Tiffany Stratton, Bayley, and Tama Tonga are also advertised.
-WWE is in Miami, Florida at Kaseya Center on Sunday with the following advertised lineup: Cody Rhodes vs. Kevin Owens in a cage match for the WWE Championship, and Nia Jax vs. Naomi for the WWE Women’s Championship are the only matches listed on the host venue’s website. One can only assume that the show will also include The Usos vs. Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu in a street fight, “DIY” Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa vs. “The Street Profits” Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins vs. “The Motor City Machine Guns” Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin vs. “A-Town Down Under” Grayson Waller and Austin Theory in a four-way for the WWE Tag Team Titles, Bianca Belair and Michin vs. Pure Fusion Collective.
