After returning to the home of professional wrestling from the Madison Square Garden in New York City, WWE SmackDown will be heading to Toronto, next week to kick off a triple-header weekend before two premium live events.

Three matches have been announced for the coming show with one of them being a title defense where A-Town Down Under's Grayson Waller and Austin Theory will defend the WWE Tag Team Championships against DIY's Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa.

Waller and Theory captured the split tag titles at WrestleMania XL. For the past several weeks, they have been involved in this feud against Gargano and Ciampa. The four individuals also captured singles wins against one another in the recent past.

Also announced for next week's SmackDown, Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill will team up against Candice LeRae and Indi Hartwell in a tag team match. The setup of this match comes from a couple of angles on this week's episode during Money in the Bank qualifiers.

In the first one, Tiffany Stratton defeated Jade Cargill and Candice LeRae in a triple threat Hartwell interfered in favor of her tag partner LeRae by shoving Cargill into the ring post and taking her out of the equation.

This led Bianca Belair to chase Hartwell through the ramp as Tiffany landed the Prettiest Ever Moonsault finisher off the top ropes on LeRae to get the pin-fall win and advance to women's Money in the Bank ladder match.

In the second women's qualifier on SmackDown, Naomi defeated Indi Hartwell and Blair Davenport in another triple threat. During the match, Cargill came out and sought retribution on Indi by hitting her with some punches, allowing Naomi to pick up the victory.

In another match announced for next week's episode will witness Pretty Deadly's Elton Prince and Kit Wilson competing against Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins of The Street Profits in another tag team bout.

WWE SmackDown July 5 episode takes place at the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, the first event in a triple-header from the venue followed by Money in the Bank and NXT Heatwave. The current match card for the show goes as follows:
