With a week left before Clash at the Castle, we saw the card take more shape on Friday Night SmackDown. A triple threat Women's Tag Team Championship match between Bianca & Jade (C) vs Shayna Baszler & Zoey Starks vs the Unholy Union of Isla Dawn & Alba Fyre. Interesting enough it was the champs pushing for this match. Typically the champion doesn't like three way dances because there is no champions advantage and they dont have to be a part of the pinfall or submission to lose the match and the title. Did we get a little hint of arrogance from Bianca?
Cody Rhodes will be defending his WWE Championship against A J Styles after A J's impersonation of Mark Henry last week (faking his retirement). Cody also brought in the " I Quit" stipulation saying he is going to make A J say what he should have said the week prior.
Also social media may be important this weekend. United States Champion Logan Paul was not at SmackDown because he is taking part in the Tetris World Championships in Los Angeles. I did not know that there was such a thing. L.A. Knight stated if Logan didn't want to come to SmackDown that he will bring Smackdown to Logan. L.A. Knight may just attack Logan at the event setting up a U S Title match in Glasgow next Saturday.
We mustn't forget the verbal confrontation from the Women's Champion Bayley and Piper Niven. Piper gave one heck of a promo talking about her trials and tribulations to get to WWE and that she was a World Champion before coming to WWE. This amtch could quite possibly steal the show next Saturday.
