WWE recently announced that next week’s episode of WWE SmackDown, which is the post-Backlash episode, will see Undisputed WWE Universal Champion “The Head Of The Table” Roman Reigns make his return to TV for the first time since the post-WrestleMania 39 episode of WWE RAW, but there’s no word yet on what Reigns will be doing.
Next week’s post-Backlash episode of WWE SmackDown will also see the official in-ring debut of former WWE NXT Star Cameron Grimes, who will face Baron Corbin in a Singles Match. We will also see reigning WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez defend their championships against the duo of Bayley and Dakota Kai of Damage CTRL, two WWE World Heavyweight Title Tournament Triple Threat First Round Matches and a WWE World Heavyweight Title Tournament Second Round Match.
