WWE looks ready to throw the women’s Money in the Bank field straight into the fire tonight. The October 9 episode of SmackDown is the final stop before the Premium Live Event, and the current early rundown has all six women from the ladder match colliding in the very first match of the night.
According to Viper Reports, a six-woman tag team match featuring every participant in the Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match is currently listed as the opening match for tonight’s episode of SmackDown. That means WWE could be giving fans a pretty good preview of the chaos coming at Money in the Bank before the show even gets settled in.
As always with an early rundown, nothing is locked in until the show actually hits the air. WWE can change match order, segments and timing right up until broadcast, so the opening match could still move before SmackDown begins.
The match is also a pretty obvious way to get every woman in the Money in the Bank field involved one night before they’re all fighting over the briefcase. With six competitors in one match, WWE has plenty of room for arguments, breakdowns and somebody trying to grab a little momentum before the ladder match.
CM Punk is also currently listed for the opening segment of the show, according to the early rundown, meaning WWE may be loading up the first part of SmackDown with some of the biggest names headed into Money in the Bank.
Tonight’s show will also feature Fatal Influence defending the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship against Charlotte Flair and Tatum Paxley. SmackDown airs live from the Cajundome in Lafayette, Louisiana at 8 PM ET on USA Network.
If the early rundown sticks, WWE isn’t easing into this one. They’re putting the entire women’s Money in the Bank field together right out of the gate, and with the briefcase hanging over everything, there’s a pretty good chance this turns into a mess fast.
Who do you think should walk out of tonight’s six-woman tag match with the most momentum heading into Money in the Bank? Let us know your thoughts and feedback in the comments.
