# Charlotte Flair meets Asuka in a WrestleMania Rematch

* At WrestleMania 34 in April, Charlotte Flair ended Asuka’s two-and-a-half-year undefeated streak. Tonight, she’ll have the chance to make it 2-0 against The Empress of Tomorrow on SmackDown LIVE.
Both Superstars will challenge Becky Lynch for the SmackDown Women’s Championship in the first-ever Women’s TLC Match. After a heated contract signing, the two were forced to team up against Mandy Rose & Sonya Deville, but they did not get on the same page and tasted defeat after Charlotte kicked Asuka in the head – seemingly by mistake – and Asuka responded by kneeing Flair in the face.
Who will win this WrestleMania Rematch?

# The Usos and The Bar to clash in a Rap Battle hosted by The New Day

* As the Triple Threat Match for the SmackDown Tag Team Titles at WWE TLC draws near, the bad blood between The Bar and The Usos is about to boil over. It may do just that tonight on SmackDown LIVE when the two teams meet in a Rap Battle, hosted by The New Day.
We’ve seen The Usos spit rhymes in the past, but the lyrical stylings of Sheamus & Cesaro are unknown to the WWE Universe. What kind of bars will The Bar bring?

# Jeff Hardy to address Samoa Joe’s “public service announcement”

* Last week on SmackDown LIVE, Jeff Hardy reignited his rivalry against Randy Orton one week after The Viper unleashed a brutal assault on Rey Mysterio. However, just after Hardy dropped Orton with a back suplex on the announce table and ascended the ropes looking to crash down onto The Viper, Samoa Joe suddenly appeared on the TitanTron from a bar, callously mocking The Charismatic Enigma and keeping him distracted long enough for Orton to level his opponent with the RKO for the victory. As Hardy recovered, Joe added insult to injury be mocking Hardy with a “public service announcement” on the dangers of drinking in excess.
In response, WWE.com has now learned that Jeff Hardy will address Samoa Joe’s public service announcement tonight on the blue brand.

# Naomi goes one-on-one with Mandy Rose

* A war of words on social media will turn physical during SmackDown LIVE, as Naomi takes on Mandy Rose.
The back-and-forth started when The Golden Goddess took to Twitter to point out Naomi’s recent shortcomings, especially in the Mixed Match Challenge with her husband, Jimmy Uso.
