Everything Announced For Tonight's WWE SmackDown Card (9 July)
WWE detours through Rematch City with Cesaro vs. Rollins, Nakamura vs. Corbin, & more.
There's an air of familiarity about tonight's episode of WWE SmackDown, as all that's been announced for the card at the time of writing are a couple of rematches.
SmackDown will close the last two slots left open in the upcoming men's Money in the Bank ladder match (18 July) - and likely cap a couple of feuds in the process. WrestleMania 37 opponents Seth Rollins and Cesaro battle in one of the qualifiers, with crown-swapping kings Baron Corbin and Shinsuke Nakamura contest the other.
What else can we expect from tonight's show? Developments ahead of the money's MITB, for sure. Zelina Vega and Carmella are the blue brand's only representatives so far. Liv Morgan is vying for a spot, but has clashed with authority figure Sonya Deville in the process, so perhaps something will happen there.
Roman Reigns should have an interesting night following Jimmy Uso's arrest for DUI, particularly as Jey has been off television lately. One way or another, creative will need to handle the situation.
Also, this is SmackDown's last episode from the ThunderDome. Crowds are back next week. Rejoice!
