The early plans for tonight’s SmackDown tapings have been revealed.
Fightful Select have reported several people slated to be used during the tapings as WWE will look to tape two episodes in one taping.
Xavier Woods is set to return to the ring after missing all of August. Woods was knocked off television by the newly heel Viking Raiders in the middle of their feud with New Day, when Erik and Ivar kayfabe sidelined Woods with a steel chair, among other objects. As of now, Woods is planned for the double tapings in Detroit. Early creative plans had him slated to appear on Friday’s episode of Smackdown. Former WWE Champion JBL was also slated to be used in some capacity at the tapings. JBL has appeared on and off for WWE for years after retiring from in-ring action in 2009. We’ll have more details on creative surrounding Smackdown Friday morning, and will have rundowns for both shows later that evening.
