“This dude @TomPestock gonna be the first guy to lose two titles in two different companies in the same weekend. Keep making history bro 🫡,” wrote Carmelo Hayes.

This weekend, Corbin is set to defend the MLW Tag Team Championship alongside his partner against The Good Brothers on a pre-taped episode of MLW Fusion. Meanwhile, the night before, on SmackDown, Corbin must put his US Title on the line against Hayes.

This marks their third singles match, coming from the first on NXT and the second on SmackDown itself. Back in 2023, when Hayes was the NXT Champion, one of his defenses was against Baron Corbin, where the champ came out successful. Even in their second match in 2024, for the King of the Ring tournament, The Him defeated the Lone Wolf with a roll-up win.

The upcoming SmackDown has two more title matches

Other than the aforementioned United States Championship match between Carmelo Hayes and Baron Corbin, there are two more title matches on the live broadcast, while one more title match is a dark match. The dark match will see Cody Rhodes and Oba Femi vs. The Vision’s Austin Theory and Bron Breakker for the latter’s World Tag Team Championship.

On the show, Tiffany Stratton will defend her Women’s United States Championship against Jacy Jayne. While Damian Priest and R-Truth will defend their WWE Tag Team Championship against MFTs and the War Raiders.
