On next Friday night’s episode of WWE SmackDown, IYO SKY is slated to defend her WWE Women’s Championship against Charlotte Flair. The official announcement came during this week’s show, courtesy of the newly appointed SmackDown General Manager, Nick Aldis, who deemed Flair worthy of this opportunity due to a previous controversy surrounding their triple threat title match at WWE Fastlane 2023, which also featured Asuka.
Furthermore, the episode will feature a singles bout between Santos Escobar and Montez Ford, a clash born from a backstage altercation involving Lashley, Carlito, and the Street Profits on this week’s show.
The Friday Night SmackDown lineup for October 20 is as follows:
– WWE Women’s Championship: IYO SKY (c) vs. Charlotte Flair
– Santos Escobar vs. Montez Ford
