AJ Styles and Shinsuke Nakamura to battle for right to choose stipulation for Money in the Bank WWE Championship Match tonight on SmackDown LIVE
SmackDown LIVE Commissioner Shane McMahon announced on Monday that the rivalry between WWE Champion AJ Styles and Shinsuke Nakamura would continue at WWE Money in the Bank with another championship showdown. However, the two will also collide on tonight’s SmackDown LIVE in a match that has huge implications for their title bout in Chicago.

The winner of the showdown between The Phenomenal One and The King of Strong Style will get to choose the stipulation for WWE Money in the Bank. Since a No Disqualification Match could not contain the rage between the two Superstars, what type of match will the winner pick?

Andrade “Cien” Almas makes his debut tonight on SmackDown LIVE
Zelina Vega has told the WWE Universe that Andrade “Cien” Almas will show up when he’s good and ready. Well, the time has apparently come, as El Idolo will make his SmackDown LIVE debut tonight in London, England.

The Mexican grappler was a standout in NXT, where he captured the NXT Championship and took part in several thrilling contests. After joining Team Blue in the Superstar Shake-up, Almas is out to show that he can hang with SmackDown LIVE’s elite.

The New Day and The Bar clash in a Money in the Bank Qualifying Match tonight on SmackDown LIVE
The rivalry between The New Day and The Bar has intensified in recent weeks, but it will reach a new level tonight in London.

The teams will clash in a Men’s Money in the Bank Qualifying Match, and while it will be a tag team bout, only one member of the winning squad will move on to the Ladder Match for the career-changing Money in the Bank contract next month.

While their issues have mainly been centered around tag team supremacy (and pancakes), the stakes have arguably never been higher for these five Superstars. Which team will claim victory? Which Superstar will join Braun Strowman, Finn Bálor, The Miz, Rusev, Bobby Roode and Kevin Owens in Chicago?
