Confirmed Match Card ##
IYO SKY to defend the WWE Women’s Title against Asuka ##
In two weeks IYO SKY will defend her WWE Women's Title against Asuka. ##
At SummerSlam, Sky used her Money in the Bank contract to challenge Bianca Belair after a triple threat match with Asuka and Charlotte Flair. She won her first WWE Women's Championship that night. Asuka, who was the previous champion, is due for a rematch in your opinion. This rematch is happening in two weeks from now. ##
The announcement for this match came on the September 8th episode of SmackDown. Charlotte Flair and Shotzi faced off against SKY and Bayley. During the match, Asuka interfered, causing Sky and Bayley to lose. Afterward, Asuka had a quick face-off with IYO Sky. Later that same night, during a backstage chat, SKY confirmed that she would give Asuka a title match, which is now scheduled to happen in two weeks. ##
Rey Mysterio & Santos Escobar vs. Montez Ford & Angelo Dawkins ##
During the September 15 SmackDown episode, Santos Escobar threw down a challenge to Rey Mysterio for the WWE United States Championship. Rey, with a smile, accepted the challenge. ##
After this, Bobby Lashley, Angelo Dawkins, and Montez Ford made their entrance and interrupted the group. Later, it was announced that Mysterio and Escobar would face Dawkins and Ford on September 22. ##
John Cena to appear on SmackDown ##
The Greatest of All-Time is set to make his comeback to SmackDown this week after a pretty eventful Friday last week. ##
On the previous SmackDown, we spotted Cena backstage, hanging out with The Rock. Later in the night, Cena was the special guest on The Grason Waller Effect. During the segment, Solo and Jimmy Uso launched an attack on John Cena, prompting Styles to step in and assist Cena. ##
Predicted Match Card ##
#1. Austin Theory Cuts A Promo ##
On last week's SmackDown, The Rock made a surprising comeback and, with some assistance from Pat McAfee, took down Austin Theory. The Rock's return occurred while Pat and Theory were engaged in a promo earlier in the show. ##
The Most Electrifying Man in All of Entertainment, along with Pat McAfee, was observed delivering People's Elbows to Austin Theory. So, it's likely that Austin Theory will have a promo to address what happened to him last week on SmackDown. ##
#2. AJ Styles & John Cena vs. Jimmy Uso & Solo Sikoa ##
Last week on SmackDown, AJ Styles and Finn Balor had a singles match. Priest and Dominik were barred from ringside to prevent distractions. The match was going perfectly for AJ Styles until Jimmy Uso unexpectedly appeared out of nowhere. He caused a distraction that allowed Balor to secure the victory. ##
Later in the main event of the show, Solo Sikoa came out to assist Jimmy Uso in launching a 2-on-1 attack on John Cena. AJ Styles rushed into the ring to aid Cena in fending off the assault. ##
#3. IYO SKY vs Asuka To Be Made Offical For WWE Fastlane ##
At SummerSlam, Sky used her Money in the Bank contract to challenge Bianca Belair after a triple threat match with Asuka and Charlotte Flair. She won her first WWE Women's Championship that night. Asuka, who was the previous champion, is due for a rematch in your opinion. This rematch is happening in two weeks from now. ##
The announcement for this match came on the September 8th episode of SmackDown. Charlotte Flair and Shotzi faced off against SKY and Bayley. During the match, Asuka interfered, causing Sky and Bayley to lose. Afterward, Asuka had a quick face-off with IYO Sky. ##
Later that same night, during a backstage chat, SKY confirmed that she would give Asuka a title match, which is now scheduled to happen in two weeks. I think the match wouldn't end cleanly, so it should be scheduled for WWE's upcoming event, "Fastlane." ##
