#4 Stipulation match announced for WWE SmackDown's King Corbin and Shinsuke Nakamura

King Corbin and Shinsuke Nakamura's WWE feud (featuring Rick Boogs) has been an entertaining part of SmackDown lately. This week, Corbin and Nakamura fought in another singles match, which ended with the latter emerging as the winner.

After the match, King Corbin once again failed in his efforts to recapture his crown. Frustrated with the duo of Boogs and Nakamura, the self-proclaimed king approached Sonya Deville and Adam Pearce to seek a resolution. Pearce announced a "Battle for the Crown" match between Nakamura and Corbin for next week's episode, as both of them hold two victories over each other at the moment.

Who do you think should walk out as the rightful owner of the crown several days from now?


#3 Commander Azeez's WWE SmackDown match revealed

Commander Azeez has served as a useful bodyguard for Apollo Crews in WWE, and now, he is set to fight alongside the Intercontinental Champion on SmackDown.

This week, Kevin Owens and Big E defeated Crews and Sami Zayn in tag team action. After the match, Crews claimed that Owens and Big E didn't defeat him, as only Zayn was successfully pinned.

In the next episode, Kevin Owens and Big E will fight Apollo Crews and Commander Azeez in a tag team match. While the 6ft 9in tall bodyguard has previously wrestled under different names like Dabba-Kato and Babatunde, he will be making his in-ring debut as Commander Azeez this time around.

Meanwhile, it's good to see that Big E is back in the Intercontinental title picture after his feud with Aleister Black was recently scrapped.
