Former WWE Champion Return And A Huge Match Announced For Next Week’s Friday Night SmackDown

On this week’s SmackDown, Sasha Banks, Aliyah and Naomi defeated Shayna Baszler, Shotzi and Natalya in six women tag team match. Later on the show, WWE announced that Sasha Banks will battle Shotzi in singles match on next week’s SmackDown.

The Celtic Warrior underwent another nose surgery at the end of September, for an injury originally suffered in May but re-aggravated a few times since then, and returned to the ring on the WWE UK tour that just wrapped up this past week. He has not wrestled on TV since the September 27 edition of Raw and he’s officially moved to SmackDown in WWE Draft.

Last week on SmackDown, Ridge Holland had backstage interviews in which he talked about how Sheamus inspired him to get into pro wrestling, and how that would be awful news for the rest of the SmackDown roster.

Ridge Holland also interviewed by Braxton again on this week’s SmackDown, in which he talked about his praise for Sheamus, saying he was speaking from the heart last week. Holland went on about how he’s proud to follow in the footsteps of The Celtic Warrior. Then, Cesaro interrupted him and warned Holland about Sheamus. 

Then, Holland fired back and said he was aware of the Cesaro – Sheamus relationship, and he was now calling his shot as he and Sheamus will be a far better The Bar ever was. Then, Holland said if Cesaro doesn’t like what he’s saying, he cane take it up with Sheamus next week as he will be back on the show.
