Here they come again. There are a lot of people on the active WWE roster but there are even more when you consider how many people under contract not appearing. Some of these names are missing due to injuries or various other issues, but at some point they are going to be showing up again. That makes for some interesting moments, and a lot of them took place on Friday.
One of the most exciting things is seeing a superstar return from whatever reason. You never know when you might see a wrestler leave the television product for the time being, meaning the countdown is on for their return. Sometimes you get a big name back, but some of them take longer. This week saw a ridiculous four returns in the same night and it was pretty awesome.
This week’s SmackDown saw a quartet of wrestlers return. Over the course of the show, Sheamus, John Morrison and the Usos all returned from absences caused by various reasons. Sheamus, who had been missing since April due to a concussion, returned and attacked Shorty G. Morrison returned to the company for the first time since November 2011 in a cameo, saying that Miz, Morrison’s former partner, had nothing to say. Finally, the Usos returned after some legal issues had kept them off television since July, saving Roman Reigns from a beatdown at the end of the show.
It was a big night. Check out the three returns:
Opinion: I’m not sure what to expect from the four of them, though Sheamus turning heel immediately and feuding with Shorty G. could be interesting. The same could be said for a Miz and Morrison reunion, which the Usos are going to fit in well anywhere on the card. I’m not sure what to expect from any of the four of them, but it should give SmackDown a needed boost.
