Charlotte Flair and Asuka will renew a new and old rivalry on tonight’s edition of Friday Night SmackDown.
WWE announced that the two superstars will battle it out on tonight’s show. This comes just days removed from their triple threat WWE Women’s Championship match at SummerSlam. The match also featured Bianca Belair, who would steal the win at SummerSlam.
However, IYO SKY would make her way down to the ring, cashing in her Money In The Bank briefcase to steal the title.
Less than a week after losing the WWE Women’s Title in a Triple Threat Match at SummerSlam, Asuka will reignite her rivalry with “The Queen” Charlotte Flair as the two face off in singles action.
Flair and Bianca Belair challenged Asuka for her title in one of the four main events at SummerSlam, and despite Belair winning that match, IYO SKY cashed in mere moments later and quickly defeated The EST with a moonsault to become the new WWE Women’s Champion.
Now, Asuka and Flair square off in a match that SKY is sure to follow closely and will more than likely have championship implications.
Tune in to Friday Night SmackDown TONIGHT on FOX at 8/7 to see this matchup between two of the greatest Superstars in WWE!
