— The Undertaker did not make his return to SmackDown! on last night’s show but it was announced that The Deadman will be returning next week to further the feud with World Heavyweight Champion Kane.
— WWE obviously has big plans for Alberto Del Rio after he made his debut on last night’s SmackDown! and defeated Rey Mysterio clean, by submission. Del Rio made his entrance in a Rolls Royce and even had his own personal ring announcer.
— WWE’s website crew made a mistake last night before they put Del Rio’s bio up on the SmackDown! roster page. It appears Del Rio’s bio was made public before the website editors removed their notes to each other.
