• SmackDown Wrestler Teases Return Of Tag Team
The Forgotten Sons made their WWE main roster debut in April, and were taken off WWE programming just a month later due to Jaxson Ryker’s controversial comments on Twitter.
The team was scheduled to feud with The New Day for the SmackDown Tag Team Championship after Money In The Bank, but the plan was scrapped because of the heat Ryker got backstage.
Ryker finally broke silence and took to Instagram to tease the trio’s return on the day of the debut of WWE ThunderDome.
“Forgotten Sons….. Time to return. @wwe #wwesmackdown #CantStopUs”
It will be interesting to see how WWE deals with them, as Steve Cutler and Wesley Blake had distanced themselves from Ryker after he sparked controversy on Twitter.
