Nikki Cross vs. Carmella Set For WWE SmackDown

Women's bout added to tonight's WWE SmackDown.

WWE announced that Nikki Cross will take on Carmella tonight on SmackDown Live. Cross picked up a big victory over Dana Brooke on last night's Raw in a Beat The Clock Challenge, which allowed her to pick the stipulation for the SmackDown Women's Title match between Bayley and Alexa Bliss at Extreme Rules on Sunday. Cross inserted herself into the match, teaming with Bliss to make it a 2-on-1 handicap match.

Just five days before Nikki Cross joins Alexa Bliss for a 2-on-1 Handicap Match against Bayley at WWE Extreme Rules in The Twisted Sister's first-ever SmackDown Women?s Title Match, she will face Carmella one-on-one tonight on SmackDown LIVE. Find out how the up-and-coming Superstar fares against the explosive former SmackDown Women's Champion at 8/7C on USA Network.

Also set for tonight's SmackDown is Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Finn Balor, Dolph Ziggler vs. Kevin Owens, and Aleister Black's opponent for Extreme Rules will be revealed.

Fightful will have live coverage of SmackDown beginning at 8 p.m. ET.
