WWE has an updated card for WWE Night of Champions later this month following this week’s episode of Smackdown. Several matches were made official on Friday night’s episode for the PLE.
First of, Cody Rhodes will defend the Undisputed WWE Title against Gunther & Sami Zayn at the show. Rhodes retained the title against Gunther due to Zayn’s involvement, both as a referee and then when he attacked Gunther during the restarted bout. Gunther demanded a title match after and Rhodes asked Nick Aldis for a triple threat match, which was agreed to.
As noted, Jey Uso won a King of the Ring semifinal match against Je’Von Evans to earn his spot in the finals, where he will face Oba Femi. Meanwhile, the main event saw Liv Morgan defeat Charlotte Flair to move into the finals of Queen of the Ring, where she will face IYO SKY.
In addition, Ricky Saints as a US Championship match against Trick Williams by virtue of his win over Carmelo Hayes.
Finally, Jade Cargill challenged Tiffany Stratton to a Women’s United States Championship, declaring that the show needed her star power. Stratton agreed to the match.
