WWE has started loading up next week's episode of SmackDown in advance.

Firstly, Carmella will finally make her return to action. She appeared in another vignette on Friday night's latest and said she would show the world why she's "untouchable"; that's 'Mella's new catchphrase after being outed as SmackDown's mystery woman a while back.

The company are also banking (ahem) on a SmackDown Women's Title rematch from Hell In A Cell to deliver some ratings gold. Sasha Banks will defend her newly-won prize against former champion Bayley - Banks accepted her old pal's challenge on SmackDown this week.

It's a good sign for the ladies that WWE are going hard on promotion for their segments. Carmella is likely to secure a slot on Team SmackDown for Survivor Series, and Sasha will probably retain her title. She's already scheduled for a brand vs. brand showdown against Raw Women's Champ Asuka at the next pay-per-view.

One thing this rematch does show is that WWE aren't done yet with the Sasha vs. Bayley feud. That could easily roll on into the new year, and might even be part of WrestleMania 37.
