WWE SmackDown goes down live tonight from the Kia Center in Orlando, Florida, and the United States Championship match is officially set—Je’Von Evans will challenge Sami Zayn in what could be the biggest opportunity of his career.

Sami Zayn has been on an absolute tear since winning the U.S. Title from Solo Sikoa in August, defending it weekly against top names like John Cena, Rey Fenix, and Carmelo Hayes. Now, he puts the gold on the line against rising WWE NXT star Je’Von Evans, who’s looking to make a name for himself by knocking off one of WWE’s most battle-tested champions.

Also on the card, Tiffany Stratton defends her WWE Women’s Championship in a triple threat match against Jade Cargill and Nia Jax. The winner will earn a shot at Women’s World Champion Stephanie Vaquer in Perth, making this a high-stakes showdown.

Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes is also set to appear live, with his Crown Jewel clash against World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins looming large. Rhodes is expected to address the upcoming title unification bout scheduled for October 11.
