5 things you need to know before tonight's SmackDown Live

#2 A new challenger emerges

Since capturing the United States Championship, Shinsuke Nakamura's path with the gold has been an interesting one, with the Japanese star holding onto the title from former champions Jeff Hardy and Rusev, whom he defeated last week.

Tonight, the oft-overlooked Tye Dillinger will face off against WWE's Rockstar, albeit in non-title action.

Whilst the star-spangled strap isn't up for grabs, a win by the Canadian could push him into the title picture in the coming weeks.
