During a commercial break on Monday’s episode of WWE Raw, it was announced that the winner of the SmackDown World Cup will receive a future Intercontinental Championship opportunity.
The tournament will be an eight-person tournament, with participants yet to be named.
Also announced for this Friday night’s WWE SmackDown is an Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship Match with the Usos defending against The New Day (Xavier Wood and Kofi Kingston). The Usos were successful in defending the tag titles against The Brawling Brutes (Ridge Holland & Butch) at last Saturday’s Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia.
The Usos are looking to break The New Day’s record of being the longest reigning WWE Tag Team Champions at 483 days.
