WWE’s Internal Reaction to 6/21 Friday Night SmackDown Episode Revealed

The June 21st edition of Friday Night SmackDown felt like a big deal in many ways for fans and it appears the company itself shared the same sentiment after the show concluded.

This week’s episode of Friday Night SmackDown had a lot going for it, as CM Punk returned to the show and aligned himself with Cody Rhodes against The Bloodline. He would then get brutally beaten up and sent to the hospital by Drew McIntyre.

The show also featured the impactful debut of Jacob Fatu, who utterly decimated Cody Rhodes, Randy Orton and Kevin Owens and aligned himself with The Bloodline to end the show.

According to Fightful Select, WWE sources mentioned that they considered Friday’s episode of SmackDown to be one of the biggest since WrestleMania 40 this year, making it clear it was truly a significant show.

We will have to wait and see whether WWE will be able to top this week’s episode of Friday Night SmackDown this year, as it is quite clear they set a very high standard for themselves.
