The September 11 episode of Friday Night SmackDown will build towards the Money in the Bank Premium Live Event. That’s exactly why WWE has put together a solid lineup to keep fans entertained from start to finish.
Undisputed WWE Championship: CM Punk (c) vs. Sami Zayn
CM Punk and Sami Zayn will once again fight over the Undisputed WWE Championship, but Zayn has made sure Punk couldn’t simply move on after taking the title from him. He challenged Punk to this match after Punk retained the title against Johnny Gargano last week. So it remains to be seen whether Zayn will pull off the upset win.
Interim WWE Women’s Championship: Chelsea Green (c) vs. Nia Jax
Chelsea Green has been medically cleared to wrestle again, but now she’s set to defend her title against Nia Jax. Green is still required to wear a protective facemask while competing. Jax made that weakness part of the story last week after defeating Tiffany Stratton with assistance from Lash Legend and then turning her attention toward Green. So we’ll have to see whether Green can survive Jax somehow.
AAA Cruiserweight Championship: Rey Fenix (c) vs. Ricky Saints
Rey Fenix will have home-country advantage when he defends the AAA Cruiserweight Championship against Ricky Saints. Saints has talked his way into a title match, but now he has to back it up against one of Mexico’s most accomplished stars. So fans are waiting to see how Saints will fare against Fenix.
Other Matches and Segments
Nikki Bella will go one-on-one with Paige after weeks of feuding. Cody Rhodes is also set to make an appearance following his controversial loss to Randy Orton at Sunday Night’s Main Event. Finally, The War Raiders put the AAA Tag Team Championship on the line against Damian Priest and R-Truth.
