5 Takeaways from this week's WWE SmackDown Live (26 June 2018)

#1 Extreme Rules is shaping up to be a really strong card

Kane and Daniel Bryan are back together!

The finish to SmackDown Live this week was one of the best we’ve seen all year, with Kane making a surprise return to reunite – and hug it out – with former Team Hell No tag partner Daniel Bryan.

SmackDown General Manager Paige then revealed that the two will challenge for the SmackDown Tag Team Championships against The Bludgeon Brothers at Extreme Rules, which means five matches have now been announced for the show.

Elsewhere on the card, it’ll be AJ Styles vs. Rusev (WWE Championship), Matt Hardy & Bray Wyatt vs. Curtis Axel & Bo Dallas (Raw Tag Team Championships), Alexa Bliss vs. Nia Jax (Raw Women’s Championship) and Carmella vs. Asuka (SmackDown Women’s Championship).

With more matches certain to be announced in the upcoming weeks, this is already shaping up to be a great card for the next PPV. Let’s hope WWE throws in some appropriate match stipulations to make it even better!
