• Batista & Another Major Name Was Backstage At Last Night’s SmackDown

As seen on last night’s episode of SmackDown, John Cena and Charlotte Flair returned to WWE programming.

Flair pinned Ronda Rousey to win the SmackDown Women’s Championship, while Cena teamed up with Kevin Owens to defeat Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns & Sami Zayn of The Bloodline.

After SmackDown went off the air, Sami & The Usos attacked Cena & Owens. This led to Drew McIntyre, Sheamus, Butch & Ridge Holland making the save.

Cena then ended the night by hitting an AA to The Honorary Uce! You can watch it below:

Cena also cut a promo, where he talked about how his streak of wrestling at least one match in WWE every year since his debut in 2002 is still alive.

2-Time WWE Hall Of Famer Ric Flair and soon to be Hall Of Famer Batista (both fellow Evolution members) were backstage at this event.

Flair was there to see the return of his daughter, while Batista were there to meet everybody, and possibly discuss his upcoming Hall Of Fame induction (which was supposed to happen in 2021).

Below are a couple of photos of Batista with Titus O’Neil backstage:
