  @robert franklin These superstars on the upper half are happening but the other half either already happened or wasn't confirmed at all,
  CM Punk vs. Bron Breakker happened last week, Seth Rollins is waiting to be cleared to return, & as for Priest vs. Black it already happened multiple times last year and two weeks ago, and The Bloodline vs. OG Bloodline happened at the beginning of last year

  @robert franklin Most of these superstars aren't even on Raw and we haven't had a mixed tag match in WWE since Wrestlepalooza which was The Vision vs. CM Punk & AJ lee
  Drew Mcintyre, Shinsuke Nakamura, The Wyatt Sicks, The MFT's, & Alexa Bliss are on Smackdown

Breaking News: Powerhouse Hobbs will be a free agent at Midnight!!! He's currently one of the Trios Tag Team champions along with Samoa Joe & Katsuyori Shibata.
What could this mean? With AEW collision tapings happening tonight. I wonder if the opps are gonna drop the titles to Hangman Adam Page & Jetspeed (Mike Bailey & Kevin Knight)
Guess we'll see.

Honestly all the tag teams besides the Usos, Wyatt Sicks, Judgment Day, the New Day, and The MFTs have been a no show

Rey Fenix might (a big might) be Low card

Matt Cardona hasn’t shown up on Smackdown since his match with Kit Wilson so probably a Low Card for him

  @Robert Gray We can't call Matt Cardona a low-card, he returned 2 weeks ago, and he's going against Trick Williams for a WWE Championship qualifying match.

Stacks hasn't got the heritage cup coming out with him for matches and I think they have deactivated the cup so they won't use it again.

I don't think Roman counts as a SmackDown superstar anymore. He's had far more appearances on Raw than SmackDown in 2025.

many new debuts and signings to the NXT roster tonight. swipe right (brad baylor, ricky smokes), jackson drake, keanu carver, eli knight.
after about 3 months, jaida parker has returned to tv. she's a face or a tweener, and set to feud with blake monroe.
also - OTM might be tweeners? maybe not, but they worked with joe hendry against heel dark state and didn't betray him or go back on him. worth considering.

Brock is most likely inactive until next appearance
Bayley is most likely a regular face
Seth could be a tweener (don’t know for sure) but because of The Vision turning on him
