Top Star Set To Return On TONIGHT'S WWE SmackDown

WWE has included AJ Styles in promotional materials for Friday night's special 'Tribute To The Troops' episode of SmackDown, and that's fuelling rumours that Styles will make his first TV appearance for the company since September.

AJ was locked in a mini-feud with members of The Bloodline before being written off TV a few months back. Nothing has been 100% confirmed in terms of a comeback, but it seems likely now he's been spotted on the poster for this blue brand military love-in.

Fellow OC member Luke Gallows recently returned from a knee injury and has been working house show dates alongside regular partner Karl Anderson. Meanwhile, Michin hasn't been spotted on programming much herself.

Will Friday's show be a major return to form for the faction as a whole? That remains to be seen. Fans will be most hyped to see Styles back in the mix anyway. The former WWE Champion is one of the most celebrated in-ring workers around, and Triple H will be pleased to have him back.

There's no word yet on exactly what AJ will be doing at 'Tribute To The Troops'.
