This week’s episode of Smackdown will be taking place in Manchester, England. The show will continue the build towards the Survivor Series PPV, which takes place in a few weeks.
WWE has confirmed a new match for the episode.
It will be Sasha Banks vs Nikki Cross taking place. Here is what WWE wrote about the match on their website:
Sasha Banks returns to face Nikki Cross on Friday Night SmackDown
Get back to work. The Boss is back and set for battle against Nikki Cross on Friday Night SmackDown.
Sasha Banks last competed in a Hell in a Cell showdown against Raw Women’s Champion Becky Lynch. Since that devastating defeat, The Boss has rallied behind her close friend Bayley by lending a hand to the SmackDown Women’s Champion in her victory over challenger Nikki Cross.
Now Cross seeks payback for The Boss’ involvement and the role she played in costing the former Women’s Tag Team Champion a chance to win the title.
Will The Boss make a splash in her return to the ring, or will Cross make Banks long for a return to the sidelines?
Tune in to Friday Night SmackDown on FOX at 8/7 C to find out.
