The first episode of 'WWE SmackDown' since WrestleMania 41 featured two championship matches, a major star's return and rapidly built toward WWE's next premium live event, Backlash.

Dickies Arena in Fort Worth will play host to Friday's episode of the blue brand, and there is plenty to digest. On the latest edition of "Monday Night Raw," Undisputed WWE Champion John Cena was planted with an RKO from Randy Orton. Cena is in the building to address the attack from his longtime rival.

The decision for John Cena's heel turn to occur at Elimination Chamber rather than WrestleMania 41 was reportedly made by Cena himself. According to Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Radio (h/t WrestlePurists ), Cena made the call "within the last couple of days" before Elimination Chamber, which forced WWE to reshuffle the show.
