– Mauro Ranallo missed WWE SmackDown for the fourth week in a row this week. As noted, Mauro has been away from WWE TV and social media because of issues related to his battle with depression and bi-polar disorder, something he’s fought since he was a teenager.
– Tonight’s SmackDown saw Erick Rowan made his first WWE appearance since suffering an injury in the fall of 2016. Rowan returned and helped Bray Wyatt double team new WWE Champion Randy Orton until Luke Harper made the save. Harper and Orton will face Rowan and Wyatt in tonight’s main event.
The segment also saw Wyatt challenge Orton to a House of Horrors match. No word yet on the details of that match but we will keep you updated.

– After making an appearance in the Royal Rumble match earlier this year, WWE NXT Superstar Tye Dillinger made his official SmackDown roster debut on tonight’s post-WrestleMania 33 show from Orlando.
Dillinger debuted by answering an open challenge from Curt Hawkins. Tye controlled most of the match and got the easy win with the Tye Breaker.
