First-Ever Shillelagh Match, Viking Raiders vs. New Day, More Set For 7/29 WWE SmackDown

The main event for the July 29th edition of WWE SmackDown is set.

The July 22nd episode of SmackDown featured yet another confrontation between Sheamus and Drew McIntyre. After weeks of Sheamus dodging McIntyre, the two are now set to do battle in WWE’s first Shillelagh match.

shillelagh is a wooden walking stick or club with a large knob at the top that could be used as a weapon, and Sheamus had several of them on display during his in-ring segment on Friday’s show.

The winner of Sheamus vs. McIntyre will challenge for the WWE Undisputed Universal Championship at Clash of the Castle in Cardiff, Wales, on September 3.

Also set for next week’s SmackDown will be grudge matches featuring Lacey Evans vs. Aliyah and The Viking Raiders vs. The New Day. Plus Maxxine Dupri, formerly known as Sofia Cromwell on NXT 2.0, will host the Maximum Male Models 2022 SummerSlam Beachwear Collection. Max Dupri was absent from this week’s show.

Below is the updated lineup for the go-home show to SummerSlam:

  • Maxxine Dupri hosts the Maximum Male Models 2022 SummerSlam Beachwear Collection
  • Aliyah vs. Lacey Evans
  • New Day vs. Viking Raiders
  • Drew McIntyre vs. Sheamus in a Shillelagh Match to determine the #1 contender at Clash of the Castle
