WWE SmackDown Spoilers: 4 Surprises to expect on tonight's show - Two major returns; Jacob Fatu's new team

This week's episode of SmackDown will not air live as usual. The episode was pre-taped after this week's episode of Monday Night RAW. Since it was pre-taped, the results have already been spoiled before its global release. The show was filled with surprises, including the returns of two major stars.

Let's take a look at four surprises fans can expect on tonight's episode of SmackDown:

#4. Jimmy Uso teams up with Jacob Fatu

Jacob Fatu shocked the world by betraying Solo Sikoa at the Money in the Bank Premium Live Event. Following that, Solo challenged Jacob for the United States Championship at Night of Champions. At the event, with the help of a returning Tonga Loa, a debuting Tala Tonga, and JC Mateo, Solo defeated The Samoan Werewolf to win the title.

During the latest SmackDown tapings, Jimmy Uso helped Jacob even the odds against Solo's new Bloodline. He teamed up with Fatu to help him pin the current United States Champion.

#3. Trish Stratus returns

Tiffany Stratton has been at the top of SmackDown's women's division for a long time. She came out on the Friday Night Show to address Jade Cargill, who won the Queen of the Ring Tournament and will potentially challenge her at SummerSlam. While confronting Jade, Tiffany showed interest in defending her title at Evolution.

She issued a challenge to Hall of Famer and legend Trish Stratus. Stratus came out and accepted the challenge from the Buff Barbie. They will face off at WWE's all-women's PLE next week in Atlanta.

This will be Stratus' first match since this year's Elimination Chamber, where she teamed up with Stratton to face Nia Jax and Candice LeRae.
