The next episode of WWE SmackDown, which will be held on Friday, April 24, and will be the first after WrestleMania 42, already has a big name confirmed.

On her official X account, Paige, the new WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion alongside Brie Bella, confirmed she’ll be appearing on this week’s show, which will take place at Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, Texas.

“SmackDown on Friday, then I’m off to McAllen for my autograph signing on Saturday and Sunday. See you there! 🖤⚡️”

Other names officially confirmed by WWE are Cody Rhodes, Randy Orton, Drew McIntyre, Jade Cargill, and Tiffany Stratton.

Paige made her return to WWE on Night 1 of WrestleMania 42 on April 18, replacing Nikki Bella.

In a recent social media post, Paige got emotional talking about her return and said she never imagined WWE would take her back, especially in a title match at the Showcase of Immortals.
