WWE SmackDown Live Preview: WWE Legend Returns, Undertaker Answers Cena's Challenge, RAW Superstar To Appear On SmackDown?

The go-home show of SmackDown Live could deliver a fantastic show. Three matches have already been announced as well as the return of SmackDown commissioner Shane McMahon.

On top of that, with the Undertaker not answering Cena's challenge on RAW, could the Deadman finally make his reply on SmackDown?


Shane McMahon returns

Shane McMahon went down with Diverticulitis while on vacation in the Carribean. WWE attributed Shane's condition to the brutal attack he suffered at the hands of Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn.

Daniel Bryan announced that Shane was fit to compete at WrestleMania on last week's episode of SmackDown. With just five days left for WrestleMania, Shane will make his return tonight on the blue brand.

The question remains - will Shane be 100% fit come WrestleMania?

On the bright side, Shane will be teaming up with Bryan, who looked ready to go at it, last week on SmackDown.

Announced matches

Three matches have already been announced for tonight's SmackDown.

WWE Champion AJ Styles will team up with #1 contender Shinsuke Nakamura to face Chad Gable and Shelton Benjamin. Can Styles and Nakamura co-exist before their big match at WrestleMania?

Jinder Mahal will face Rusev ahead of the Fatal-4-Way match for the US Championship at WrestleMania. Expect Orton or Mahal to be ringside for this one.

Finally, SmackDown Women's Champion Charlotte will face Natalya. Could Asuka come out and interfere in the match to build up to their showdown on Sunday?

Undertaker answers Cena's challenge

John Cena was out again on RAW, imploring The Undertaker to respond to his challenge. To everyone's surprise, Undertaker didn't reply.

That begs the question, will be actually be seeing John Cena vs Undertaker at WrestleMania?

Assuming that we will get a Cena vs Undertaker match at WrestleMania, it's safe to assume that Undertaker will answer The Champ's challenge on SmackDown Live.
