What to expect for the upcoming Friday Night SmackDown episode?
Two returns are said to occur tonight. One was already announced, while the other is a rumor. It has been advertised that CM Punk will return to WWE SmackDown this week after almost a decade away. Another star rumored to return is AJ Styles, who has been away from the company since September this year after being taken out by The Bloodline.
The feud between Damage CTRL and the rest of the women's division is unfinished. After the group failed to win at Survivor Series, tensions rose against Bayley. Tonight, Charlotte Flair will go up against Asuka, and it would be interesting if the Japanese star has The Role Model by her side.
Logan Paul's United States Championship Tournament will also kick off tonight. The first two matches will see Dragon Lee vs. Santos Escobar, the latter having already defeated the former at the Survivor Series. Karrion Kross will also battle Bobby Lashley to determine who will advance.
Finally, Randy Orton will be in action tonight. After The Viper appeared last week on WWE SmackDown, he was attacked by Jimmy Uso and Solo Sikoa. However, The Apex Predator received backup from LA Knight. Orton and Knight will pair up against The Bloodline for the upcoming episode.
