Lita is set to return on tonight’s edition of Friday Night SmackDown from Omaha, Nebraska.
The former women’s champion was one of the nineteen entrants announced last week for the women’s Royal Rumble later this month.
They are promoting it as the first SmackDown appearance for Lita in nearly 20 years. Her last match on SmackDown occurred in March 2002 teaming with Trish Stratus against Ivory & Jazz two weeks before the first-ever draft and Lita was a Raw talent from 2002-06.
They have also announced that Seth Rollins will appear on the show for a “face-to-face” segment with WWE Universal champion Roman Reigns prior to their match at the Royal Rumble.
Sami Zayn will introduce a segment called “InZayn” where he tries to “out Jackass Johnny Knoxville”, which will either be the best or worst thing on the show with little room for anything else.
Aliyah will take on Natalya in a singles match with both women part of the Royal Rumble on January 29th.
Rewind-A-SmackDown is live tonight at 11:15 p.m. ET for all POST Wrestling Café members with reviews of SmackDown and AEW Rampage.
