WWE SmackDown Live June 26, 2018 Preview

USA Network will air SmackDown Live episode 984 this week from the Citizens Business Bank Arena in Ontario, California. On this occasion, we will have as the main course an encounter between Jeff Hardy and Shinsuke Nakamura for the United States Championship of WWE.

– The United States WWE Championship will be defended tonight on SmackDown Live. After having several verbal exchanges in recent weeks, SmackDown Live General Manager Paige decreed a title match between “The Artist” and “The Charismatic Enigma.”

– Last week, Daniel Bryan almost palpated a title shot for the WWE Championship but the Bludgeon Brothers interfered to cost Bryan the fight, leaving him on a platter to The Miz. Perhaps, as a token of gratitude, The Miz has invited the SmackDown tag team Champions to Miz TV. Will they have something to say to The A-Lister? Will Bryan respond?

– Rusev at the top after winning the Gauntlet match last week to earn an opportunity for the WWE Championship against AJ Styles at Extreme Rules. However, Styles was not the target of the “The Bulgarian Brute” tweets over the weekend as he focused on Xavier Woods from The New Day. What will happen between the two this week?

– Becky Lynch will face Peyton Royce tonight. Despite falling short in the Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match, “The Irish Lass Kicker” recovered with a victory over Billie Kay last Tuesday, forcing him to surrender the Dis-arm-her. Can Royce avoid the same fate or will Lynch continue his way back to the image of the SmackDown Live Women’s Championship?

– The WWE Universe received a surprise on Monday night when the cast members of “GLOW” Netflix’s original series revealed that they will go through SmackDown Live tonight, Britt Baron who plays Justine in the hit comedy, will be released in its second season on Friday, made the announcement in a Twitter post, mentioning that they will be watching Naomi, what are your intentions?
