The European invasion of WWE continues next week. After taking over Dublin, Ireland, WWE SmackDown<\/a> goes to Lyon, France, days before WWE Clash in Paris<\/a>. Next week’s SmackDown will pull no punches, though. As announced before the main event, three matches will have title implications.<\/p>\n

First, Sami Zayn will challenge Solo Sikoa for the United States Championship. Zayn recently transferred to the Blue brand<\/a> to win a title he has never held, and he finally gets his shot this Friday night.<\/p>\n

The Street Profits and Melo Don’t Miz won their respective matches in Dublin to book their ticket to Lyon, France. The match between these two teams will undoubtedly be great. However, it has bigger prizes for those who win, specifically, a WWE Tag Team Title Match against The Wyatt Sicks.<\/p>\n

Finally, after picking up a win over one-half of the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions, Piper Niven and Alba Fyre challenge for the championship against Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss. Both teams have been trading wins over the past few weeks in singles action. But this Friday night in France, the real battle begins.<\/p>\n

WWE SmackDown in Lyon, France, will be an amazing one, so don’t you dare miss it!<\/p>\n
