Tiffany Stratton defends WWE Women’s Title against Bayley​

Tiffany Stratton will make her first WWE Women’s Title defense when she battles familiar rival Bayley.

Bayley took down Nia Jax, Naomi and Bianca Belair in a No. 1 Contenders Fatal 4-Way Match to earn a chance to challenge The Center of the Universe.

She now looks to quickly end the WWE Women’s Title reign of Stratton, who shockingly cashed in her Money in the Bank contract two weeks ago to defeat Nia Jax.

Stratton interfered in Bayley’s WWE Women’s Title defense against Nia Jax at SummerSlam, allowing Jax to defeat Bayley and win the championship.

Who will leave San Diego as WWE Women’s Champion?

Motor City Machine Guns take on Los Garza​

The Motor City Machine Guns will have to get through Los Garza if they want a chance to reclaim the WWE Tag Team Championship.

Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley recently bested A-Town Down Under, while Los Garza defeated Pretty Deadly.

Now, the two teams will square off for a chance to challenge WWE Tag Team Champions #DIY.

Motor City Machine Guns have been looking to gain retribution on Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa after they took the title from them due to Johnny Wrestling delivering a low blow to Alex Shelley.

Which team will be the next to face #DIY for the title?
​

Solo Sikoa returns​

Next week, Solo Sikoa will make his SmackDown return.

Sikoa has not been seen since losing the Ula Fala and title of Tribal Chief to Roman Reigns on the Raw on Netflix Premiere, where The Head of the Table defeated Sikoa in Tribal Combat.

How will Sikoa bounce back from his loss?​

I’ll be at this show, I’m excited for anything else that’ll get announced for it. Tiffy vs Bayley should be good, as should MCMG vs Los Garzas.

Hope you have a great time, Jimmy.

Tiffany as Babyface or heel? I would of said Tweener as she still came across heelish but that could of just been me. But I couldn't make it out. Anyone know?

Bianca Belair & Naomi take on Nia Jax & Candice LeRae​

Bayley reigned supreme in last week's turbulent Fatal 4-Way Match against Nia Jax, Naomi and Bianca Belair to earn the right to challenge Tiffany Stratton for the WWE Women's Title, but the WWE Women's Tag Team Champions are coming for more when they take on The Irresistable Force and the disruptive Candice LeRae.​
