Many have assumed this would be this case, but Randy Orton vs. Bray Wyatt is being advertised for the September 11th WWE Backlash event in Richmond, Virginia.

Wyatt interrupted a classicly long-winded Randy Orton talking segment last week on WWE SmackDown Live, and the seeds seem to have been sown for an eventual meeting between The Viper and the Eater of Worlds.

Certain promotional material seems to agree, so I would expect the match to be made official tonight on SmackDown Live. Orton vs. Wyatt should join Dean Ambrose vs. AJ Styles for the WWE World Championship as well as the final of the WWE SmackDown Live Tag Tea Tournament.

The first ever SmackDown Women's Champion will also be crowned on September 11th, as SmackDown's entire women's division (minus the suspended Eva Marie) will face off in a six-pack challenge. Becky Lynch, Nikki Bella, Alexa Bliss, Naomi, Natalya and Carmella will battle to etch their name in history and be the first to hold the championship.

Elsewhere on SmackDown Live, Daniel Bryan is going to respond to the fiery words of The Miz tonight and surely set up a future challenge for the current Intercontinental Champion.
