Talking Smack returns today.

The morning analysis show will make its comeback on the free version of WWE Network first, and the general idea is to ensure that SmackDown has a chance to air in every available market before WWE break it down later.

Xavier Woods (who is currently rehabbing an injury) and Kayla Braxton have been named as the hosts.

They'll be joined by some special guests for the show's return episode. Woods' New Day partner Big E will be one of them, and new Intercontinental Champ Jeff Hardy (who seized the belt from AJ Styles on Friday night) joins him. The 'Golden Role Models' duo of Sasha Banks and Bayley will be in the house too.

Talking Smack is likely to follow the same banter-filled format its predecessor did a few years back. The show didn't exactly become must-see weekly fare, but it was notable for moments like The Miz blowing up at Daniel Bryan on air.

This is also a great opportunity for Braxton. She has the chance to become WWE's go-to presenter now that Renee Young has left the company.

Look out for Talking Smack later today.
