WWE Smackdown preview: Tag team debut set for next week’s show, title match announced for Mexico City Smackdown

By Jason Powell, ProWrestling.net Editor (@prowrestlingnet)

The following matches and events are advertised for Friday’s WWE Smackdown.

-“Bakusai” Shinsuke Nakamura and Kyoki vs. The Miz and Kit Wilson

Powell’s POV: “The War Raiders” Erik and Ivar vs. Damian Priest and R-Truth for the AAA Tag Team Titles was announced for the September 11 Smackdown in Mexico City, Mexico, at Arena CDMX. Priest told Truth on tonight’s show that he wanted to focus on his singles career, but Truth accepted a challenge made by the War Raiders.

Next week’s Smackdown was taped tonight in Cleveland, Ohio, at Rocket Arena. We are seeking reports or basic results via [email protected]. Jake Barnett has next Friday off, so join me for our weekly live review as Smackdown airs on USA Network (and Netflix internationally) at 7CT/8ET. My same-night audio review will be available exclusively for Dot Net Members (including our Patreon patrons).
