On Paige’s women’s Money In The Bank Summit:
Just days before the Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match, SmackDown LIVE General Manager Paige will gather Team Blue’s entrants for a summit tonight.
Charlotte Flair, Naomi, Becky Lynch and Lana each had to earn their way into the battle in Chicago, and they’ve been trying to gain all-important momentum in the weeks since. Naomi and Lana have been at each other’s throats following a heated Dance-Off, while Flair and Lynch put their friendship to the test in a thrilling one-on-one battle this week that saw The Irish Lass Kicker defeat her pal with the Dis-arm-her.
What will happen when all four are in the same ring? How will Paige handle what is sure to be a high-tension situation?
On Daniel Bryan and Shelton Benjamin squaring off:
Daniel Bryan’s passionate response to Big Cass’ interview on last Tuesday’s SmackDown was the talk of the WWE Universe, but his words also caught the attention of Shelton Benjamin, who had a few things to say about Bryan’s speech.
Hard to argue with @WWEDanielBryan about @BigCassWWE ..but the being a hard worker rant? GIVE me a break!?I’ve worked for companies & won champions around the globe. Not enough to just be “good” on #SDLive https://t.co/nFBmSBSfFZ

Benjamin will get the chance to back up his feelings tomorrow night, as Paige has placed him in a match against the leader of The “Yes!” Movement. Can Bryan shift his focus from Big Cass and deal with the mat maven, or will Benjamin prove that Bryan’s talk was just that? Find out tonight on SmackDown LIVE at 8/7 C on USA!
