With WWE’s Extreme Rules now in the books, the focus of the WWE Universe can shift SummerSlam from the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York on August 19th. We already saw some early plans for the event start coming together last night on RAW and now tonight, the blue brand will start its road with SmackDown Live from the Mohegan Sun Arena at Casey Plaza in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania.

After winning the United States Title at Extreme Rules in controversial fashion, we already know that Jeff Hardy has invoked his automatic rematch clause against Shinsuke Nakamura for tonight. Here’s a preview of what else to expect on 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 gets his rematch for the United States Title against Shinsuke Nakamura
• What is next for WWE Champion AJ Styles?
• Can Asuka bounce back from another loss to Carmella?
• With Kane sidelined, Daniel Bryan is now on his own

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:

• TJP is fully prepared this time around as he takes on Noam Dar
• Can Lio Rush keep momentum rolling when he goes one-on-one with Akira Tozawa?

This just doesn’t happen. Holding the @WWE Championship means being prepared ANY day for ANY match. #SDLive is still MY show. #Phenomenal https://t.co/mSm2H9zdiv
