On Shinsuke Nakamura clashing with Kevin Owens:
The fate of Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn will be decided during a tag team battle against Randy Orton and Shinsuke Nakamura at WWE Clash of Champions, as the troublesome duo’s careers in all of WWE will be on the line. But before the huge showdown in Boston, KO will have to step inside the squared circle with The King of Strong Style on this Tuesday’s edition of SmackDown LIVE, with Zayn and Orton in their partner’s respective corners.
After Shane McMahon and Daniel Bryan forced Owens to be handcuffed to the ring rope to prevent him from interfering in Orton and Zayn’s match this past Tuesday, KO used bolt cutters to escape and subsequently unleash a vicious attack on The Viper, with a little help from his best friend. The assault was thwarted thanks to the Nakamura, who burst onto the scene and clobbered KO and Zayn with thunderous Kinshasa knee strikes.

On AJ Styles and Jinder Mahal coming face-to-face:
WWE Champion AJ Styles and Jinder Mahal are on a collision course set for WWE Clash of Champions. However, the bitter rivals will come face to face one last time before their battle in Boston tonight on SmackDown LIVE.
Mahal has been in a rage since his WWE Title reign came to an end in Manchester, England last month at the hands of The Phenomenal One. The Modern Day Maharaja unleashed his fury on Styles last week, blindsiding the champion before he was set to take on Mahal’s associates, The Singh Brothers, in a Handicap Match. Despite the attack, Samir & Sunil were no match for the victorious Styles, who even booted Mahal in the face when he tried to interfere.
Will these two Superstars be able to meet face to face without coming to blows? What will happen as this combustible rivalry nears its boiling point? Find out tonight on SmackDown LIVE at 8/7 C on USA Network!
