Zayn vs. Balor and Vega vs. Carmella are set for next Friday’s “Supersized” edition of SmackDown on FS1.
Raw’s tournament matches will begin on Monday night. Kofi Kingston vs. Jinder Mahal and Xavier Woods vs. Ricochet are the remaining first-round matches in King of the Ring. Doudrop vs. Natalya and Dana Brooke vs. Shayna Baszler are the Queen’s Crown matches.
A new match for Crown Jewel was confirmed last night as Edge challenged Seth Rollins to face him inside of Hell in a Cell.
