Curt Hawkins
PWInsider.com is reporting Curt Hawkins is backstage at tonight’s WWE Smackdown Live television tapings in Dallas.
Hawkins is set to debut on Smackdown in the future, and vignettes have been played to hype his return, but his TV return date remains unconfirmed. Hawkins was also backstage at the Smackdown TV tapings a few weeks ago, but was not used in an on air capacity.
Shane McMahon
At the top of tonight’s WWE Smackdown Live, Shane McMahon was shown talking to Daniel Bryan about last week’s Talking Smack segment with The Miz. Shane says Bryan can’t provoke talent like he did, and should apologize. Bryan says he finds the advice interesting since Shane was attacked by Brock Lesnar and has a beef with him:
