WWE will celebrate a new episode of Friday Night SmackDown tomorrow, which will take place in the city of Dublin, Ireland, kicking off the company's new European tour in anticipation of Clash in Paris. The blue brand show features the highly anticipated appearance of John Cena, who will face Logan Paul in an unprecedented match in the French capital in just over a week.

Meanwhile, the SmackDown card has been updated in the last few minutes by Nick Aldis, who in a video posted on social media, has announced two new matches. On one hand, Charlotte Flair will face Piper Niven one-on-one, continuing the rivalry between the current tag team champions (Flair and Alexa Bliss) and Chelsea Green and The Secret Hervice (Niven and Alba Fyre).

On the other hand, the tag team division will continue to have a prominent role on the blue brand, with a new match that will see The Street Profits against MFT, the faction led by Solo Sikoa. It is worth noting that both teams had a confrontation in a backstage segment last week, where they all made clear their intention to conquer the WWE Tag Team Championships.

The next episode of Friday Night SmackDown will take place on Friday, August 22 from the 3Arena in Dublin, Ireland. Fans can witness this event live from the venue, or through its delayed broadcast on USA Network in the United States and live on Netflix internationally. Below is the current lineup for the event.
