Bengaluru, June 5: Although Super ShowDown is the next big event on the WWE calendar, the promotion has already started to set up the match card for the next pay-per-view, the Stomping Grounds.
After the potential main event of the brand new show was declared earlier this week on Monday Night Raw, we received the first championship match of the PPV last night on Smackdown as the women's champion received a new challenger for her title.
Alexa Bliss used the Wild Card Rule to make her presence felt on Smackdown last night and hosted a special blue brand edition of Moment of Bliss with the special guest, Bayley. Instead of focussing on the women's champion, she looked eager to get a cup of coffee and finally started the discussion on a successful Money in the Bank cash-in by The Hugger.
That dragged Carmella, who is the only two-time female Money in the Bank winner in the WWE into the ring. So one just can't keep her out of the conversation while speaking about the opportunistic briefcase. Charlotte Flair soon joined the fray to announce a number one contender's match for the Smackdown women's championship.
Here is WWE.com's statement for the official announcement of the match,
“At the first-ever WWE Stomping Grounds, Bayley will defend her SmackDown’s Women’s Title against a Superstar that is no stranger to the gold, the incomparable Alexa Bliss. When the two decorated Superstars square off, it won’t be all hugs. But without a doubt, the WWE Universe is in for a truly explosive encounter from start to finish. Tune in to WWE Stomping Grounds, Sunday, June 23, at 7 ET/4 PT on the award-winning WWE Network.”
