Shelton Benjamin is back

It's been seven years since Shelton Benjamin stepped foot in a WWE ring but tonight he makes his comeback.

The veteran high-flier is teaming up with Chad Gable in what Smackdown general manager Daniel Bryan hopes is an exciting new tag pairing.

Benjamin was one of the most underrated performers in pro-wrestling during his first stint with WWE, so it'll be interesting to see how the 42-year old is used over the next few weeks.

Ziggler promises to be a 'star'

Dolph Ziggler has not been seen much in WWE recently but he has promised that's about to change.

The man known as 'the showoff' has claimed he will 'do what stars do' by making himself flashier than ever before.

The problem for Ziggler, however, is there's already a man with a great entrance and a lot of buzz on the scene now; Bobby Roode.

What next for Roode?

The former NXT Champion made his main roster debut on Smackdown last week, with his 'Glorious' entrance well received by the fans.

Roode's about as old school as you get when it comes to in-ring technique, with many likening him to Triple H.

He made short work of Aiden English in the ring, so who will be next?

Will Tamina prove she should be feared?

Lana has taken Tamina under her wing in recent weeks and has challenged her to prove she should be feared in WWE.

The Smackdown Women's Championship is currently held by Natalya, who will have to face Naomi at some point for her mandatory rematch for the title.

But if Tamina lives up to Lana's promise then she could easily enter the title picture.

What now for Kevin Owens?

Kevin Owens lost his last shot at the U.S. Championship last week but only after more refereeing controversy involving Smackdown commissioner Shane McMahon.

Now he's out of the title hunt will KO turn his attentions to getting revenge on his boss or focus on another opponent?

Either way, AJ Styles will be delighted if Owens is no longer after his title.
