Here we discuss four things WWE made clear on SmackDown Live this week.
#4 Fire & Desire will challenge the Women's Tag Team Champions
With less than two weeks left for Clash of Champions, the Women's Tag Team Champions still don't have challengers. Except for the US Title and the Women's Tag Team Titles, all the title matches are set for the show. Since every title will be on the line at Clash of Champions, the Women's Tag Team Titles will be defended as well.
Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross fought the team of Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville on SmackDown Live this week. It was a non-title match but Deville & Rose defeated the current champions.
The IIconics have not been on TV after losing their rematch at SummerSlam, while the Kabuki Warriors are not in the title picture. After securing a victory over the Champions, Rose & Deville are likely to get a title shot at Clash of Champions.
