What to watch on Friday Night Smackdown
Smackdown Women’s Champion Liv Morgan is on a collision course with Ronda Rousey at SummerSlam and will be in action against Natalya on tonight’s show. Natalya has directly challenged the new champ on multiple fronts since Money in the Bank and will get her one-on-one opportunity tonight. We’ll see how this one plays out and if Rousey will get involved.
Men’s Money in the Bank winner Theory is set to face Bobby Lashley for the United States Champion at SummerSlam and in the meantime, he’s been annoying everyone by teasing the fact that he could cash in his briefcase at any time. Tonight, he’ll go head-to-head with Madcap Moss, who has vowed to shut him up. Monday’s Raw interestingly went off the air with a returning Dolph Ziggler superkicking Theory, so we’ll see if that storyline progresses tonight.
Also on the show, we’ll most likely get fallout from Lacey Evans’ heel turn promo where she attacked Aliyah at the end. Also, perhaps more Maximum Male Models?
