WWE confirms SmackDown title match is still taking place at TLC PPV

Last week on WWE Friday Night SmackDown, the company held a contract signing for the Carmella vs. SmackDown Women’s Champion Sasha Banks match at the TLC pay-per-view event.

Right after signing the contract, WWE decided to book the match in the main event of the same SmackDown episode. The contest ended by DQ with Carmella winning after Banks wouldn’t follow a warning by the referee.

On Thursday, WWE updated its TLC preview article by noting that this match is still taking place at the PPV event as it will be a rematch.

The preview noted, “Will Carmella prove untouchable against the irate Boss? Don’t miss their SmackDown Women’s Title Rematch at WWE TLC.”
