Tonight’s episode of Smackdown will be taking place at the FedExForum in Memphis, Tennessee. This show will continue the build towards Summerslam.
WWE originally announced a 6-man tag team match for the episode. It was first announced that The O.C would be facing off against the New Day. WWE has now changed those plans.
It will now be Kofi Kingston vs AJ Styles. Here is what WWE wrote on their website:
