Tonight on SmackDown Live, The Riott Squad’s Ruby Riott takes on Naomi.
Read WWE.com‘s preview of tonight’s show below:
Last week, Ruby Riott pinned Becky Lynch in Six-Woman Tag Team action, getting a title opportunity at WWE Fastlane in the process. That didn’t stop the Riott Squad leader from calling out one of the champion’s closest allies, Naomi, promising to knock her lights out.
Naomi is more than ready to take on Riott in singles competition, though she’ll have to be weary of Liv Morgan and Sarah Logan lurking at ringside. Will Riott make good on her promise, or will Naomi make her feel the glow?
After SmackDown, head to Facebook Watch for the start of Round 2 of WWE’s Mixed Match Challenge that will see the team of Sasha Banks and Finn Balor take on the team of Asuka and The Miz:
The explosive Second Round of WWE Mixed Match Challenge kicks off tonight on Facebook Watch at 10 ET/7 PT, as the charismatic combination of Finn Bálor & Sasha Banks goes head-to-head with Intercontinental Champion The Miz & the undefeated Asuka.
WWE’s Rockstar Shinsuke Nakamura and “friend of cats” Natalya want to talk to you tonight in the comments section during WWE Mixed Match Challenge.
To get to this point, Team “Boss Club” overcame Shinsuke Nakamura & Natalya in the First Round of the groundbreaking tournament. Whether competing in the historic WWE Iron Man Match against Bayley at NXT TakeOver, inside Hell in a Cell against Charlotte Flair or in the first-ever Women’s Elimination Chamber, the innovative Boss is the very definition of a trailblazer. And Bálor, with the distinction of being the first-ever Universal Champion and the longest-reigning NXT Champion in history, is definitely cut from the same cloth as the four-time Raw Women’s Champion. Add to the mix their larger-than-life personas, and you have a fierce tandem that could throw the preverbal monkey wrench into “Team Awe-ska’s” plans to rise to WWE MMC glory.
In their First Round showdown, Miz & Asuka overcame Big E & Carmella. In addition to being a former WWE Champion, an eight-time Intercontinental Champion, a two-time United States Champion and a Money in the Bank Ladder Match winner, The Miz is a six-time Tag Team Champion who is capable of playing well with others. At his side is the unbeaten Empress of Tomorrow, whose incredible run of success includes an unprecedented 523 days as NXT Women’s Champion, a title she vacated before welcoming the new challenge of joining the Raw roster. The dynamic competitor has since taken WWE by storm, winning the first-ever Women’s Royal Rumble Match to punch her ticket to WrestleMania 34. Put simply, Miz’s extensive and title-laden experience, mixed with the unbelievable skill of the unbeaten Asuka, will be a very difficult team to conquer.
