Although not officially announced, internal notes confirm that AAA Cruiserweight Champion Rey Fénix will face JD McDonagh on tonight’s SmackDown from the Resch Center in Green Bay.
The July 31 WWE SmackDown spoilers point to this match being part of the go‑home broadcast for the two‑night SummerSlam event taking place this weekend at US Bank Stadium in Minneapolis.
Another item listed internally, but not yet promoted publicly, is a Sami Zayn promo expected to open the show. The live broadcast begins at 8/7c on USA Network and Netflix, and the view behind the scenes suggests Zayn will set the tone for the night.
There is also a correction regarding the tag team title situation. The War Raiders, who hold the AAA Tag Team Championships, are advertised to challenge Damian Priest and R‑Truth for the WWE Tag Team Titles. However, internal rundowns for the July 31 WWE SmackDown spoilers list the bout as a Championship vs. Championship match, meaning both sets of titles are scheduled to be on the line.
Undisputed WWE Champion CM Punk is slated to close the show. The Lash Legend vs. Giulia qualifier match is expected to take place in the final hour, rounding out the key moments planned for the night.
Backstage notes indicate that WWE Intercontinental Champion Penta and AAA Mega Champion Dominik Mysterio are present in Green Bay. The belief is that they will work a dark segment, though it remains unclear whether they will appear on the televised broadcast. Their involvement adds another layer to the July 31 WWE SmackDown spoilers circulating internally.
Advertised for tonight’s show is the final qualifier for the Interim Women’s Championship Ladder Match, with Giulia facing Lash Legend. The War Raiders are also set to defend the WWE Tag Team Championship against Damian Priest and R‑Truth, and CM Punk is scheduled for a face‑to‑face confrontation with Cody Rhodes ahead of their SummerSlam title match.
