This week’s episode of WWE SmackDown Live is set to take place from Manchester, England, and it’s shaping up to be a pretty big show. It was recently announced that Jinder Mahal will be defending his WWE Championship against AJ Styles on Tuesday, and now it’s also been confirmed that James Ellsworth will be facing off against Becky Lynch on the show.

James Ellsworth and Becky Lynch have had a long running rivalry on SmackDown Live and the rivalry recently picked up steam once again on Twitter.
Carmella recently posted a video on Twitter saying that she should be the captain of the women’s SmackDown Survivor Series team, and Becky Lynch didn’t agree.

Becky responded by saying she earned her place as the captain by tapping out Carmella, and she talked trash to Ellsworth for being led around on a leash like a dog, and she said she’s up for a match if either one of them want to challenge her.
