WWE has officially confirmed three matches for Smackdown this week. The first match confirmed was Drew Gulak vs King Corbin in a Money in the Bank qualifier. Here is what WWE wrote about the match on their website:
Drew Gulak meets King Corbin in a Money in the Bank Qualifying Match
Daniel Bryan has already punched his ticket for the Men’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match. Will his training partner join him? Drew Gulak will try to do exactly that when he takes on King Corbin in a Money in the Bank Qualifying Match this Friday night.
The Philadelphia Stretcher has looked like a new man since joining forces with Bryan earlier this year. But Corbin — a former Money in the Bank Ladder Match winner — figures to be a tough hurdle to overcome, as he has recently demonstrated a vicious mean with several savage attacks on Elias.

WWE has also confirmed another Money in the Bank qualifier for Smackdown. It will be Lacey Evans vs Sasha Banks. Here is what WWE wrote on their website about the match:
Lacey Evans squares off with Sasha Banks for a spot in the Money in the Bank Ladder Match
After warring for weeks, Lacey Evans and Sasha Banks will square off with much more on the line than simply settling their score. The Lady of WWE goes one-on-one with The Legit Boss this Friday night with a spot in the Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match up for grabs.
Evans snuffed out potential interference from SmackDown Women’s Champion Bayley during Banks’ match with Tamina last week. As a result, Tamina claimed victory to earn a title opportunity against the self-proclaimed role model.
Now, can The Sassy Southern Belle knock off Banks to qualify for her first Money in the Bank Ladder Match? Or will The Legit Boss come one step closer to claiming the contract?
The third match that was confirmed will be for the WWE Women’s Tag Team Titles. It will be Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross vs Carmella and Dana Brooke. Here is what WWE wrote:
Alexa Bliss & Nikki Cross defend their titles against Carmella & Dana Brooke
When Alexa Bliss & Nikki Cross returned the Women’s Tag Team Titles to SmackDown, it was only a matter of time until other blue brand Superstars came calling for their opportunity.
Carmella & Dana Brooke were the first two to step up and challenge the only two-time holders of the titles. Bliss & Cross battled back the first test in a rematch with The Kabuki Warriors after winning back the championships at WrestleMania.
Can Carmella & Dana Brooke remain on the same page, or will their own individual aspirations submarine their chances against Bliss & Cross?
