Four matches have been confirmed for this week's episodes of WWE television. Matches have been confirmed for Monday Night Raw, SmackDown Live, 205 Live, and NXT UK. Superstars such as Dolph Ziggler, Braun Strowman, Ricochet, Bobby Lashley, The Miz, Cesaro, Xavier Woods, Jinny, Kae Lee Ray, the Lucha Houseparty, the Singh Brothers, Rhea Ripley, and Nina Samuels will be in action.

On NXT UK, there will be a huge battle royal involving all of NXT UK's women's division to determine who is the number one contender to Toni Storm's NXT UK Women's Championship. There will be a tag team match involving two of 205 Live's premier tag teams on 205 Live. There will be a singles match on SmackDown Live and a fatal five-way match to determine the number one contender for Samoa Joe's United States Championship. More matches for Monday Night Raw, SmackDown Live, NXT, NXT UK, and 205 Live will likely be confirmed for the show.


#4 NXT UK Women's Championship Number One Contender's Battle Royal: Candy Floss vs Isla Dawn vs Jazzy Gabert vs Jinny vs Kay Lee Ray vs Killer Kelly vs Nina Samuels vs Piper Niven vs Rhea Ripley vs Xia Brookside (NXT UK)

These ten women will all be competing in a battle royal to determine who will be Toni Storm's next challenger. Toni Storm has been a dominant champion who has already defeated Rhea Ripley, Jinny, and Nina Samuels to retain the NXT UK Women's Championship. She will hope to add another name to that list of women that she has defeated.

Superstars that have not yet received much of an opportunity to compete on NXT UK like Killer Kelly and Candy Floss will likely be hungry to have a great performance in this match. Other women like Jazzy Gabert, Piper Niven, Kay Lee Ray, and Xia Brookside have racked up a few victories on NXT UK but are yet to compete for the NXT UK Women's Championship.

Competeters such as Isla Dawn, inaugural NXT UK champion Rhea Ripley, Jinny, and Nina Samuels will have an opportunity to win the NXT UK Women's Championship and we will soon find out as to who will have the next chance to win the NXT UK Women's Championship.

#3: The Lucha House Party (Gran Metalik & Lince Dorado) (with Kalisto) vs The Singh Brothers (205 Live)

The Lucha House Party and the Singh Brothers are two of the best tag teams in 205 Live.
The Lucha House Party and the Singh Brothers are two of the best tag teams in 205 Live.

The Singh Brothers have been involved in a rivalry with the Lucha House Party ever since Jinder Mahal's former managers first arrived in 205 Live. The Lucha House Party defeated the Singh Brothers in their first match on 205 Live since the brand's debut in 2016.

The Singh Brothers have had an uneven win/loss record as they took a loss to the team of Humberto Carrillo and Gentleman Jack Gallagher but have defeated multiple teams of local competitors. This rivalry will finally be continued and has lasted for several months. One has to wonder if the Lucha House Party is going to get the victory and put this rivalry to an end or if the Singh Brothers will get the win to tie things up.

#2 Dolph Ziggler vs Xavier Woods (SmackDown Live)

Dolph Ziggler will have his first singles match on SmackDown Live in over a year.
Dolph Ziggler will have his first singles match on SmackDown Live in over a year.

Dolph Ziggler is set to face off with Kofi Kingston for the WWE Championship in a steel cage match at Stomping Grounds. The Showoff will be keen to warmup for the big clash with an encounter against Xavier Woods before moving on to winning the WWE Championship.

Xavier Woods is an excellent wrestler who has taken superstars like AJ Styles, Cesaro, and Rusev to the limit and will be looking to extract revenge on Dolph Ziggler for his numerous attacks on Woods during Raw and at WWE Super Showdown.

However, Dolph Ziggler is looking to get revenge on Xavier Woods after he cost him the WWE Championship by kicking him from outside as Kofi Kingston made most use of the advantage and retained the Championship.

It is still unknown if members of the New Day and possibly Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn will get involved in this match.

#1 Number One Contenders United States Championship Fatal-Five Way Match: Bobby Lashley vs. Braun Strowman vs. Cesaro vs. Ricochet vs. The Miz (Raw)

Who will face Samoa Joe for the United States Championship at Stomping Grounds?

Last week on Monday Night Raw, Braun Strowman, The Miz, Ricochet, Cesaro, and Bobby Lashley all confronted and expressed interest in challenging Samoa Joe for the United States Championship.

There was then a six-man tag team match that also involved United States Champion Samoa Joe that ended with The Miz, Ricochet, and Braun Strowman defeating Samoa Joe, Cesaro, and Bobby Lashley.

Out of the five men in this match, three of them have previously held the United States Championship. The Miz, Cesaro, and Bobby Lashley are already former United States Champions.

Braun Strowman and Ricochet are yet to win a singles title on the WWE main roster and will be keen to get their hands on the Championship when they square off against Samoa Joe at Stomping Grounds for the United States Championship.
