The New Day didn’t show up on SmackDown tonight as had been rumored, but they showed up on Talking Smack after the show. Kofi Kingston has reportedly been cleared to return to the ring, so they should be back in action any time now.
On Talking Smack, Big E responded to JBL’s claim that the Usos were the best tag team in the past half-decade, saying, “y’all let JBL say some wild stuff. Y’all let JBL go off at the mouth.”
Big E also said he’s been officiating weddings and exorcising the demons from Kofi Kingston’s injured ankle.
Xavier Woods said he “just had a baby” and has two children now. He also said that The Fashion Files has been the best thing on his TV.
