WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship: The Irresistible Forces (c) vs. The Bella Twins

WWE Hall of Famers The Bella Twins will challenge Nia Jax and Las Legend for the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships on this week’s episode of SmackDown. This comes after they appeared on last week’s show and set their sights on the titles but got crushed by the champions. So fans are waiting to see who will come out on top in the end.

Drew McIntyre vs. Jacob Fatu

Drew McIntyre “quit” WWE last week on SmackDown before immediately returning later on in the show and attacking Jacob Fatu. This led to WWE booking a match between the two this week, so it remains to be seen who’ll walk out as the winner.
