WWE makes last-minute announcement about the former O.C. member ahead of SmackDown tonight
WWE made a last-minute addition to the SmackDown card tonight. The former O.C. member Michin will be in action this Friday.
Mia 'Michin' Yim has been involved in a feud with Chelsea Green for weeks now. The tension between the two women has reached a boiling point. As announced by Vickie Guerrero and Nick Aldis, Michin and Green will settle their differences in a Dumpster Match on the October 4 episode of SmackDown.
Last week, Michin was ambushed by Piper Niven backstage during an interview with Byron Saxton. Niven clobbered the former O.C. member with a trash can. The two women will now face each other in a one-on-one match on SmackDown tonight. Yim is currently 1-0 over Niven from their previous meeting on the September 13 edition of the blue brand.
Elsewhere on the show, Solo Sikoa will make his return after missing last week's episode of SmackDown. At Bad Blood, he and Jacob Fatu will face Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes in a tag team match. This will mark The Original Tribal Chief's first match since losing his Undisputed WWE Championship to The American Nightmare at WrestleMania XL.
After a controversial ending to the Tornado tag team match last week, Bayley and Naomi will be on a collision course to earn a title shot against Nia Jax at Bad Blood.
The rivalry between Andrade and Carmelo Hayes continues as the two men will face each other once again. This will be their sixth encounter, with El Idolo leading the series by 3-2. Will Hayes be able to even the score this Friday? Only time will tell.
What happened to AJ Styles in WWE?
With Michin continuing to get booked on the blue brand, fans have been waiting to see AJ Styles back.
The Phenomenal One has been away from WWE programming since failing to dethrone Cody Rhodes at Clash at the Castle back in June. Though he has since wrestled on several live events, WWE has yet to bring him back on television.
According to the reports, Styles is healthy and enjoying time with his family. Interestingly, his contract is set to expire either late this year or early 2025. There's no word on whether WWE has approached him about signing an extension. Despite his career winding down, Styles has defied his age with memorable outings against Cody Rhodes earlier this year.
It will be interesting to see if Triple H will bring him back on television before 2024 draws closer.
