SmackDown LIVE preview, June 19, 2018: Who will challenge AJ Styles at WWE Extreme Rules?
On Sunday at WWE Money in the Bank, WWE Champion AJ Styles ended one of the most grueling chapters in his reign, defeating Shinsuke Nakamura decisively in a Last Man Standing Match to retain the title. However, there is no rest for the champion, as he must prepare for his next defense on Sunday, July 15, at WWE Extreme Rules. His challenger will be determined in a Gauntlet Match. Who from Team Blue will step up and earn this huge opportunity? Find out on SmackDown LIVE, tonight at 8/7 C on USA Network!

WWE Champion AJ Styles defeated Shinsuke Nakamura in a Last Man Standing Match at WWE Money in the Bank on Sunday, putting an end to one of his most grueling rivalries.
There won’t be any downtime for the champion, though, as he’ll have to be ready for his next challenger at WWE Extreme Rules. His opponent will be decided in a Gauntlet Match tonight on SmackDown LIVE.

Daniel Bryan, Big E, Samoa Joe, The Miz and Rusev will take part in what is sure to be an action-packed battle. Who will emerge as the next challenger for The Phenomenal One?

The Bludgeon Brothers and Gallows & Anderson to clash for the SmackDown Tag Team Titles tonight
The SmackDown Tag Team Titles will be on the line tonight, as The Bludgeon Brothers defend against Gallows & Anderson on SmackDown LIVE.

Harper & Rowan clashed with the good brothers on Sunday during the WWE Money in the Bank Kickoff in a hard-hitting showdown for the titles. Gallows & Anderson had Harper in position for the Magic Killer and appeared to be on the verge of winning the titles, only for Rowan to take Karl Anderson out, leaving Luke Gallows susceptible to a double-team powerbomb that allowed The Bludgeon Brothers to retain.

SmackDown LIVE General Manger Paige was apparently eager to see these four bruisers go at it again, as she announced the rematch for tonight on Twitter:

SAnitY debut against The Usos
For weeks, the impending arrival of SAnitY has been hanging over SmackDown LIVE. No one knew what the chaotic crew of Eric Young, Alexander Wolfe and the monstrous Killian Dain had in store for Team Blue after joining during the Superstar Shake-up, but the wait is over, as they will be making their debut tonight.
SAnitY isn’t wasting any time, either, as they’ll be taking on The Usos in their first match on SmackDown LIVE. Will The Usos put the newcomers in their place, or will chaos reign in SAnitY’s arrival?

Becky Lynch takes on Billie Kay
Becky Lynch was inches away from becoming Ms. Money in the Bank on Sunday until Alexa Bliss dashed her dreams and claimed the contract for herself. Despite the setback, The Irish Lass Kicker has been on a roll in recent weeks on SmackDown LIVE, which she’ll look to continue in one-on-one competition against Billie Kay of The IIconics.
Can Lynch bounce back, or will Kay ensure The Irish Lass Kicker continues to have a bad week?

Is another Mellabration in the works?
Carmella pulled off what many in the WWE Universe thought was impossible at WWE Money in the Bank, defeating Asuka to retain the SmackDown Women’s Championship. The Princess of Staten Island had a shocking assist from the returning James Ellsworth, who helped her pick up the victory.
How will the champion follow up her big win? Is another Mellabration in the cards? Will Carmella have to deal with Asuka, who will surely be out for retribution? Find out tonight on SmackDown LIVE at 8/7 C on USA Network!

Who let Carmella outta the Gorilla position looking like that?

Raise his pay, but seriously I'm still pissed WWE brought back Ellsworth. You had Ellsworth help her win the MITB in the first place and they needed to get it back on her because they knew it made no sense for WWE to say all the time, Women are powerful and can do what any Man can do, but they had Ellsworth help her. Once again a Man helped a Woman, but clearly WWE wants to say Mella is money blah bah not buying it WWE.

Mella>Bliss that promo, whether or not I like how it was handled still Mella is a better Champion than Bliss. Bliss has her in the skills in the ring though.

I know he is into the gimmick. I wouldn't be shocked to see him speaking Japanese and making fun on the way she talks because that is what WWE does.

These Valley Girl impressions from Iconics are starting to drag. WWE missed up these two ladies since coming up to the Main Roster.

Maybe tonight they get some kind of momentum going with Billie getting a win over Becky. Granted I thought Becky should of won the MITB, so I'm torn either way.
