WWE News: Preview Tonight’s SmackDown Live & 205 Live (8/28/18)

Following last night’s Monday Night RAW, tonight’s WWE SmackDown Live takes over the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, Ontario, Canada with some big matches previously announced.

As we heard over the weekend, a tournament will begin tonight to determine the next challengers for The New Day’s SmackDown Tag Titles at Hell In A Cell. The first match this evening will see Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson vs. the returning Colons vs. The Bar, where the winners will advance one step closer to their tag title opportunity. Plus, Carmella will get her rematch for the SmackDown Women’s Title when she faces Charlotte Flair. Here’s a look at what else is happening on the blue brand, live at 8PM EST on the USA Network:

• Carmella gets her rematch against Charlotte Flair for the SmackDown Women’s Title
• The New Day celebrate their fifth Tag Team Championship win
• Triple Threat tag action kicks off the #1 Contenders Tournament when Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson face The Bar and The Colons
• Will Daniel Bryan or Brie Bella get another chance to punch The Miz in the face?
• Where does the rivalry between Samoa Joe and WWE Champion AJ Styles go from here?

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:

• Will Drew Gulak get another shot at Cedric Alexander’s Cruiserweight Championship?

It’s not enough to attack from behind or to play games with a man’s family. A match at #HIAC isn’t about sneaking around or phone calls…it’s about proving over and again why I. Am. Phenomenal. #AndStill
