Shinsuke Nakamura vs Ludwig Kaiser
The Intercontinental Championship scene is heating up as Nakamura wants to take the title from Gunther. Nakamura will once again have to go through Gunther’s protege if he is to continue putting his name in contention for a title match, failure to win from Kaiser might earn him another few chops.
Who Could Maxxine Dupri Be?
We speculated earlier this week on potential candidates to play the role of Maxxine Dupri. There is no obvious choice right now which only adds to the excitement around one of SmackDown’s newest and most refreshing acts.
The Beast is Here
Update: This segment is no longer advertised following the news of Vince McMahon’s retirement.
With Roman Reigns appearing sporadically these days it is up to Brock Lesnar to continue the hype for their rematch at SummerSlam. On Raw, Lesnar laid waste to the Alpha Academy so it is likely he will wreck some more folks tonight because what else is Lesnar going to do if not cause chaos.
That is the WWE SmackDown card for this week. What do you think of the show?
