WWE has announced that former AEW star Rey Fenix is slated to make his in-ring debut for the promotion on Friday’s episode of SmackDown. However, his opponent wasn’t announced.
On a recent edition of SportsKeeda’s Backstage Pass Q&A, WrestleVotes reported that there was supposed to be a segment on SmackDown with Andrade being told about a new talent coming to SmackDown three weeks ago, but it was nixed. This may indicate that Andrade could be Fenix’s opponent.
“Don’t know for sure but I can go back to the SmackDown three weeks ago, the one from Italy. Written in the show before the Liv Morgan vs. Jade Cargill match, there was to be a backstage segment with Nick Aldis telling Andrade that there are new talent coming to SmackDown, and he would want him to work with them first. That segment got cut. It was not supposed to be on last week’s show, so I don’t know where it stands. However, that would indicate to me that at least they had plans, at the minimum, for Andrade vs. Rey Fenix. We’ll see if that happens.”
