Brock Lesnar set to appear live on SmackDown after retaining WWE Championship at Crown Jewel
Brock Lesnar will appear live on SmackDown tonight — and still as the reigning, defending, undisputed WWE Champion.
The Beast is set to be on hand in Buffalo, N.Y., one night after
turning aside Cain Velasquez’s challenge for his WWE Title at Crown Jewel. Using a Kimura to avenge one of the most scarring defeats of his career from nearly a decade ago, Lesnar refused to relinquish the hold even after submitting Velasquez.
But Velasquez’s ally,
Rey Mysterio, stormed the ring to eventually ward off Lesnar with multiple chair strikes. With one rival vanquished but perhaps another emerging, what’s next for The Conqueror?

Nikki Cross gets her opportunity at Bayley's SmackDown Women's Championship
Having previously achieved championship gold in the Women’s Tag Team division, can
Nikki Cross take another giant leap and seize her first singles title in WWE? That question will be answered tonight when Cross challenges
Bayley for the SmackDown Women’s Championship.
The blue brand’s Twisted Sister earned the opportunity by virtue of
winning a Six-Pack Challenge two weeks ago on SmackDown, and now she gets her chance. With a Women’s Tag Team Title reign on her resume, Cross has already demonstrated championship potential.
Bayley revealed a new, edgier side last month before
knocking off Charlotte Flair to win back the title, and the former hugger appears to be on top of her game and won’t be toppled easily.
Will Bayley continue her reign, or will Cross stake her claim atop the SmackDown Women’s division? Tune in to SmackDown, live at 8/7 C on FOX tonight to find out!
Looks like tonight's show is gonna be a complete crapshoot. Could be shit, could be good. Who knows!
