Confirmed Matches
Daniel Bryan vs. The Miz: The winner of this match will become the No. 1 contender for the WWE championship, which is currently held by AJ Styles.
Triple H vs. The Undertaker: These two buried the hatched back at WrestleMania 28 with Michaels as the special guest referee. With Michaels advertised for the show, it will be interesting to see if he reprises that role at this event.
John Cena & Bobby Lashley vs. Kevin Owens & Elias: There has been absolutely no storyline build for this match, and we have not seen Cena on television in months.
The Shield vs. Braun Strowman, Dolph Ziggler & Drew McIntyre: This angle was setup six weeks early following a match on Raw in which Strowman turned heel on Reigns.
Ronda Rousey & The Bella Twins vs. The Riott Squad: Another multi-person match for the show without much of a build at this time, though that should change with the Bellas returning to Raw coming up in the near future.
WWE Championship -- AJ Styles (c) vs. Samoa Joe (No Disqualification): This match was booked before Styles and Joe clashed at Hell in a Cell. Styles retained their in controversial fashion, and SmackDown general manager Paige accepted Joe's demand for a rematch with this stipulation.
SmackDown Women's Championship -- Becky Lynch (c) vs. Charlotte Flair: This match was announced before Hell in a Cell, but the roles were reversed with Flair entering the show as champion. Whether WWE will still go with this match on the card with Evolution a few weeks later remains to be seen.
John Cena & Bobby Lashley vs. Kevin Owens & Elias: There has been absolutely no storyline build for this match, and we have not seen Cena on television in months. Owens has started something with Lashley, but the others have not factored in as of yet.
SmackDown Tag Team Championship -- New Day (c) vs. The Bar: Despite not winning either of two tag team No. 1 contendership tournaments, The Bar was given this match at Hell in a Cell after New Day beat Rusev Day on the kickoff show. Confounding.
Asuka & Naomi vs. The IIconics: The pairing of Asuka & Naomi happened out of nowhere, but the attire the two wear certainly match. Their feud with the IIconics just began on SmackDown and should develop as we move forward toward Australia.
WWE Cruiserweight Championship -- Cedric Alexander (c) vs. Buddy Murphy: In his hometown of Melbourne, Murphy will get his second crack at Alexander and the cruiserweight title. This may be the best opportunity to remove the championship from Alexander, while creating a memorable moment with Murphy's win in the process.
