Tonight's episode of WWE SmackDown goes down in Little Rock, Arkansas, and is shaping up to be one of the biggest weekly wrestling shows of the year.

WWE is yet to announce a single match for the televised portion of the card. Regardless, appearances from WWE's two biggest returning stars guarantees a decent level of interest, with Becky Lynch and Brock Lesnar both booked for the show following their SummerSlam 2021 comebacks.

Lynch became SmackDown Women's Champion at Bianca Belair's expense that night, squashing the former champ in under 30 seconds. She'll be presented as a heel going forward, with Belair seemingly her first feud partner, and the mixed reception to her title win makes what she'll do next particularly interesting.

Lesnar, meanwhile, looks set to jump straight into a feud with Roman Reigns. Brock warded the Universal Champion away from the ring following Roman's SummerSlam main event with John Cena, having re-signed with WWE prior to the event.

With Raw posting its highest viewership in months this week and SmackDown set to feature some of WWE's biggest stars, it's safe to assume good ratings when they come out on Monday.
