WWE SmackDown in Riyadh is looking to be an explosive show, with the matches announced
The WWE Universe has been witnessing the tensions between Tiffany Stratton and Nia Jax for a long time. It escalated further when Stratton cashed in her Money in the Bank contract on her and took the WWE Women's title from her.
The duo will collide once again after many battles on SmackDown next week. However, this time, it will be a Last Woman Standing match for the coveted title.
The second huge title match announced for the show is also from the women's division. Zelina Vega finally defied all odds when she defeated Chelsea Green to win her first singles title, the WWE Women's United States Championship. However, since that time, the newest arrival from NXT, Giulia, has been having altercations with her.
Two weeks ago, Giulia attacked her after what looked like she was trying to assist her against Green and her Secret Hervice.
Next week on SmackDown, Vega will have the chance to go one-on-one against Giulia with her title on the line.
The last showdown announced with title implications will see The Street Profits defending their WWE Tag Team Championships against the dark force of The Wyatt Sicks. Uncle Howdy's force has been targeting the tag team division ever since they made their return to WWE. They will have a major opportunity to claim their first piece of gold as a faction in WWE next week in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
With a stacked match card announced, the show before WWE Night of Champions is looking to be a blockbuster in its own right ahead of the main Premium Live Event.

It has been officially stated that the company will give his farewell match against the current WWE World Heavyweight Champion Gunther. Even though speculations have been made by fans of a potential comeback and a showdown, the confirmation has shed light and excitement to the endgame of Goldberg. At Saturday Night Main Event, on July 12, 2025, in Atlanta, Georgia, a perfect place since Goldberg has connections to the city. Goldberg and Gunther will face off. This game will be the crown of the event and it is the endpoint of a great career. The fight may end up being the most watched of the year, bearing in mind the legacy of the two fighters. In case Goldberg can overcome Gunther, he will be the oldest WWE World Champion (58 years old) in history. Goldberg is still a fan favorite in spite of his age and could go out with one more big moment in his final appearance. WWE under the TKO Group Holdings umbrella announced the ticket sale of the Saturday Night Main Event, to commence Wednesday, June 25 at 10 AM ETR/ 7 AM PTR, in a press release. Other than a reassurance that Goldberg had indeed made an appearance at the show (which culminated into what was his last match), the release also hence publicized another major event, one by the name of Evolution, which is set to take place on the following Sunday, July 13. Goldberg recently made an appearance on The National Football Show where he reacted to the remarks by Gunther citing him as an old man. The Hall of Famer did not deny his age, shrug off, the view by Gunther that he could have defeated him at the height of his prowess terming the view as preposterous. Nevertheless, Goldberg was effusive in his admiration saying that Gunther was a powerful and worthy adversary. The final between Goldberg and Gunther will not be simply a retirement battle but an age conflict. Whereas Gunther symbolizes the present and the future, the tough and storied nature of Goldberg will stand rampant on his final stand. July 12 is going to be a night in the history of professional wrestling, whether it succeeds or not.
