This week’s episode of WWE Friday Night SmackDown is set to air live from the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee, WI and it’s shaping up to be a big show. Last week SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis made a huge announcement when he introduced the world to the brand new WWE Women’s United States Championship.
Ahead of SmackDown this week Nick Aldis has announced that a tournament to crown the first Women’s United States Champion will kick off tonight with a triple threat match featuring Bayley, Candice LeRae and B-Fab.
Aldis also confirmed that Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes will be opening the show and that Nia Jax will defend her WWE Women’s Championship against Naomi in the main event.
