WWE has loaded tonight's episode of SmackDown with two big matches and two major segments.

Firstly, Alexa Bliss will host a special (possibly Bray Wyatt-influenced?) edition of 'A Moment Of Bliss'. Her ex-tag partner Nikki Cross, who has been kayfabe-alarmed by Alexa's recent behaviour, will be the guest.

Then, later in the broadcast, Sasha Banks will make her first appearance since being attacked by Bayley several weeks ago. WWE claim she will "address" the betrayal - look out for a SmackDown Women's Title challenge there.

As for the actual in-ring matches? WWE has some goodies lined up.

Sami Zayn and AJ Styles will collide to battle for Intercontinental Title contention. It's rumoured this will lead to a logical Triple Threat with reigning IC Champ Jeff Hardy at Clash Of Champions on 27 September. That'd certainly make sense.

Finally, Roman Reigns will team with pay-per-view opponent Jey Uso to take on Sheamus and 'King' Corbin in what it being billed as a 'Samoan Street Fight'. Expect weapons, carnage and maybe a bit of friction between the Universal Champ and his challenger.

This is the penultimate episode of SmackDown before Clash Of Champions.
