an immediate impact in NXT and has looked great since debuting on the main roster. It feels like it’s only a matter of time before she elevates her game on SmackDown. That time may come this Thursday as she will challenge Zelina Vega for the Women’s United States Championship. This will be Vega’s toughest challenge yet. Can she hold on to the gold or is her reign on borrowed time?
We can also expect appearances from United States Champion Jacob Fatu, Randy Orton, Jade Cargill and much more!
