Also announced for the show, Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins of the Street Profits will battle two members of the MFTs — either Talla Tonga, JC Matteo, or Tonga Loa.
WWE confirmed the additions on social media, writing that Charlotte Flair vs. Piper Niven and Street Profits vs. MFT will both take place Friday night.
Updated lineup for August 22 WWE SmackDown:
