WWE has been building anticipation for its upcoming events, and despite the lack of a finalized card for the May 16 SmackDown until the hours leading up to the show, excitement is brewing for the May 23 episode. Last night’s show teased three major matchups that have fans eager for the action to unfold.
As part of the continuing qualifiers for the Money in the Bank PLE scheduled for June 7 in Los Angeles, the women’s division will see a thrilling showdown. Charlotte Flair will go head-to-head with Women’s United States Champion Zelina Vega, and newcomer Giulia will be vying for a coveted spot in the ladder match. Alexa Bliss secured her chance in the competition by triumphing over Chelsea Green and Michin in a high-stakes Triple Threat match.
On the men’s side, a formidable Triple Threat match will take place featuring Aleister Black, LA Knight, and Shinsuke Nakamura, with the winner joining Solo Sikoa in a ladder match set for the Intuit Dome.
Additionally, fans are treated to a rematch as Fraxiom faces the Street Profits for the WWE Tag Team titles, following a recent non-title victory by Nathan Frazer and Axiom against the champions.
These matchups promise an exciting evening for wrestling enthusiasts as WWE continues to build momentum. The thrilling blend of established stars and fresh faces adds to the excitement, making this a must-watch event for fans.
