Lynch vs. Flair – SmackDown Women’s Title Rematch (If Becky gets DQ’ed, she loses the title)

Lynch vs. Flair – SmackDown Women’s Title Rematch (If Becky gets DQ’ed, she loses the title)

SmackDown Women’s Champion Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair’s title match at WWE Super Show-Down did not end without controversy
on Saturday when Lynch intentionally got herself disqualified against The Queen in order to hold onto the gold.
Well, that will not be an option for her when the two rematch in a contest where if The Irish Lass Kicker gets DQ’ed she will lose
the title.
Will Lynch be able to keep it clean against The Queen now that she doesn’t have the outlet to escape with the title by resorting
to questionable tactics? Or, after Becky got the best of her after the bell at WWE Super Show-Down, will Charlotte’s rage prove
to be her achilles heel?
Find out this tonight as this major title rematch with an even bigger stipulation goes down!

Jeff Hardy and Samoa Joe to battle in World Cup Qualifying Match

Jeff Hardy is back and has his eyes set on the WWE World Cup at WWE Crown Jewel … but his Qualifying Match will be anything but a
tune-up as he squares off against a none-too-pleased Samoa Joe.
The Charismatic Enigma will be looking to make a declarative statement to the WWE Universe as he competes in his first match since
the scary incident that saw him land hard through a table and have to be stretchered out at WWE Hell in a Cell. The Samoan Submission
Machine will also be aiming to reset and move forward after his (literally) brutal defeat to AJ Styles in the WWE Title Match at
WWE Super Show-Down.
Which Superstar will begin to carve out a new path towards potential WWE World Cup glory?

Big Show returns to collide with Randy Orton in WWE World Cup Qualifying Match

With the WWE World Cup beginning to come into focus for WWE Crown Jewel, several big Qualifying Matches will begin to take place …
some real big.
Yes, Big Show will return to SmackDown LIVE this week to take on Randy Orton on the blue brand.
Will The World’s Largest Athlete be able to shake off any ring rust and defeat the vicious Viper as he tries to advance in this world
event at the Saudi Arabia pay-per-view? Or, will The Apex Predator strike first and take down Big Show and advance on in this
international event?

WWE Champion AJ Styles and Daniel Bryan to appear on “Miz TV”

Daniel Bryan stunned The Miz on Saturday in Australia, catching The Awesome One off-guard with a small package in minutes to win their
highly anticipated SummerSlam rematch and earn a WWE Championship Match against AJ Styles at WWE Crown Jewel.
Though he won’t be competing for the title, The A-Lister is keeping himself close to the WWE Title picture by hosting both Bryan and Styles
this Tuesday on “Miz TV.” Will The Miz be out to stir the pot between champion and challenger as their high-stakes showdown draws near?
