Just five days before SummerSlam, John Cena will battle WWE Champion Jinder Mahal in an epic non-title bout.

The final edition of SmackDown LIVE before SummerSlam will be headlined by a bout of epic proportions, as John Cena takes on WWE Champion Jinder Mahal.

Both Superstars have tough battles ahead of them at The Biggest Event of The Summer, with Baron Corbin awaiting Cena and Shinsuke Nakamura ready to challenge for The Modern-Day Maharaja’s title. For Mahal, it’s a chance to cement himself as Team Blue’s top dog against a 16-time World Champion, while Cena will be looking to bounce back from his loss to Nakamura on SmackDown LIVE two weeks ago.

What will happen when these two Superstars collide days before SummerSlam? Find out on SmackDown LIVE, tonight at 8/7 C on USA Network!

AJ Styles to apologize to Shane McMahon

Last week, special guest referee Shane McMahon attempted to lay out the rules of engagement for SummerSlam’s United States Championship bout between AJ Styles and Kevin Owens. Unfortunately, the tensions between all three men reached a boiling point, as Owens landed a sucker punch on Styles. The Phenomenal One attempted to retaliate with a Pele Kick, only for it to connect with Shane.

WWE.com has learned that Styles intends to apologize to McMahon on SmackDown LIVE. Will Shane accept? Will the inadvertent kick have any effect on Shane’s promise to call things right down the middle at SummerSlam?

Natalya battles Becky Lynch before SummerSlam title showdown

The last stop on the road to SummerSlam won’t be an easy one for Natalya. Days before she challenges Naomi for the SmackDown Women’s Championship, the third-generation Superstar will square off with Becky Lynch in singles competition on SmackDown LIVE.

Will Natalya make it to Brooklyn in one piece, or will The Irish Lass Kicker soften her up for Naomi with a devastating Dis-arm-her?

Breezango returns to “Fashion Peaks” one last time

SmackDown LIVE’s fashion police were hoping that their latest case was coming to an end during last week’s edition of “Fashion Peaks.” However, after discovering that WWE Hall of Famer Arn Anderson was behind the destruction of Tully the Horse, Breezango soon realized that their work was just beginning.

Tyler Breeze and Fandango are returning to “Fashion Peaks” for one last investigation. What will they
discover? Find out by tuning into SmackDown LIVE, tonight at 8/7 C on USA Network!​

I didn't like how they associated Indian culture with Mahal as a heel
