Will a former SmackDown General Manager join in Monday’s festivities?

July 1, 2016

John Laurinaitis brings "People Power" to The New Era: Raw, June 20, 2016

Big Johnny returns to WWE with big plans for SmackDown when it goes live on July 19.

Once we learned that SmackDown will go live on USA Network Tuesday, July 19, former SmackDown authority figures — including Teddy Long, John Laurinaitis and Corporate Kane — have resurfaced to state why they should head up the blue brand in The New Era. Since Monday will be a celebration no one in the WWE Universe will want to miss, you can bet that at least one former GM will be looking to drop by.

Catch all of the action on a special Fourth of July edition of Raw at 8/7 C on USA Network, and be sure to tune in to Raw Pre-Show at 7:30 ET, only on the award-winning WWE Network.
