A WWE star is returning to the ring on SmackDown.

On November 15th, United States Champion LA Knight issued an open challenge after turning down the chance to join the OG Bloodline for WarGames. Knight’s challenge was answered by Berto, but things didn’t quite go to plan.

After a short match, Knight grabbed the win, only to be attacked by a returning Shinsuke Nakamura. The 2018 Royal Rumble hadn’t been seen on television for several months. A week later, Nakamura attacked Knight again, this time after a successful title defence over Santos Escobar.

Before Nakamura gets his wish and a shot at Knight, he’ll have to go through Andrade on the November 29th edition of SmackDown. The match will be Nakamura’s first on television since April 22nd.

The full list of SmackDown spoilers is already available as the episode was taped a week in advance due to Thanksgiving.
