Two Matches Slated For Next Week’s WWE SmackDown Live

WWE has announced two matches for next week’s episode of SmackDown Live on the USA Network.

First up is The Bar (Sheamus & Cesaro) vs. Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson in a tag team match. The second contest will have gold on the line as SmackDown General Manager Page has revealed that Charlotte Flair will make her first title defense as SmackDown Women’s Title when she defends it against former champion Carmella.

The daughter of WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair was able to beat Carmella and Becky Lynch in a triple threat match to win the SmackDown Women’s Title at Sunday’s (August 19, 2018) WWE SummerSlam pay-per-view event in Brooklyn, New York at the Barclays Center on the WWE Network.

WWE holds next week’s show in Toronto, Canada at the Scotiabank Arena. As of this writing, no other matches for SmackDown has been announced. The company will continue to build towards their next big event on this show which is the upcoming Hell in a Cell pay-per-view event on Sunday, September 16, 2018 in San Antonio, Texas at the AT&T Center.
