This week’s episode of Smackdown will be taking place at the Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. This will be the first episode after the WWE Draft.
WWE has confirmed a new Title match for the episode.
It will be Roman Reigns vs Shinsuke Nakamura for the Intercontinental Title. Here is what WWE wrote on their website about the match:
Roman Reigns ready to take the Intercontinental Title from Shinsuke Nakamura
Sami Zayn brought his bark to Twitter Thursday morning, and The Big Dog took notice.
After Shinsuke Nakamura fell to the third round of the WWE Draft, Zayn took exception and spouted off on social media about the disrespect for the champion.
Zayn’s tweet entered The Big Dog’s yard, and Reigns responded that he was ready to place the Intercontinental Championship back on his shoulder.
Can The King of Strong Style continue cashing the checks that Zayn’s mouth writes? Or will Reigns end Nakamura’s reign and begin his own championship run to kick off the new era of SmackDown?
Tune in for Friday Night SmackDown on FOX at 8/7 C to see the thrilling Intercontinental Championship Match.
