Bengaluru, August 7: The WWE Champion is set to return on tonight's Smackdown Live and it was very much-needed as we can't think of a show without the 'champ that runs the camp’ with only 13 days left for Summerslam. Plus, the sudden change in the women’s championship lineup will also be addressed along with a solid match between two veteran tag teams for the contender’s spot on the show hosted by the Amway Center in Orlando, Florida.
Sony Ten 1 Network will telecast Smackdown Live in India on Wednesday (August 8) from 5.30 AM IST, while the repeat will be aired later in the day at 12 PM, 5 PM and 10 PM via the same network.
TOMORROW NIGHT on #SDLive at 8/7c on @USA_Network, @WWE Champion @AJStylesOrg returns to address @SamoaJoe!

We can't wait to see the first-ever AJ Styles vs. Samoa Joe bout at Summerslam. But the buildup needs to be better to add hype to the contest. AJ missed last week's edition and this allowed Samoa Joe to throw some insults about his family. Tonight, we expect AJ Styles to respond to those insults.
We are the future & the future is.... IICONIC! 😇 @MsCharlotteWWE & @BeckyLynchWWE are literally pathetic 😂 pic.twitter.com/7RERSuJdDM

Tonight, Charlotte and Becky Lynch's friendship will be put to test in a tag team match with just 13 days away from the championship match. The IIconics challenged the pair and it was accepted on social media which made the match official for tonight's Smackdown.

Charlotte and Becky will feature in the tag team match against the IIconics for the first time ever. We can expect Carmella to interfere and cause trouble to her Summerslam opponent during the match.
