The company has dubbed next week's show "Super SmackDown". It'll air from Madison Square Garden, and it's set to be a biggie - Lesnar previously showed up at SummerSlam following the main event between Roman Reigns and John Cena.

It's believed that he'll kickstart his impending feud with Reigns properly on this bumper edition.

WWE are also planning a huge SummerSlam rematch for the card. Seth Rollins will get another crack at Edge one-on-one. This, admittedly, could be a ruse designed to settle things in a gimmick match come Extreme Rules on 26 September. Speaking of which, Becky Lynch and Bianca Belair will officially sign the contract for their own pay-per-view showdown on next week's broadcast.

Both women had a face-to-face on Friday night's episode, then squared off in a post-show six-woman tag (Belair teamed with Tegan Nox and Shotzi, whereas Becky aligned with Natalya and Tamina). Now, they'll ink the contract inside MSG.

However, it's Brock's return that'll turn most people's heads. This would mark his first appearance on SmackDown in almost two years.
