– WWE is advertising Jinder Mahal defending the championship against Shinsuke Nakamura at SmackDown live events next weekend.

Here is the lineup for the live event in Everett, WA on June 25th:
* Jinder Mahal vs. Shinsuke Nakamura for the WWE Championship
* Kevin Owens vs. Mojo Rawley for the US Championship
* The New Day vs. The Usos vs. Breezango for the SmackDown Tag Team Championships
– As noted, Roman Reigns will be making an announcement regarding his plans for the SummerSlam pay-per-view event in August at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn on next week’s episode of RAW. Reigns took to Twitter to hype his announcement. He sent out this tweet:
Not everyone is going to like what I say, but you don't want to miss it.
