Kevin Owens issued the challenge on last night’s episode of SmackDown, and we won’t have to wait long as his final match against Shane McMahon will take place on next week’s show.
To close out the final SmackDown Live on USA Network, Kevin Owens and Shane McMahon both took to the ring to discuss their recent legal matters. Owens offered a solution, and challenged Shane to a ladder match with both of their careers on the line. Shane accepted, but no date for the match was given as the broadcast came to a close. Fans speculated that it could go down at WWE Hell In A Cell or as soon as next Friday’s show, but WWE has since confirmed we’ll see the ‘Career vs. Career’ ladder match on Friday Night SmackDown.
Additionally, Charlotte Flair & Becky Lynch versus Sasha Banks & Bayley was added to next week’s show after Banks attacked Lynch at the conclusion of this week’s show. The following is the updated match card for next week’s show:
WWE Championship
Kofi Kingston (c) vs. Brock Lesnar
Charlotte Flair & Becky Lynch vs. Sasha Banks & Bayley
Career vs. Career (Ladder Match)
Kevin Owens vs. Shane McMahon
