John Cena and CM Punk to appear ahead of his title defense at Night of Champions
Undisputed WWE Champion John Cena will make an appearance on this week’s SmackDown, ahead of his title defense against CM Punk at Night of Champions. Last week, Cena delivered an iconic promo, reminiscent of Punk’s iconic pipebomb promo. It will be interesting to see how the segment on the go-home show unravels.
CM Punk will also appear on the show as confirmed by Michael Cole on the Night of Champions kickoff show.
Tiffany Stratton (c) vs Nia Jax – Last Woman Standing match for the WWE Women’s title
Women’s Champion Tiffany Stratton will put the title on the line against Nia Jax once again, this time in a last woman standing match. The feud between the two stars reignited when Jax attacked Stratton following her return.
However, the match was announced last week, following Jax’s beatdown of Stratton, where Naomi tried to capitalize and cash in the Money in the Bank contract. Jax stopped Naomi from cashing in and is now looking to capture the title again.
