WWE have released what could be a complete match card for tonight's episode of SmackDown in Des Moines, Iowa through their official website.

Taking top billing is a Women's Championship match between Naomi and Charlotte, who pinned the reigning champ in her SD debut last week, but has been gold-less since losing the Raw belt in February.

WWE Champion Randy Orton will meet Erick Rowan in a No DQ non-title match, ahead of wrestling Bray Wyatt in a House of Horrors match at Payback on Sunday. WWE have been shy on releasing details on the HOH stipulation thus far, but with Orton vs. Rowan advertised as a "preview," we could learn more tonight.
