6 Matches that have been announced for WWE Television this week

Matches have been announced for SmackDown Live, 205 Live, the Mixed Match Challenge, and NXT UK. The likes of Rusev, Mike Kanellis, Mustafa Ali, Hideo Itami, Tyler Bate, Finn Balor, The Miz, Asuka, & Bayley will be in action this week. This week we will see WWE's first Falls Count Anywhere Match in a while.

#6: Tyler Bate vs Wolfgang

These two have faced off in the past.

During the first-ever United Kingdom Championship tournament, Tyler Bate defeated Wolfgang in the semifinals via pinfall with the Tyler Driver '97 before moving on to the finals where he defeated Pete Dunne to become the inaugural United Kingdom Champion. Pete Dunne then teamed with Wolfgang later in the year against Moustache Mountain in the main event of an episode of NXT in August.

Wolfgang was able to get his team the win by pinning Tyler Bate with his finishing move which is known as the Howling (which is basically just a Diving Swanton Bomb). If you have been keeping track, this means that each man has one pinfall victory over the other (they are 1-1).

These two superstars will face off on NXT UK to gain momentum and possibly get a future opportunity to win the United Kingdom Championship from the dominant champion Pete Dunne. While Tyler Bate is currently focused on the tag team division of NXT UK, it is definitely possible for him to gain a United Kingdom Championship shot against Pete Dunne in the future. Wolfgang also impressed when he last faced off with Pete Dunne and can certainly do so again.

#5 Lince Dorado vs Mike Kanellis (w/ Maria Kanellis) (205 Live)

Lince Dorado has a shot at retribution.

2 weeks ago on 205 Live, Mike Kanellis interrupted Lince Dorado's scheduled match against Lio Rush and attacked him with a new finishing move known as the Rolling Cutter. Mike Kanellis will make his 205 Live debut when he faces off with Lince Dorado this Wednesday night.

Lince Dorado will have the opportunity to finally get revenge on Mike Kanellis while Mike Kanellis will have a chance to gain his first singles victory of the year.

#4 Falls Count Anywhere Match: Hideo Itami vs Mustafa Ali (205 Live)

This rivalry will come to an end on 205 Live.

Hideo Itami defeated Mustafa Ali several months ago in July and sidelined him with a storyline injury. Mustafa Ali was sidelined for a month before making his return to 205 Live. Mustafa Ali eventually got a rematch with Hideo Itami.

That match ended in a double count-out when Mustafa Ali hit Hideo Itami with a 450 Splash on the apron. These two will finally be able to end this long rivalry when Hideo Itami faces Mustafa Ali in a Falls Count Anywhere Match (which will presumably be the main event of 205 Live).

The two have both cut promos and posted videos of them training in preparation for this potential match of the year candidate. The winner of this match can easily challenge Cruiserweight Champion Buddy Murphy for the Cruiserweight Championship in the near future.

#3 Bayley & Finn Balor (Team BNB) vs Natalya & Bobby Roode (Team Pawz) (Mixed Match Challenge Season 2)

Bobby Roode & Natalya will hope to finally get a win.

Finn Balor & Bayley are currently 1-1, they defeated Alicia Fox & Jinder Mahal but lost to Braun Strowman & Ember Moon, while Bobby Roode & Natalya are currently 0-2, they lost to both Braun Strowman & Ember Moon and Bobby Lashley & Mickie James in the second season of the Mixed Match Challenge.

Finn Balor & Bayley will hope to regain some momentum after suffering their first-ever loss as a team to Braun Strowman & Ember Moon while Natalya & Bobby Roode will hope to remain in the running after not one but two losses.

#2 Asuka & The Miz (Team Aweska) vs Naomi & Jimmy Uso (Day One Glow) (Mixed Match Challenge Season 2)

Will Asuka & The Miz be able to continue their undefeated streak as a team?

Asuka & The Miz are currently 2-0 in the second season of the Mixed Match Challenge, Asuka & The Miz have defeated both Rusev & Lana and R-Truth & Carmella so far. Naomi & Jimmy Uso are 1-1 in the second season of the tournament, Jimmy Uso & Naomi defeated Rusev & Lana but lost to AJ Styles & Charlotte Flair.

Asuka & The Miz will hope to continue their dominance while Jimmy Uso & Naomi will hope to tip the scale to their advantage.

#1 Aiden English vs Rusev w/ Lana (SmackDown Live)

This rivalry has been brewing for a while.

On the September 18, 2018, edition of SmackDown Live, a beloved tag team broke up after a year-long friendship. Aiden English attacked Rusev after he accidentally cost Rusev his United States Championship match against Shinsuke Nakamura. Since then, Aiden English has hinted at Lana having feelings for Aiden English.

However, it was then revealed that this was all a ruse. He then asked Lana if he would like to start a relationship which resulted in Rusev & Lana chasing him out of the ring. After being humiliated and exposed by Rusev & Lana, Aiden English cost him his World Cup Qualifying match against the Miz on last week's episode of SmackDown Live.

Rusev will finally have an opportunity to get revenge against Aiden English on SmackDown Live and will hope to regain some momentum after suffering back to back losses. Aiden English will hope to gain some much-needed momentum as a singles star.
