Smackdown Summarization: Two Teasers Intimate Upcoming Debut of Previous AEW Stars
WWE SmackDown Revisited: New Faces on the Horizon?
The atmosphere at the Olympic Arena in Barcelona, Spain, was electric, thanks to the passionate fans. While the Street Profits' triumph over DIY for the tag team championships was a spectacle, it was a pair of enigmatic vignettes that truly left an impression. These short videos, aired during the program, have sparked much debate among fans, with many speculating they are preludes to the entrance of some long-awaited AEW stars into WWE.
Fenix – Brotherly Reunion or Rivalry?
With Penta already making a big impact, including a memorable run in the Royal Rumble, the arrival of Rey Fenix has been eagerly anticipated. The two are real-life brothers and have a history together, especially during their time in AEW. Once this vignette played on SmackDown, it seems Fenix is not far off.
The question on everyone's mind is whether Fenix will join forces with Penta or create tension between the siblings. At this point, it appears they will reignite their tag team and engage in a feud with Ludwig Kaiser and Pete Dunne, who have been causing issues for Penta as of late. Fenix's entrance could mirror the impact Penta had, setting the stage for a tag team title run or even individual achievements.
Penta and Fenix are two of the most electrifying in-ring performers in professional wrestling. It's thrilling to see them given the opportunity to showcase their talents on WWE's grand stage, particularly considering the current level of exposure the company is enjoying.
The Mystery of '4': Is It Black or Hikuleo?
The second vignette was more vague in nature, with some believing it is connected to the return of Aleister Black, also known as Malakai Black. With his AEW contract now expired and rumors swirling about his potential comeback to WWE, the cryptic '4' vignette, featuring footsteps, aligns with the timing of his availability and WWE's interest in re-signing him.
If the '4' vignette isn't linked to Black, the only other performer it could possibly pertain to is Hikuleo. However, there is no significant speculation linking Hikuleo to similar teasers or rumors within WWE. The significance of the '4' remains unclear in relation to Hikuleo.
As WWE is currently on a high-profile European tour, the answers to these questions may be revealed before the end of the month when the promotion returns to the United States.
