– As noted, Zack Ryder returned to WWE SmackDown on last night’s show after going down with a knee injury in December. He reunited with “Hype Bros.” partner Mojo Rawley in a backstage segment. Below is video of the team talking to JBL and Renee Young on last night’s Talking Smack episode.
JBL asks Mojo, who won the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal at WrestleMania 33, if he wants to return to tag team action when he’s this hot as a singles wrestler. Mojo says they became #1 contenders in December for a reason as a lot of hard work went into the match and they earned the opportunity. Ryder interrupts and goes on about how they earned the title shot.
JBL asks again if the tag team is the best idea for both of them. Ryder says they both have proven that they’re fantastic competitors on their own but they earned a SmackDown Tag Team Title shot and it would be stupid not to go after it. Mojo says their time apart has only made them better as he’s become a better performer while Ryder has been injured and Ryder has had enough time away from the game to clear his head and work on things he needed to work on. Mojo says Ryder is ready to go. Ryder says SmackDown Commissioner Shane McMahon wasn’t here this week and they do still need to talk to him about the title shot but they both believe it’s owed to them.
– WWE has a new poll asking fans which match are they most looking forward to at Sunday’s Money In the Bank pay-per-view.

Lol ok sweetie..here’s a tip, some of us don’t like @WWE or their bs politics. We’re happier where we’re at.

Let ME give you a tip amateur. @WWE is the Top of the Mountain in Pro Wrestling. A view you’ll never deserve or get to enjoy. #Facts

And your sorry ass was positioned at the top thanks to family.
You were handed your position. You never earned it.

Yea I guess working my butt off 5 days a week while being away from my wife and kids for the last 7 years is being “handed” it. #DumbAssMark

How about the other guys that work their butt off and get away from their wife and kids for years too and still jobbing?
— Androctonus (@FX7scorpion) June 13, 2017
Oh yea, ??I forgot they are “jobbing” for free! ??Clueless #DumbAssMark. BTW all our schedules and responsibilities aren’t the same. #B2R
