WWE has altered the lineup for Friday’s SmackDown, replacing a scheduled championship defense with a number one contender’s match.
The promotion announced on Friday that Jordynne Grace will face Tiffany Stratton to determine the next challenger for the Women’s United States Championship.
This removes the previously advertised title match between Stratton and champion Giulia from the broadcast.
The promotion also added a tag team encounter to the show. Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss will wrestle Bayley and Lyra Valkyria. All four competitors participate in the Women’s Tag Team Championship fatal four-way at WrestleMania 42 this weekend.
Tonight’s episode originates from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
