On the Gauntlet Match to determine AJ Styles‘ Extreme Rules opponent:

WWE Champion AJ Styles defeated Shinsuke Nakamura in a Last Man Standing Match at WWE Money in the Bank on Sunday, putting an end to one of his most grueling rivalries.

There won’t be any downtime for the champion, though, as he’ll have to be ready for his next challenger at WWE Extreme Rules. His opponent will be decided in a Gauntlet Match tonight on SmackDown LIVE.

Daniel Bryan, Big E, Samoa Joe, The Miz and Rusev will take part in what is sure to be an action-packed battle. Who will emerge as the next challenger for The Phenomenal One?

On SAnitY’s Smackdown Live debut against The Usos:

For weeks, the impending arrival of SAnitY has been hanging over SmackDown LIVE. No one knew what the chaotic crew of Eric Young, Alexander Wolfe and the monstrous Killian Dain had in store for Team Blue after joining during the Superstar Shake-up, but the wait is over, as they will be making their debut tonight.

SAnitY isn’t wasting any time, either, as they’ll be taking on The Usos in their first match on SmackDown LIVE. Will The Usos put the newcomers in their place, or will chaos reign in SAnitY’s arrival?
