Another Title Match & More Announced For Smackdown

August 20, 2020 0 By Tim Jarrell

The second title match for Smackdown has been set.

This week’s Smackdown is a major show. This will be the return to live programming and the first show from the WWE ThunderDome. Last week it was announced that AJ Styles will defend the Intercontinental Championship against Jeff Hardy. Tonight more matches, including another title match has been announced.

WWE has announced that Shinsuke Nakamura and Cesaro will defend the Smackdown Tag Team Championships against The Lucha House party’s Gran Metalik and Lince Dorado.

Life has been good to Shinsuke Nakamura & Cesaro as SmackDown Tag Team Champions, but Gran Metalik & Lince Dorado are intent on crashing that party.

Lucha House Party will aim to shut down the “Champion’s Lounge” when they challenge Nakamura & Cesaro for the SmackDown Tag Team Titles. The tandems have gone back in forth in singles action in the past two weeks as Cesaro first crushed Lince Dorado, and Gran Metalik then walked the ropes to a win against The King of Strong Style. The King of the Ropes was aided by the surprising return of Kalisto who neutralized The Swiss Cyborg outside the ring.

Will Lucha House Party finally get their hands on the titles? Or will Nakamura & Cesaro be toasting another victory?

WWE has also announced that Big E will be taking on Sheamus. Last week Sheamus attacked Big E leading to this match tomorrow night.

Big E has dreams of climbing to WWE’s mountaintop, and Sheamus loves nothing more than to crush a good dream.

The New Day powerhouse will face The Celtic Warrior in the WWE ThunderDome, as Big E looks to continue a strong start to his Singles run. Big E forced both John Morrison & The Miz to tap out in his last matches, as the ultimate teammate showed off his complete skillset. Following that win over Morrison, Sheamus came calling and delivered an earth-shattering Brogue Kick to Big E.

Can Big E keep his dream alive against Sheamus? Or will The Celtic Warrior have his opponent rethinking his decision to go it alone?

Also, WWE has announced that the Universal Champion Braun Strowman will be on the show just days before he defends his title against The Fiend at SummerSlam.

Braun Strowman walked into the Wyatt Swamp Fight hoping to bury his past but walked out by unearthing The Monster.

The Universal Champion will face “The Fiend” Bray Wyatt for the title at SummerSlam, but it’s clear that Strowman’s encounters with “The Fiend” have already drastically changed him.

Since Strowman’s return from the swamp, his deranged spiral has been on full display. An incensed Strowman returned to the SmackDown ring last week and urged Wyatt to approach the evil giant and come face his fears. Instead, Alexa Bliss entered hoping to talk and then slap some sense into her friend and former Mixed Match Challenge partner. An unhinged Strowman answered her pleas by raising Bliss above his head until finally enticing a response from Wyatt.

With SummerSlam just days away, who will find themselves in Strowman’s path of destruction this week?
