SmackDown Spoilers For August 28

Haku returned to WWE TV on the July 31st episode of SmackDown and is now managing his sons, Tama Tonga and Talla Tonga.
During an interview on Cheap Heat Radio, Talla revealed that his father was originally scheduled to return on the July 24th episode of SmackDown:
&#8220;It came through Tama first. They had the idea, passed it onto Tama and then passed it on to me. I want to say around SummerSlam, that’s when it became solidified. That’s when my dad started calling like, ‘Hey, I just got hit up, I got a flight coming out.’ I was like, ‘Oh, shoot, so it’s serious then.’ It was around that time.
There had been spread of it before, maybe a week or two after we split from Solo there was probably word of it. But, you know how it is, you hear a word and you don’t really trust it, you just go week by week. You see what happens week by week.
Even then, we were in San Francisco (on July 24 for SmackDown) and he was supposed to debut then. Then they pushed it back to the week of SummerSlam. So he was with us for two weeks, those first two weeks before SummerSlam. You know how it is, everything comes last minute and you just got with it.&#8221;
The MFTs recently won the WWE Tag Team Championship.

Original Plan For Haku’s WWE Return On SmackDown

After tonight&#8217;s RAW went off the air, WWE started taping this week&#8217;s SmackDown.

Spoiler On What Happened With Paige At Tonight’s SmackDown Taping

Tonight&#8217;s WWE RAW took place at Canadian Tire Centre in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, and had a special start time of 6 PM ET. Below are the results:
&#8211; The Usos vs. LA Knight and Solo Sikoa was set up for tonight&#8217;s main event.
&#8211; Stephanie Vaquer def. Roxanne Perez
This was Stephanie&#8217;s in-ring return (her first match since WrestleMania 42). Women&#8217;s World Champion Liv Morgan interfered in the match, which led to Becky Lynch coming out to attack her.
&#8211; AAA Mega Champion Dominik Mysterio and JD McDonagh confronted Rey Mysterio backstage. Je&#8217;Von Evans attacked The Judgment Day.
&#8211; World Heavyweight Championship No.1 Contender&#8217;s Tournament Semi-Final: AAA Cruiserweight Champion Rey Fenix def. Dragon Lee to advance to the Final
&#8211; WWE aired a vignette for former NXT Women&#8217;s Champion Lola Vice&#8217;s main roster debut, where they revealed that she will debut on the September 14th RAW in Mexico City.
&#8211; During their Sunday Night&#8217;s Main Event contract signing, Bron Breakker said the only reason Oba Femi is in this spot is because he got hurt. Oba said Bron would&#8217;ve had a good chance of being the face of WWE in the past, but when Bron faces Oba, Bron&#8217;s chances drastically go down (referring to the Steiner Math promo). Bron gave the contract to Paul Heyman and called Heyman&#8217;s &#8220;Oba&#8217;s daddy&#8221; and told him to sign it. A brawl broke out. Austin Theory joined in. Oba clotheslined Bron out of the ring and put Theory through the table.
