Rusev Day vs Nakamerica

At WWE Hell in a Cell, the United States Championship was the only SmackDown LIVE title that was not defended, which did not go unnoticed by SmackDown LIVE General Manager Paige.

So, in honor of Rusev Day, the GM announced, via Twitter, that Shinsuke Nakamura must defend the star-spangled title tomorrow night against Rusev.

Will the nefarious The King of Strong Style stop the supreme threat that is The Bulgarian Brute? Find out tonight at 8/7 C on USA Network!

Becky Lynch’s triumphant return as champion

After overcoming Charlotte Flair at WWE Hell in a Cell, Becky Lynch has returned to glory as a two-time SmackDown Women’s Champion.

While Becky’s recent underhanded tactics against her one-time friend have paid off, there are few things more dangerous than The Queen after she has lost her crown.

So, depending upon whose camp you’re in, Becky’s scheduled Coronation will either serve as the return of the conquering Becky Balboa or the beginning of Charlotte Flair’s quest to recapture the blue brand title. Either way, fireworks are all but a certainty if these two decorated Superstars cross paths.
