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.

Nia Jax won’t be the only one defending a title tonight as the Motor City Machine Guns are set to defend the WWE Tag Team Championship against the Street Profits.
