Something Big Happening This Week On WWE SmackDown

Something big is apparently planned for WWE SmackDown.

WWE's Director of Longterm Creative Rob Fee took to Twitter and shared that the fans won't want to miss this week's show. He tweeted, "I wouldn’t miss Smackdown this week. Don’t say I didn’t warn you."

However, the tweet doesn't confirm any relatable, but the fans are going high on speculating that this might be a thing for Bray Wyatt. For weeks, WWE has been dropping hints that Alexa Bliss is turning and reuniting with Wyatt soon.
