SmackDown is going to be lit next week.
On tonight's episode of SmackDown Live, WWE announced that The Bar will challenge The Usos to a rap battle for next week's episode. The battle was set up on tonight's episode after Jey Uso pinned Cesaro in a triple threat bout that also featured Xavier Woods.
The Bar issued the challenge, which was accepted by The Usos. New Day were named as the hosts. The Usos previously competed in a rap battle against the New Day on the July 4, 2017 episode of SmackDown. You can watch that segment here.
Also announced for next week is a WrestleMania 34 rematch between Asuka and Charlotte Flair. The two ladies squared off this past April at WrestleMania with Charlotte putting her SmackDown Women's Title on the line against Asuka's undefeated streak. Charlotte walked away with the victory on that night.
