WWE SmackDown: Important matches and events
Kofi Kingston to face Brock Lesnar
Earlier this month, Brock Lesnar returned to SmackDown and challenged Kofi Kingston for a WWE title match in the debut show of SmackDown on FOX. Kofi accepted the challenge and Brock delivered an F-5 to the champ in return. This week Brock was seen in his Beast form as he entered the season premiere of Raw and attacked Rey Mysterio and his son Dominic. So, after everything Brock has done this week, the question arises, can Kingston slay The Beast and retain his title?
The Rock comes back home
Finally, The Rock will come back to SmackDown. The Jumanji and Fast & Furious star confirmed his return to the show on Twitter. The 'Most Electrifying Man in All of Entertainment' has provided WWE with some legendary matches on SmackDown. The Rock was also a part of the main event of SmackDown when it was first introduced two decades ago. Surely this Friday night will also become memorable as the people’s champ enters the ring.
FINALLY...I come back home to my @WWE universe.
