WWE is stacking the deck high for SmackDown's premiere on FOX Sports this week, with the following card already set for the big episode of the show:

WWE title match:

-Kofi Kingston (c) vs Brock Lesnar

Loser leaves WWE ladder match:

-Shane McMahon vs Kevin Owens

Tag Team match:

-Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair vs Sasha Banks and Bayley

In addition to the above matches, numerous WWE Hall of Famers and legends, such as Hulk Hogan and Steve Austin, will be appearing on the show, and it was announced on Monday that The Rock will also be making a special appearance at the premiere, which is also the 20th anniversary of SmackDown.

While everyone seemed pleased to see the announcement that The Rock would be returning to WWE TV, Elias did not express such delight, and pointed out the interesting timing of The Rock's return to WWE TV.

GREAT timing from @TheRock FINALLY deciding to show up when you know I’m not medically cleared to get inside that ring.

Elias has been angling for a match with The Rock for quite some time, and has taken shots at The Great One in the past, claiming he is a much better performer than the man who dubs himself "the most electrifying man in sports entertainment."
