During tonight’s episode, the company confirmed that next week’s show will be themed around the older era of SmackDown. The company aired a brief commercial for the show, complete with the original logo that was first used for the show in the late 90s. WWE’s plan for the special show are currently unkown, but many fans are already excited to see the company turn back time next Friday.

On top of the throwback move, Cesaro will also face off against his bitter rival, Seth Rollins. “The Swiss Cyborg” has been feuding with Rollins for some time now, and after Rollins once again challenged him to a match, Cesaro accepted. Cesaro will have a short amount of time to recover after Roman Reigns and Jey Uso attacked him to close out tonight’s show. Of course, he should be more than ready to try and end his rivalry against Rollins.
