Smackdown is live tonight, 8/7 central USA Network from Wells Fargo Center here in Philadelphia, Penssylvania.

We've got two huge matches to announce for SmackDown. First, Braun Strowman one-on-one with Solo Sikoa, and Jimmy Uso gets a crack at Drew McIntyre, they will go one-on-one. In addition, of course, we have the Philadelphia Street Fight for the Women's United States Championship. Chelsea Green defends against Michin.
