WWE SmackDown Preview
CM Punk vs. Sami Zayn
After getting screwed for his opportunity to win back the Undisputed WWE Championship, Sami Zayn finally has his chance in Mexico City.
Zayn has made his presence felt in the last three weeks, laying out reigning champion CM Punk, as well as Kevin Owens, Finn Balor and Gunther.
Chelsea Green vs. Nia Jax
For the first time since winning the Interim WWE Women’s Championship at SummerSlam, Chelsea Green will defend her title against Nia Jax.
It’s a tall task for Green, who is still dealing with a broken orbital bone and has to wear a facemask. She is expected to have Tiffany Stratton on her corner, while Lash Legend backs the number one contender.
The War Raiders vs. Damian Priest and R-Truth
After failing to recapture the WWE Tag Team Championship, former champions Damian Priest and R-Truth have set their sights on a different pair of titles.
The War Raiders are ready to defend their AAA World Tag Team Championship for the first time since Ola De Calor on August 30. It will be just their second title defense as they previously beat Los Americanos.
Rey Fenix vs. Ricky Saints
After a confrontation last week, Ricky Saints gets his shot at Rey Fenix’s AAA World Cruiserweight Championship. Saints is looking to gain some momentum after losing steam since making the main roster.
Fenix is one of the most consistent performers across WWE over the past three months. He has successfully defended his title eight times since winning it from Laredo Kid on the May 30 episode of AAA on Fox.
Paige vs. Nikki Bella
For the first time since October 20, 2015, Paige and Nikki Bella face each other in a singles match. Paige is looking to get revenge on Nikki for attacking her at SummerSlam.
This will be their ninth matchup ever, with Paige down 3-5.
