WWE is always planning for the next week, and that is certainly true for SmackDown. The company is rounding the corner toward Survivor Series, and you never know what they will book next.
WWE SmackDown went down at the SAP Center in San Jose, California on October 17. The October 24 episode of WWE SmackDown will be held at Mullett Arena in Tempe, Arizona, and fans are already in for a good show.
Tiffany Stratton and Kiana James had a backstage segment this week on SmackDown, and it resulted in booking a match for next week. Stratton is going to prove it’s still Tiffy Time after her loss at Crown Jewel to Stephanie Vaquer.
Fraxiom and DIY will also face each other in a tag team match next week. That was sparked in a little backstage segment in the locker room, where Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa threw a lot of shade at Axiom and Nathan Frazer.
We will keep an eye out for more matches that WWE adds to SmackDown next week. Keep checking back with Ringside News for more updates.
