Payback is less than a week away and there is only one SmackDown left to hype up the upcoming PLE. With John Cena about to make his joyful return to the blue brand next week, SmackDown looks promising.
SmackDown this week saw a Bray Wyatt memorial tribute show with wrestlers remembering him and paying him a tribute. Apart from SmackDown, various superstars like John Cena, The Rock, Seth Rollins, and many more paid tribute through the internet. With no rivalries being progressed during this week’s show, only one SmackDown remains for the build-up of WWE Payback.
