WWE didn’t have much of anything advertised for tonight’s (May 15) 3-hour episode of SmackDown as of this morning, which meant a flurry of matches and segments were bound to be announced throughout the day.
One such match that WWE added late to the card is WWE Tag Team Champions R-Truth & Damian Priest vs. Tama Tonga and Talla Tonga. However, WWE’s match graphic accidentally put JC Mateo’s face in place of Talla. Mateo (aka Jeff Cobb) was released by WWE in last month’s round of major roster cuts.
The graphic was soon corrected by WWE. However, GM Nick Aldis then pulled Truth from the match because he is not medically cleared. It’s now a singles bout between Priest and Tama.
I’m starting to think this match is doomed and maybe WWE should just give everyone involved the night off.
Another interesting SmackDown note is that Chelsea Green says she will be at the show, only two weeks after undergoing a heart operation.
Here is the current lineup for SmackDown:
- GUNTHER makes his decision on signing a contract to join SmackDown and challenge WWE Champion Cody Rhodes at Clash In Italy
- United States Champion Trick Williams has a homecoming celebration in Columbia, South Carolina
- Damian Priest
& R-Truthvs. Tama Tonga& JC MateoTalla Tonga - Jade Cargill promo to address her attack on WWE Women’s Champion Rhea Ripley
- Alexa Bliss & Charlotte Flair vs. B-Fab & Michin
