11) Rusev Did NOT Return

Last week on Smackdown Live, Rusev announced that he would be returning to confront Shane McMahon on the show this week to get his answer.

Rusev did NOT appear on this weeks episode of Smackdown. He says he was at the NHL game:

Sorry #SmackDownLIVE I had to make the @PredsNHL game. See you when I see you.

Maybe they scrapped the idea or maybe they are saving him for Backlash?

12) Jinder Made A Statement

On Smackdown Live this week, Randy Orton defeated Baron Corbin. After it was over, Jinder Mahal and the Singh Brothers would beat down Orton before their match on Sunday at Backlash for the WWE Title.

Not only did Jinder defeat AJ Styles earlier in the night, he also took out the WWE Champion.

What a STATEMENT as @JinderMahal lays out @RandyOrton with the #Khallas to send the ultimate message before #WWEBacklash! pic.twitter.com/u15jvLBrpG

Jinder is looking VERY strong heading into Backlash.
