WWE SmackDown 2021 results, recap, : Former champion Strowman surprise return ahead of Royal Rumble.
With the Royal Rumble pay-per-view only two days out, Friday's SmackDown episode aimed to pave the groundwork for the wild essence of the annual spectacle with a show featuring Raw crossovers and a main event with a 10-man tag.
More significant than the match itself, Braun Strowman made a surprising comeback to close the show, putting out all of the men in the main event, and apparently suggesting that he will be participating in the Royal Rumble. Strowman has been out of action since the day after the November Survivor Series.
