Two wrestling matches have been officially revealed for the next iteration of WWE’s Friday Night SmackDown event.
Based on the outcomes of recent matches, Bayley, the current WWE women’s champion, squared off against Piper Niven and successfully overcame her by pinfall. The situation at ringside was tumultuous with contenders for the Women’s Money in the Bank ladder match clashing, while Nia Jax, the “Queen,” seized the opportunity to make her presence felt by attacking Bayley post the pinfall. As a continuation of their ongoing narrative, Michin stepped in to help, brandishing a kendo stick and assailing Jax.
Consequently, a face-off between Michin and Nia Jax has been publicized for the following Friday. It’s highly probable that considering Jax is slated to challenge Bayley in the upcoming premium live event (SummerSlam), this encounter would offer her a chance to claim another win, paving the way for her title match.
Celebration OVER!

The only additional event scheduled for the forthcoming episode is a development on one of the most neglected feuds lately, with Baron Corbin and Apollo Crews set to fight Angel and Berto.
This narrative stretches back quite a few weeks and is centered on Legado Del Fantasma randomly inciting trouble with Crews and Corbin. In turn, the two formed an impromptu alliance to counter this. Occasionally, WWE doesn’t invest much in forwarding this storyline, but it seems the time has come to pen the next exciting entry in this saga.
