NEW MATCH FOR TONIGHT, TALENT THAT OPENED A LOT OF EYES LAST WEEK & MORE SMACKDOWN NEWS & NOTES

By Mike Johnson on 2018-07-24 18:55:00

Added to tonight's Smackdown is Rusev vs. Andrade "Cien" Almas.

As we mentioned during the We Don't Need No Stinkin' Name Show last week in the Elite section of PWInsider.com, Almas' work against AJ Styles last week really impressed a lot of people backstage and there was talk coming out of the show that he was in line for a big push.

All of the female Smackdown talents who were at Raw were flown to Smackdown this morning on the WWE corporate jet.

Maryse is backstage, so expect her to appear to help promote the debut of Miz & Mrs. after Smackdown tonight.

The Usos vs. The Bar will take place on next week's episode of Smackdown Live.  The winners will face the winners of Sanity vs. New Day in two weeks.

Previously announced for tonight:

*Paige reveals AJ Styles' Summerslam challenger for the WWE title.

*Tournament Match for Summerslam WWE Smackdown Tag Team Championship: Sanity vs. New Day.

*WWE Smackdown Women's Champion Carmella vs. Becky Lynch.
