WWE News: Tonight’s SmackDown Live & 205 Live Previews (6/26/18)

Monday Night RAW is now in the books and the focus of the WWE Universe now switches tonight as SmackDown Live hits the Citizens Business Bank Arena in Ontario, California. Less than three weeks away from Extreme Rules, tonight’s show could have some big implications as United States Champion Jeff Hardy will defend his title against Shinsuke Nakamura, plus Rusev looks to keep the momentum going heading into his WWE Championship match against AJ Styles on July 15th. Here’s a preview of SmackDown Live, which hits the airwaves at 8PM EST on the USA Network. You can also keep up with the action at 8PM with Mitchell’s Live Report right here on The Chairshot:

• Jeff Hardy puts the US Title on the line against Shinsuke Nakamura
• MizTV welcomes SmackDown Tag Team Champions The Bludgeon Brothers
• After defeating Billie Kay last week, Becky Lynch faces Peyton Royce
• It’s Rusev Day vs. The New Day when Rusev meets Xavier Woods
• The cast of Netflix’s GLOW is in the house with a message for Naomi

As is the case every week, the WWE’s Cruiserweight Division will take over the WWE Network immediately following SmackDown for 205 Live. Here’s what you can expect when the high-flyers hit the air at 10PM EST:

• ‘The Man of the Hour’ Lio Rush makes his 205 Live debut
• Lucha House Party is in 6-Man action against The Brian Kendrick, Drew Gulak and Jack Gallagher

As General Manger of #SDLive, it’s my responsibility to make matches that you want to SEE … so, I’m making it official. @JeffHardyBrand will defend the #USTitle against @ShinsukeN THIS Tuesday.
