Pat will remain a member of the @WWE Universe and we look forward to his return. #UpToSomethingSZN458453040.@PatMcAfeeShow approached us about his amazing opportunity with College GameDay. We’d never stand in Pat’s way, as he continues to architect his exceptional career. Pat will remain a member of the @WWE Universe and we look forward to his return. #UpToSomethingSZN Earlier this week, it was announced that Pat McAfee would be stepping away from SmackDown for the foreseeable future. The NFL legend turned WWE color commentator will be a fixture on ESPN's College Gameday show for a few months before potentially returning to the announce table. McAfee's energy and rapport with Michael Cole have been one of the show's highlights and will be sorely missed. He has also impressed inside the squared circle during his stellar matches against Austin Theory and Happy Corbin. The question on everyone's mind is who WWE will replace him for the time being. Initial rumors suggest that Corey Graves will be pulling double duty across brands. However, fans have suggested names such as Mauro Ranallo and Nigel McGuinness, who were fan favorites on NXT and NXT UK, respectively. We'll just have to wait and see who fills in for McAfee starting this Friday.

Sikoa shockingly helped Roman Reigns retain the Undisputed Universal Championship by interfering in the latter's match with Drew McIntyre. The Street Champion of the Island then walked out with The Tribal Chief, signaling his alignment with The Bloodline. Sikoa and his elder brothers, The Usos, are expected to address his actions on SmackDown, potentially defining his role in the faction. Will Sikoa begin a slow build to singles stardom? Will he get an immediate push to the upper midcard? What will become of Honorary Uce Sami Zayn? The Bloodline's appearance on SmackDown will be must-see.

After his incredible reintroduction, Strowman informed the world that he would be on SmackDown. The announcement sparked great speculation over what will unfold when the monster arrives on the blue brand. Will he reignite old hostilities with Roman Reigns? Will he squash some more lower-card talent? Will he do something totally different from anything he has done before? We can't wait to see what's in store for the powerhouse moving forward.
