WWE SmackDown tonight features Final MITB Qualification Matches.
Just before the Money in the Bank PLE, WWE will have its final qualification matches on the October 2 edition of SmackDown. The weekly Friday night event will air live from the Ball Arena in Denver, Colorado.
Top wrestlers including Cody Rhodes, Kevin Owens, Tiffany Stratton, Candice LeRae and Trick Williams are listed as featured superstars for the show.
Even though there are no title matches scheduled on the night, fans can witness Giulia and Blake Monroe going against each other following their recent heated brawl.
Giulia lost her chance in the MITB event following her defeat in last week’s SmackDown edition, but she will look to take out her frustration on Monroe, who had been nagging the Glorious Warrior.
On the other hand, the final spot for the Money in the Bank PLE is up for grabs in both divisions. In the men’s division, Cody Rhodes will face Kevin Owens and Johnny Gargano in the last qualifying game.
On the women’s side, Tiffany Stratton will look to return to the top but will have to overcome the upcoming challengers in Tatum Paxley and Candice LeRae. With the winner earning a place at Money in the Bank in New Orleans, both qualifying games hold utmost importance in the competition on tonight’s WWE SmackDown.
