While Flair’s return vignette didn’t indicate exactly when she will return, it’s safe to assume a target date could very well be the 2025 Royal Rumble event.
What we do know about what’s coming next, though, is some of the lineup for next week’s episode of WWE SmackDown.
After their win tonight over Los Garza, The Motor City Machine Guns have earned a shot at the WWE Tag Team Championship. Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin will face Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa, who have been trying to enlist Pretty Deadly to help them avoid having matches with MCMG and The Street Profits as of late.
Also on tap for next week is a monstrous showdown with Braun Strowman against Jacob Fatu and LA Knight against Tama Tonga.
This came about after Fatu and Tonga were beating down on Jimmy Uso and Carmelo Hayes up until Knight and Strowman came out to make the save.

Elsewhere already announced for other shows, just to recap in case you missed it, are that Shawn Michaels will be moderating a contract signing between Cody Rhodes and Kevin Owens at WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event, and Lash Legend & Jakara Jackson will get their WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship shot against Bianca Belair and Naomi on next Tuesday’s episode of NXT.
