WWE has adjusted tonight’s lineup for Friday Night SmackDown with IYO SKY being replaced in her match-up.
Earlier in the day, a non-title match was advertised between U.S. champion Giulia and Sky, but has since been changed with Rhea Ripley taking Sky’s spot in the match.
No reason was provided for the change in plans.
The match is among five advertised for tonight’s show in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, including two qualifying matches for the Elimination Chamber matches next weekend.
The show will air on Syfy in the U.S. due to USA Network’s coverage of the Winter Olympics.
