Very early Smackdown creative plans (Patreon)

Smackdown ROLLS ON in Orlando, Florida.

The New Day and Viking Raiders program is set to continue on Friday's Smackdown, with New Day planned to play off of Viking Raiders' former fun-loving persona. Fightful Select learned that original plans as of Thursday night called for New Day to dress up as the duo, mocking them. 

We've learned Drew McIntyre, Theory, Sheamus, Xavier Woods, Street Profits, Riddle, MVP, Viking Raiders, Usos, New Day, Liv Morgan, Natalya, Madcap Moss were scheduled for Smackdown Friday. Plans also called for the special guest referee for Usos/Street Profits to be revealed.

It's worth noting, these can change, and often do. This past Monday, an Elias appearance was prepared for the show itself, but didn't end up happening.
