Lesnar returned to WWE, after he had been gone for more than a year, at the SummerSlam pay-per-view. He confronted WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns at the end of the show, seemingly set up a feud with him. Super SmackDown will mark Lesnar’s first appearance since the pay-per-view.
Lesnar will reportedly be positioned as a babyface on SmackDown now that he’s back.
A SummerSlam rematch between Edge and Seth Rollins has also been announced for Super SmackDown. Edge defeated Rollins at the pay-per-view, but this rematc was set up when the WWE Hall of Famer saved Cesaro from a post-match assault by Rollins on Friday night.
