Smackdown this upcoming week will be taking place in Manchester, New Hampshire. This will be the go-home show for WWE Extreme Rules.
WWE has confirmed two new matches for the episode.
The first match that was announced was Shinsuke Nakamura vs Finn Balor. Here is what WWE posted on their website:
Finn Bálor and Shinsuke Nakamura battle on the blue brand this Tuesday night
Shinsuke Nakamura eyed-up Intercontinental Champion Finn Bálor and, seemingly, his title two weeks ago on SmackDown LIVE. Nakamura will now get up-close-and-personal with Bálor when the two face-off this Tuesday night.
Can The King of Strong Style topple The Extraordinary Man and cause a major ripple effect on the Intercontinental Championship picture?
The second match that was announced was Dolph Ziggler vs Kevin Owens. Here is what WWE posted:
Kevin Owens and Dolph Ziggler’s shortly tenured partnership implodes this Tuesday night
Against their wishes, Kevin Owens and Dolph Ziggler were paired together as a tag team last Tuesday night by Shane McMahon … and, well, it didn’t turn out great.
Though they were given a chance to earn their way into the SmackDown Tag Team Title Match at Extreme Rules by defeating Heavy Machinery, KO and The Showoff could not get on the same page. By match’s end, Owens and Ziggler were trading fists with one another as opposed to Otis & Tucker. SmackDown LIVE went off the air with KO dropping The Showoff with a Stunner, and in the aftermath of that, the two will collide in one-on-one competition this Tuesday night.
