WWE has already announced that they will be running shows with live fans in attendance starting from the July 16 Smackdown episode. The process of hyping the upcoming touring schedule has started as Raw plugged in the same news on multiple occasions. Plus, it appears that multiple returns are set to happen this summer to shake things up, big-time.
WWE Hall of Famer Edge is scheduled to make his WWE return in the coming weeks. A new WWE website advertisement for the July 16 SmackDown on FOX episode from the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas has listed the likes of Edge, Sasha Banks, WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns, SmackDown Women’s Champion Bianca Belair, SmackDown Tag Team Champions Rey Mysterio and Dominik Mysterio, and Big E.
