This week has been full of surprises for the WWE Universe with both Monday Night Raw and SmackDown Live going a bit wild with some of the things that took place on this week's episodes.
Monday Night Raw had a handful of surprises as we saw Kevin Owens return, the Undertaker appears, the Shield gets ambushed, The B Team lose the tag-team titles and much, much more.

But what about SmackDown Live? Well, it didn't have quite as many surprises as Raw, owing to the shorter run time, but the surprises it did have were completely unexpected but also, a pleasant surprise.
So, here are the 3 unexpected but welcome surprises the WWE Universe loved from SmackDown Live.
#3. Asuka returns to help Naomi
Naomi found herself facing Billie Kay and despite winning was subject to a 2-on-1 attack from the IIconics. However, Naomi had backup as Asuka returned to even the odds which got a huge pop from the crowd.
Sure, if you were following Naomi's Instagram with the WWE Superstar reaching out to the likes of Cameron and Melina for help you might be a bit disappointed that her backup is already someone on the roster.
But if you're an Asuka fan, and let's be honest here, who isn't? Then you'll be overjoyed to see the 'Empress of Tomorrow' back where she belongs, kicking butt!
#2. Rusev Day winning
Not too long ago we thought they were actually going to split the brilliant pairing of Aiden English and Rusev up, thus putting an end to the phenomenon that is Rusev Day. How happy are we to see that isn't the case.
Also, how happy are we to see the WWE give them the nod over The Usos and newly called up SAnitY to take on The BAR for #1 contendership for the New Day's SmackDown Live Tag-Team Titles.
I have my fingers crossed that we'll get Rusev Day vs The New Day, because not only will there be a lot of 'days' but we've seen The BAR with tag-team gold for most of 2017 and Rusev Day finally having their day is long overdue.
#1. R-Truth winning in the main event in 2018
On a show with AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, Daniel Bryan, Shinsuke Nakamura and Randy Orton it's absolutely incredible that in 2018 someone like R-Truth can still find themselves in the main event of SmackDown Live and he even won!
Sure, The Miz was distracted by Daniel Bryan and Brie Bella, but R-Truth 100% won a main event match and boy are we all happy about it. The guy's a national treasure at this stage, calling Maryse Carmella and then saying to Carmella he needs her help against the other Carmella was comedy gold.
Literally, everything R-Truth has done since his injury return is fantastic and I want him to seriously win all the titles. I am not joking.
