Nakamura and Hardy set to settle the score
United States Champion Shinsuke Nakamura and Jeff Hardy have been bickering and battling, for months. Now, with Jeff Hardy’s Hell in a Cell clash with Randy Orton only days away at the WWE Hell in a Cell pay-per-view event, Hardy feels as though he must “cleanse his soul” and resolve his unfinished business with The King of Strong Style.
SmackDown LIVE General Manager Paige agreed, and revealed that this showdown will be the first match to take place tonight on SmackDown LIVE.
Will The Charismatic Enigma be able to pick up pivotal momentum heading into his clash with The Viper by defeating Nakamura? Or, will WWE’s Rockstar rock Hardy to his core and put the fan favorite at a decisive disadvantage as he prepares to enter The Apex Predator’s line of fire?
Rusev Day and The Bar to fight for a title shot
SmackDown Tag Team Champions The New Day will find out who they will defend their titles against this Sunday at WWE Hell in a Cell tonight, as Rusev Day and The Bar clash for the right to face the titleholders in San Antonio.
The bout is the culmination of a tournament set up by Paige to determine the champions’ next opponents. Sheamus & Cesaro defeated Gallows & Anderson and The Colons in one Triple Threat Match to advance, while The Bulgarian Brute & Aiden English bested SAnitY’s Eric Young & Killian Dain and The Usos to move one step closer to championship glory.
Who will earn themselves a championship opportunity? Find out in what is sure to be a hard-hitting battle on SmackDown LIVE, tonight at 8/7 C on USA Network!
