Tonight, the WWE will be landing in the BOK Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma for their weekly edition of SmackDown Live.
Following up from a monumental Hell In A Cell pay per view, the superstars from the blue brand are sure to be bruised but resilient after the show which saw a new SmackDown Live Women's Champion crowned, and also saw Jeff Hardy stretchered away after a brutal Hell In A Cell match.
With the WWE announcing their upcoming WWE Crown Jewels event in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, the SmackDown Live superstars will be eager to impress General Manager Paige, each one hoping for a spot in the upcoming WWE World Cup tournament.
The winner of the World Cup will be determined at WWE Crown Jewels, but until then, here are 5 things you need to know before tuning in to SmackDown Live tonight on the USA Network.
We could see a new champion
On the WWE Hell In A Cell 2018 Kick-Off show, the team of Rusev Day (Rusev and Aiden English) came up short against SmackDown Live Tag Team Champions, the New Day.
Whilst the Bulgarian Brute came up short at the show, the United States championship wasn't even defended, much to the ire of both the champion Shinsuke Nakamura and Paige.
Paige has set a title match between the two tonight, where Rusev will add a third US Championship victory to his repertoire.
Orton and Hardy return from Hell
In the opening event on the Hell In A Cell main-show, Jeff Hardy and Randy Orton took their feud to the next level, using a variety of weapons (as well as the red cell itself) in their battle to destroy each other.
The Viper picked up the victory, after Hardy's weakened body could not hold him, and he crashed through a table from the cell roof. Orton really showed his sadistic side inside the Cell, crushing Hardy in a ladder, and using a screwdriver in the Charismatic Enigma's earlobe.
Returning to SmackDown Live, Orton has some genuine reasons why he should be in the WWE Championship picture, though the WWE Universe will have to wait and see what Hardy has to say, if he's even able to attend at all.
A mystery guest on Miz TV
When Daniel Bryan returned to in-ring competition after a 2-year retirement, the YES! Movement leader quickly became a target of WWE's resident A-Lister, The Miz.
At Summerslam, The Miz picked up a huge upset over Bryan, defeating him with the help of wife Maryse, and a foreign object.
And at Hell In A Cell, The IT-Couple were once again victorious, this time over Bryan and his wife Brie Bella.
Now, the couple has promised a very special mystery guest on Miz TV tonight, with a number one contenders match between the rivals set for WWE Super Show-Down.
The Lass Kicker returns triumphantly
At Summerslam, Charlotte Flair won her record-tying seventh Women's Championship, pinning Becky Lynch in a match which also featured then-champion Carmella.
Post-match, Lynch attacked her former best friend, turning heel, though many fans have still cheered for the Lass Kicker.
At Hell In A Cell, Lynch defeated Flair to win her second women's championship in the company.
Lynch is expected to have nothing short of a grand celebration tonight, but after refusing to shake Flair's hand at Hell In A Cell, you have to wonder about whether the Queen will burst the Irishwoman's bubble.
Styles Vs Almas. Will Joe strike?
AJ Styles is still the WWE Champion, by the very skin of his teeth. At the pay per view, Styles seemingly tapped out, at the same time Joe's shoulders were pinned to the mat.
This isn't the first time we've seen a Styles title match ended with controversy, with his double count out against Shinsuke Nakamura still fresh with fans.
Tonight though, Styles will face Andrade 'Cien' Almas, with the Georgian having to look out for Zelina Vega.
However, with Paige promising a rematch between Joe and Styles at WWE Super Show-Down, expect the Samoan Submission machine to make his presence known in tonight's main event, before his big return match next month in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.
