Stratton and Vaquer are set to face each other on Saturday at the PLE in a ‘Champion vs Champion’ match for the Women’s Crown Jewel title.
Sami Zayn’s US title open challenge continues

United States Champion Sami Zayn is set to continue his US title open challenge this week. Zayn last week defended the title against Aleister Black, who suffered defeat due to an interference from Damian Priest. Notably, Carmelo Hayes first came out to accept the challenge, but he was taken by his former tag partner, The Miz.
Damian Priest vs Aleister Black – Last Man Standing match
After weeks of confrontations and sneak attacks, Damian Priest and Aleister Black will once again collide, this time in a Last Man Standing match. Priest’s interference last week cost Black the United States title match against Sami Zayn.
Damian has also been involved in a ‘toxic masculinity’ storyline with Kit Wilson, who might have a role to play this Friday.
Wyatt Sicks (Joe Gacy & Dexter Lumis) (c) vs The Street Profits (Montez Ford & Angelo Dawkins) – WWE Tag Team title match

The Wyatt Sicks (Joe Gacy & Dexter Lumis) are also set to defend the WWE Tag Team titles against the Street Profits (Montez Ford & Angelo Dawkins). The Wyatt Sicks are trying to split the Street Profits and have been successful in causing visible tensions. Will they succeed? Tune into SmackDown next week to find out.
