Most Noticeable Return: Big Cass

This week's most noticeable return was Big Cass. After suffering a loss to Daniel Bryan at Backlash, Big Cass missed last week's episode of SmackDown Live. Cass returned to SmackDown Live week interrupting a Daniel Bryan promo, which resulted in a scuffle between the two. It looks like WWE may continue with this rivalry, which could be why they've booked Cass into a Money in the Bank Qualifying match on next week's episode of SmackDown Live.
