#2 The Undertaker puts over Big E in a backstage promo on SmackDown

A huge return that is rumored for this week's SmackDown is that of The Undertaker. The Phenom last appeared on WWE television at last year's Survivor Series pay-per-view for his retirement segment.

It's unlikely that The Undertaker's return would lead to another match since he seems happy with his match against AJ Styles last year being his last. He could instead cut a backstage promo, promoting his upcoming interactive horror movie on Netflix, which will also feature The New Day.

During his promo, The Phenom could put over Mr. Money in the Bank 2021, Big E, making a bold claim that he can see him becoming a world champion by the end of this year.


#1 Sasha Banks returns and gets added to the title match at Extreme Rules

SmackDown Women's Champion Becky Lynch is scheduled to defend her title against Bianca Belair at WWE Extreme Rules 2021. However, there could be a twist in the tale with Sasha Banks returning to the Blue brand this week and getting added to that match.

It was Banks who was originally supposed to face Belair at SummerSlam. However, she couldn't appear due to "unforeseen circumstances" and Lynch made her grand return, defeating Belair to become the new champion. Sasha Banks has all the reasons to demand her rightful rematch and could attack both Becky Lynch and Bianca Belair on SmackDown.
