-- WWE Men's Tag Team Championship: DIY (Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa) vs. Pretty Deadly (Elton Prince and Kit Wilson)
DIY have been trying to avoid giving Kit Wilson & Elton Prince a title shot, despite promising them an opportunity. After Pretty Deadly defeated WWE Tag Team Champions DIY in a non title match last week, SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis has granted them a title opportunity.

-- Drew McIntyre vs. Jimmy Uso
During a backstage altercation, Drew McIntyre got inside Jimmy Uso’s head by comparing his success to Jey Uso’s. Drew mocked Jimmy last week for “marrying up,” making him look like a fool. Jimmy didn’t take it well. After Jimmy Uso shut down the outspoken Drew McIntyre with a superkick, the two intense Superstars are set to square off tonight.

-- Naomi vs. Liv Morgan.
Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez have been feuding with Bianca Belair and Naomi ever since Morgan and Rodriguez walked away from the scene after Jade Cargill was attacked last year. During the February 17 episode of Raw, Liv Morgan got beat up by Naomi and Bianca Belair and now Morgan will be facing off against Naomi tonight.
