WWE News: More Names For SmackDown 1000, Update On Edge’s Status

We’re now just two days away from the anticipated 1000th episode of WWE’s SmackDown, emanating from the Capital One Arena in Washington D.C.

The WWE has loaded up with appearances to honor the history of the blue brand, announcing The Undertaker for the show, as well as Batista returning to reunite with Triple H, Ric Flair and Randy Orton as Evolution. Additionally, Rey Mysterio makes his official WWE return and will face off against United States Champion Shinsuke Nakamura in a World Cup Qualifer.

On top of all of that, others such as Kane, Teddy Long, Vickie Guerrero, Torrie Wilson and Michelle McCool have all been advertised or reported to appear. Last week, it was revealed by WWE that Hall Of Famer Edge would be back to host an edition of his talk show, The Cutting Edge, however all references to that have now been removed from WWE.com. This led to speculation that the ‘Rated R Superstar’ might no longer be appearing, but today PWInsider has confirmed that he is still scheduled for SmackDown 1000.

Additionally, PWInsider notes that two more legendary names have been added for the event as Big Show will be back after returning to the ring on the blue brand last week, as well as WWE Hall Of Famer Booker T. As for the possibility of The Rock showing up at the Capital One Arena, it’s being said that due to filming ‘Hobbes & Shaw’ in London, if he is on SmackDown 1000 it very likely will be a video.
