Follow Us
Things really got shaken up on WWE Draft 2020. This week’s WWE SmackDown will be the first event to reflect all the big changes. Keeping that in mind, WWE announced another title match for this week.
As we all know, SmackDown’s Tribal Chief, Roman Reigns, will defend his Universal Championship against Braun Strowman. The match is the main event this week.
However, WWE announced another title defense earlier today. The newly drafted and “crowned” SmackDown Tag Team champions, The Street Profits, will face Robert Roode and Dolph Ziggler and defend their title. This match is truly the WWE Draft’s aftermath because everyone in the match is new to the Blue Brand.
