#5 Major spoiler related to Roman Reigns for Friday's edition of WWE SmackDown

Warning: This slide contains potential spoilers for the next edition of WWE SmackDown. Skip ahead to avoid spoilers...

This week's SmackDown falls on the 25th of December, which means that it is a double bonanza for WWE fans. Not only is it Christmas day, but the WWE has prepared a solid lineup for the holiday show as well.

The episode has been taped in advance and Fightful Select have reported some interesting details about what will happen on the show. The WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns will be defending his title against Kevin Owens in a Steel Cage match.

Fightful have stated that this match will lead to another match on the same show. This could mean that we should probably not expect a clean finish or a title change.

''Sapp reports that this match will lead to another later on in the show, so anyone in the WWE Universe that was hoping for a title change or a clean finish may be left disappointed.''

It has also been reported that Charlotte Flair and Asuka will defend their Women's Tag Team Championships against a mystery team. The main event of the show will reportedly be Big E vs Sami Zayn for the IC Championship in a Lumberjack Match.

#4 Liv Morgan wants to restart controversial LGBTQ angle with Lana in WWE

When Liv Morgan returned to WWE earlier this year, it looked as though a long-running storyline between Lana and Morgan was going to begin. Liv Morgan objected to the 'Wedding' of Bobby Lashley and Lana, claiming that she was Lana's secret lover.

While the two women did come face to face during the Royal Rumble match, the angle was abruptly dropped and both women went their separate ways. Speaking to Inside The Ropes, Liv Morgan stated that she would like to revisit the story if given the chance.

"Me personally, I would love to touch on that story again. Because I think it's so important just to show not different people but, you know, 'Hey, maybe I love this girl,' you know, like, I think it's important just to show that."

The Riott Squad member also suggested that she would love it if WWE was to restart the storyline, but admitted that there are no such plans as of now.

"I don't think you ever can ever say never in WWE. I think anything and everything is open to being visited again. Is that happening? I have no idea. But would I like it? For sure. But it was a very crazy experience."

Liv Morgan is currently a SmackDown Superstar where she is paired with Ruby Riott.

#3 Jeff Hardy wants a feud with The Fiend in WWE

The Fiend and Randy Orton faced each other in the first-ever Firefly Inferno match at TLC. However, there is another former WWE Champion who wants to face Bray Wyatt soon. That Superstar being none other than the Charismatic Enigma himself, Jeff Hardy.

Speaking to Stephanie Chase of Digital Spy, Jeff Hardy said that he believes something 'magical' can happen if he brings back his alter ego 'Brother Nero' to feud with The Fiend Bray Wyatt.

"I think there's something magical that can happen between Jeff Hardy and Bray Wyatt and The Fiend and Willow; my alter Nero that will come back to life."

Talking about his alter egos, Hardy also hinted that he would want to bring back his 'Willow' persona from his days in TNA. The character had become wildly popular and saw Hardy don black attire with unique face paint.

"I have this huge vision of, like a black wedding dress and Willow's almost like, not him or her, but just God. Some kind of weird figure that doesn't make sense to anybody."

#2 Drew McIntyre reveals how Vince McMahon responded to his main-roster return in WWE

Drew McIntyre had been labeled 'The Chosen One' by Vince McMahon when he debuted in WWE. However, a young Drew McIntyre was not up to the task and soon buckled under pressure, as Drew himself has discussed on several occassions. He was released by the company not long after.

However, McIntyre wasn't one to give up and continued his journey working for various other promotions, before returning to NXT. The Scottish Warrior became the NXT Champion and went on to finally return to the main roster in 2018.

Speaking to Stone Cold Steve Austin on the Broken Skull Sessions, the current WWE Champion revealed what his return was like and how Vince McMahon reacted.

"There was nothing said before I actually hit the ring. The first time with Dolph [Ziggler], I was underneath the ring. I came out, the same feeling under the ring, 'oh God, I hope they know what I'm all about'. I came out, I took out Titus O'Neil and Apollo and sided with Dolph and it started a 'McIntyre' chant. I was like 'oh, thank God they know'. I got backstage to Gorilla and gave Vince a hug and he said 'welcome home'. And it was later on that we started having conversations."

Drew McIntyre recently defeated The Miz and AJ Styles in a TLC match for the WWE Championship at the TLC PPV.

#1 Vince Russo blasts Drew Gulak's booking in WWE

Drew Gulak made his way to WWE after making a mark in the world of independent wrestling. While Gulak is a former Cruiserweight Champion as well as a multiple-time 24/7 Champion, many believe he is not being utilized to his full potential in WWE.

One such man who shares this opinion is Vince Russo. While speaking to SK Wrestling on Legion of RAW, the former WWE Head Writer blasted WWE's booking of Drew Gulak, saying that he has no character at all.

''And speaking of character, seriously... I get it, Drew Gulak is a great worker, I understand, I get it. Please tell me one thing about Drew Gulak... one thing, give me one single character trait of Drew Gulak. One! One! Why am I not turning the channel during this match? ''

Drew Gulak had been receiving a slight push on SmackDown before he got drafted to RAW this year. The apparent reason for his push on the blue brand was former WWE Champion Daniel Bryan vouching for him backstage, and even forming a tag team with him on-screen.
