WWE just dropped the announcement before tonight’s Smackdown. Aleister Black and Carmelo Hayes head straight in a singles match after a fierce showdown last week. WWE broke the news on Twitter and promoted the match as a must-see clash.
“After last week’s intense interaction, @aleister_blxck and @carmelo_wwe will be one-on-one tonight on #Smackdown!” WWE posted it a few hours before the show.
This matchup will cause more fires to already stacked SmackDown cards. John Cena will be making his final appearance before a backlash showdown with Randy Orton. Meanwhile, Damien Priest and La Knight will work together to face Jacob Fatu and Solo Cicor ahead of the priest’s US title defense.
Jade Cargill and Nia Jax also clash with the #1 contender match to decide who will challenge Tiffany Stratton at the WWE Women’s Championship.
The Nutter Center in Dayton, Ohio is becoming a battlefield of top WWE talent, with Aleister Black and Carmelo Hayes added to the mix.
