Three Matches Announced For WWE SmackDown This Week
WWE hoping to create a buzz for the second edition of the show on USA Network.
During Monday night's RAW broadcast, WWE announced three matches for this Thursday night's edition of SmackDown on the USA Network. This will be the second broadcast of the show since it moved to USA, and it will be taped Tuesday evening in Lafayette, Louisiana. The first announced bout is a tables match pitting The Dudley Boyz against the Wyatt Family. Just when you think the feud between these two groups has reached its finale, another bout between them is announced. It looks like they will continue feuding for the foreseeable future. Also announced is a tag team match with Dean Ambrose and Neville taking on Kevin Owens and Sheamus. Owens continued his rivalry with Ambrose during RAW when he attacked Ambrose toward the end of his match with Sheamus. Owens was again made to look strong, getting the upper-hand on Ambrose. Later, during the main event of RAW in the "One Versus All" match pitting Roman Reigns against several men on the roster, Owens wrestled the majority of the match against Roman. Owens again looked strong in this match and continues to be pushed as one of the top heels in the company, which is a breath of fresh air. Finally, in a rematch from RAW, new WWE United States Champion Kalisto will defend his belt against Alberto Del Rio on this week's SmackDown. Kalisto won the belt clean on Monday evening as WWE continues to try to capitalize on the social media buzz Kalisto created for himself with the insane Salida del Sol spot at last month's TLC PPV event.
