United States title match set for next week’s WWE SmackDown

Rey Mysterio will defend the United States title on next week’s SmackDown.

Mysterio will deliver his promise he made to Santos Escobar last week when he defends the title against him on next week’s show. The two teamed together on Friday’s SmackDown, defeating The Street Profits in a tag team match.

After the match, Bobby Lashley confronted The Street Profits backstage, threatening to end his association with him. Lashley will appear on next week’s Grayson Waller Effect as a guest.

Also set for next week is a match between Bayley and Charlotte Flair. This comes after the finish of Friday’s WWE Women’s Championship match between champion IYO SKY and Asuka. Bayley helped put SKY’s foot on the rope in an effort to aid her. Flair saw this and attacked Bayley. Thanks to Bayley’s help, SKY then connected with a moonsault to retain the title.

Here is everything announced thus far for next week’s SmackDown:

• WWE United States title: Rey Mysterio defends against Santos Escobar
• Charlotte Flair vs. Bayley
• Grayson Waller Effect featuring Bobby Lashley
