WWE SmackDown Preview: MITB Qualifying Matches, Title Match

Tonight’s WWE SmackDown is the can’t-miss final stop before tomorrow’s explosive Saturday Night’s Main Event, and the lineup is stacked with championship implications and crucial Money in the Bank qualifying action.

The briefcases for Money in the Bank hang in the balance as two blockbuster triple threat qualifying matches are set. In the women’s division, “The Queen” Charlotte Flair looks to secure her spot but faces formidable opposition from the cunning Zelina Vega and the recently SmackDown-drafted international sensation, Giulia.

On the men’s side, a similarly high-stakes qualifier will see the recently returned and intense Aleister Black battle the ever-popular LA Knight and the master of Strong Style, Shinsuke Nakamura.

The WWE Tag Team Championships will be defended as The Street Profits (Montez Ford & Angelo Dawkins) put their titles on the line against the dynamic duo of Fraxiom (Nathan Frazer & Axiom).
