The August 30, 2024 episode of WWE SmackDown is being taped in Berlin, Germany, and will air on a tape delay in the United States. The show features two championship matches: Nia Jax defending her Women's title against Mia 'Michin' Yim in a street fight, and LA Knight issuing an open challenge for his United States championship, which Ludwig Kaiser accepted. The event serves as a lead-up to the upcoming premium live event, Bash in Berlin, where WWE champion Cody Rhodes will face Kevin Owens. LA Knight's remarks about renaming his title to the 'Capital championship' for the weekend resonated with the Berlin crowd, while Kaiser received a warm welcome. The episode is expected to build excitement for the upcoming matches, particularly the pivotal exchanges between Rhodes and Owens. Spoilers for the event are already circulating as fans anticipate the results.
