WWE News: Preview Tonight’s SmackDown Live & 205 Live (8/14/18)
With Monday Night RAW now in the books, the focus of the WWE Universe switches to tonight’s SummerSlam go-home edition of SmackDown Live from the Bon Secours Wellness Arena in Greenville, South Carolina.
Over the weekend, Aiden English, who’s had his fair share of problems with trying to aid his fellow Rusev Day members Lana and Rusev, issued a challenge to Andrade ‘Cien’ Almas in an effort to make up for his shortcomings. Of course, Rusev and Lana will be taking on Almas and Zelina Vega this Sunday on the SummerSlam Kickoff. With Zelina accepting Aiden’s challenge on behalf of her client, the match is set for tonight’s show. Here’s a look at what else is happening on the blue brand:
- WWE Champion AJ Styles has some more words for his SummerSlam challenger Samoa Joe
- Charlotte Flair, Becky Lynch and SmackDown Women’s Champion Carmella come face-to-face-to-face before SummerSlam
- Aiden English will go one-on-one with Andrade ‘Cien’ Almas
- The New Day takes on SAnitY in 6-Man Tag action
- Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville have been promised opportunity by General Manager Paige
As is the case every week, the WWE’s Cruiserweight Division will take over the WWE Network immediately following SmackDown for 205 Live. Here’s what you can expect when the high-flyers hit the air at 10PM EST:
- Akira Tozawa gets another chance at Lio Rush
- Cruiserweight Champion Cedric Alexander looks to make an example of Jack Gallagher
Woah, thats some big words that you’re using baby girl. But Charlotte and Becky earned their opportunity.. don’t worry, you’ll get to earn yours and not forgetting you too @SonyaDevilleWWE on Tuesday. 😘 https://t.co/hJmwmdjVYr

Former WWE Star Reveals How Company Tests Wrestlers for an “Attitude Problem”
A former WWE star took to social media to explain, in brief, how WWE evaluates its talent to determine whether they have an “attitude problem.” The post offered a glimpse into the company’s behind-the-scenes vetting process, suggesting that behavior and professionalism are actively monitored during a wrestler’s time with the promotion.
While the explanation was limited, the revelation underscores WWE’s focus on maintaining locker-room culture and managing talent dynamics. Fans and industry observers may read the post as further evidence that character and conduct behind the curtain can be as consequential as in-ring performance.

WWE Backlash Match Sparks “Clone War” Debate in Wrestling Community
Wrestling fans and insiders are abuzz after a match at WWE Backlash was accused of “copycatting” a formula previously used by an independent wrestler, a situation some are calling a new “clone war” in the industry. The controversy highlights growing concerns about creative overlap between major promotions and the indie scene.
The debate raises questions about originality and recognition, with observers wondering whether mainstream companies should acknowledge or adapt indie ideas more transparently.
