Bengaluru, February 7: With less than three weeks left for the next pay-per-view in the WWE calendar, Friday Night SmackDown will gear up for a show with a massive return scheduled on the card.
WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg will make his comeback in the headliner segment of the show, where a blockbuster announcement is expected in the form of his next in-ring competition.
Two more returns have been kept in-store for SmackDown as the current Universal Champion as well as the former contender for the title will show up after a hiatus of a week.
Plus, a new rivalry in the women's division is also expected to begin tonight at the SAP Center in San Jose, California, where a talk show will find it's way back to the TV.
Sony TEN 1 will telecast WWE Friday Night SmackDown live in India from 6.30 AM IST on Saturday (February 8), while the repeat airs later in the day at 1 PM, 5 PM and 10 PM.

This would be his first-time show-up since squashing Dolph Ziggler in SummerSlam 2019 to declare his next opponent, as hinted by the official website,
"Who’s next for Goldberg?
"We’re about to find out. As revealed on Raw, the former Universal Champion and Hall of Famer’s next moves will be revealed this Friday on SmackDown, where he’ll provide the WWE Universe’s answer to that eternal question: “Who’s next?”
"Tune in to Friday Night SmackDown, live this Friday at 8/7 C on FOX."
Also, @WWEBrayWyatt's #RoyalRumble opponent, @WWEDanielBryan, will make his return to the blue brand to discuss his in-ring future. #SmackDown https://t.co/Ks66kzBAqu

It should be noted that once the torturous act of The Fiend ended, Bryan was unable to walk down the ramp on his own. In such a condition, the leader of the YES nation is set to return on SmackDown to give a hint on what's next in his career,
"Bryan, whose body was covered in wounds after the contest, openly contemplated if his in-ring career was “worth it” following the defeat, but the leader of The “Yes!” Movement will be back on SmackDown this week. What will he have to say following such a tough defeat and open contemplation of what’s next? Find out this Friday night on FOX!"

Did you miss him? @WWEBrayWyatt's #FireflyFunhouse returns to the blue brand next week. YOWIE WOWIE! https://t.co/QikmNR8hZG
With WrestleMania fast approaching, WWE might consider Super ShowDown as a filler PPV and thereby chances are high that another title rematch between Bryan and Wyatt could be announced. As it stands, Wyatt is being advertised to host a new episode of Firefly Funhouse.

Last week, WWE Universe was delighted to see the return of Naomi on SmackDown after a long time. She came out to face the SmackDown Women’s Champion who was gloating over her big win against Lacey Evans at Royal Rumble 2020.
With this feud coming to an end, it's time for a new challenger to step up and reserve the contender's spot. Naomi looks to be a perfect fit for this position and is expected to start a new feud with Bayley for the women’s title.
I told you! @ShinsukeN got these hands and I got this title! Good luck trying to stop this train now! #Smackdown pic.twitter.com/4Ai4XsJwhr
