Bengaluru, July 16: Like the Monday Night Raw roster, WWE Smackdown Live also crowned two new champions at Extreme Rules. But neither of them, the male/female division champions will headline the post-PPV edition as Shane McMahon continues to steal the spotlight from superstars. Tonight, he is set to host a meeting to listen to the complaints of the talents which may not end in a smooth way.
Apart from this segment, WWE confirmed two tag team matches on Smackdown. One of which will see the women’s tag titles hanging in the balance. Meanwhile, Daniel Bryan is set to make an announcement that is being dubbed as a 'career-altering’ decision.
Plus, the WWE and the Smackdown women’s champion is set to receive new challengers for Summerslam 2019. All of these and more are expected to happen when Tuesday Night’s show airs live from the DCU Center in Worcester, Massachusetts.
Sony TEN 1 will telecast WWE Smackdown Live in India on Wednesday (July 17) from 5.30 AM IST, while the repeat will air later in the day at 1 PM, 5 PM and 9 PM.
Kevin Owens has been on a ranting spree against Shane McMahon from last week onwards with the complaint that the latter one is consuming TV-time that should have belonged to the youngsters. To make things interesting, the authority figure has now announced a 'Town Hall Meeting’ on Smackdown. Here’s more from WWE.com,
“Kevin Owens has made it clear that he is no fan of Shane McMahon in recent weeks, even going so far as to drop Shane-O-Mac with a Stunner. In the aftermath of Owens’ comments last week on SmackDown LIVE and at Extreme Rules, McMahon has vowed to host a town hall meeting to allow Superstars to air any and all complaints and grievances. What Superstars will speak up?”
The same can be said for Smackdown women’s champion, Bayley who also had a successful title defense against Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross. Lastly, the new IC title-holder, Shinsuke Nakamura is expected to continue his rivalry against Finn Balor. However, with the return of Bray Wyatt on Raw attacking Balor, a new opponent should be waiting for Nakamura as well.
