Tonight, on the final SmackDown before WrestleMania 34, Charlotte Flair faces off against Natalya in a rematch from two weeks ago.
Read WWE.com‘s preview of tonight’s show below:
SmackDown Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair has a tall task ahead of her this Sunday at WrestleMania in the form of the undefeated Asuka, but she also has to worry about two of her fiercest rivals on Team Blue: Natalya and Carmella.
Natalya is frustrated that she will not be challenging for Charlotte’s title in New Orleans, while Carmella is always waiting in the wings with her Money in the Bank contract, ready to try and steal The Queen’s championship. These three women crossed paths two weeks ago, when Carmella’s meddling led to Natalya defeating Flair in a one-on-one battle. Charlotte is getting her chance at payback this week; will she vanquish the third-generation Superstar and once again turn her focus to Asuka?
WWE’s Mixed Match Challenge tournament will also come to an end tonight via Facebook Watch as the team of Bobby Roode and Charlotte Flair battle the team of The Miz & Asuka tonight for $100,000 for their respective charities:
After months of rigorous team selections, hilarious videos, tournament-altering fan interaction and outrageous matchups, it all comes down to this.
Tonight on Facebook Watch, Intercontinental Champion The Miz & Asuka will represent Raw against SmackDown LIVE’s Bobby Roode & SmackDown Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair in the WWE Mixed Match Challenge Finals. The winning team will not only earn $100,000 for their partner charity, but they will also gain valuable momentum on The Road to WrestleMania.
Who defeated Braun Strowman & Alexa Bliss? Big E & Carmella? Finn Bálor & Sasha Banks? In a word, “Awe-ska!” Like him or hate him, The Miz is a Superstar who knows how to win. 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 A-Lister stands as a six-time Tag Team Champion. Translation: He can indeed play well with others and do so at the top of his game. And he has been playing very well with the undefeated Asuka, an absolute force to be reckoned with who is coincidently gearing up to challenge Charlotte for the SmackDown Women’s Title this Sunday at The Showcase of the Immortals. Put simply, Miz’s extensive and title-laden experience, mixed with The Empress of Tomorrow’s desire to leave her WrestleMania opponent with a loss five days before their title match, will make “Team Awe-ska” a very difficult team to beat.
Two dominant tandems have made it to the end of WWE MMC, but only one will emerge victorious and bring $100,000 to their charity partners. Will it be “The Robe Warriors,” battling for their charity partner, Girl Up? Or will it be “Team Awe-ska,” competing for their charity, Rescue Dogs Rock?
