WWE might have some surprises lined-up for the fans at tonight’s Friday Night SmackDown. If reports are to be believed New Day member Xavier Woods and WWE Hall of Famer JBL are likely to return.
Xavier Woods might return with JBL
Fightful Select reported that SmackDown star Xavier Woods and JBL will return to TV on the next episode of SmackDown. Clash at the Castle is the next PPV in line, and the company has planned on taping two lead-in episodes of SmackDown before the historic premium live event in the UK.
Regarding Xavier Woods, the New Day member did not compete throughout August after being written off television amidst an angle with The Viking Raiders. The heels used chairs and other objects to inflict a storyline injury on Woods as Kofi Kingston resumed New Day’s rivalry with the Raiders in his absence.
As per Fightful’s report, Woods is currently slated to appear on the Friday night show based on WWE’s internal listings for the show. Woods could be back to support his partner, and rumors state that WWE could eventually add New Day vs. Viking Raiders to the Clash at the Castle match card.
While JBL has been confirmed to return on the upcoming episode of the blue brand, there are presently no updates regarding WWE’s creative plans for the Hall of Famer. . He last showed up during the second night of WrestleMania 37, where he was the special guest announcer for Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens’ match.
