During Friday’s WWE SmackDown, it was announced that Women’s World Champion Naomi will address not being medically cleared to compete on last week’s episode of Raw.
Naomi was scheduled to defend the Women’s World Championship against IYO SKY on last week’s Raw but then it was announced later in the day she was not cleared. WWE instead went with IYO SKY facing Roxanne Perez. The Kabuki Warriors (Askua and Kairi Sane) tried to assist SKY with a win, but it backfired, causing Perez to roll up SKY for the win.
In addition, just one match at the time of this report has been announced for Monday’s Raw, which will see Penta square-off against New Day’s Xavier Woods.
Monday’s show will take place from the Xfinity Mobile Arena (formerly Wells Fargo Center) in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Next Friday’s (8/22) episode of WWE SmackDown is heading overseas, taking place from the 3Arena in Dublin, Ireland. The show will air live on Netflix for international fans and on tape delay in the United States on the USA Network.
Next week’s show, at the time of this writing will feature the following:
-Motor City Machine Guns (Alex Shelley and Chris Sain) vs. Melo Don’t Miz (Carmelo Hayes and The Miz)
-Aleister Black vs. R-Truth
-John Cena to appear
