Tonight’s episode of WWE SmackDown Live is set to take place from the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY, and it will focus on the fallout from the SummerSlam pay-per-view. Coming out of the big event the blue brand has new Tag Team Champions and a new Women’s Champion, so it will be interesting to see how the roster reacts to the new title holders.
