In addition to all of that, WWE Champion AJ Styles will have a big segment ahead of the PPV event. Here are the latest details on the matches planned for Tuesday night’s show from Cincinnati, Ohio.
A report from Sportskeeda’s Johnny Payne indicates that the brand new stable on SmackDown called The Riot Squad will have another six-woman tag match tonight.

Shinsuke Nakamura is scheduled for a one-on-one contest against Kevin Owens. That match arrives ahead of one of the tag team matches scheduled for Sunday’s event where Nakamura teams with Randy Orton against Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn. Meanwhile, in a big tag match, fans will see the team of Rusev and Aiden English looking for more momentum ahead of Sunday’s Fatal 4-Way tag team title match.
