Tonight’s episode of SmackDown Live is set to take place from the Verizon Arena in North Little Rock, AR, and it will focus on the fallout from last week’s show as the blue brand builds toward the Hell in a Cell pay-per-view in October.
Last week General Manager Daniel Bryan made a huge announcement when he revealed that he had signed former WWE Intercontinental Champion Shelton Benjamin, and he told Chad Gable that Benjamin will be his new tag team partner. The team will be making their debut on tonight’s episode.
Former NXT Champion Bobby Roode also debuted last week, and Dolph Ziggler returned, so we’ll be seeing more from both stars when SmackDown airs.
Superstars being advertised for tonight’s episode of SmackDown Live include WWE Champion Jinder Mahal, WWE United States Champion AJ Styles, Randy Orton, Baron Corbin, Shinsuke Nakamura, Rusev, Kevin Owens, Carmella, The Singh Brothers and more.
WWE is focusing on the following points for tonight’s episode of SmackDown Live:
- Will Kevin Owens be on the warpath?
- Gable & Benjamin make their tag team debut
- Has Lana prepared Tamina to crush the competition?
- Is Dolph Ziggler ready to show off his star power?
- Will Bobby Roode continue to make SmackDown LIVE glorious?
