Smackdown 1000 was a star-studded affair this Tuesday night in celebration of the WWE blue brand’s tremendous milestone. As promised, names like The Undertaker and Edge made appearances, and the world saw the reunion of Evolution for the first time in several years, but a few surprises snuck their way into the broadcast as well.
Long-time WWE announcer Tony Chimel made a surprise appearance, doing his classic introduction for the “Rated R Suuuuuuperstar”, and Paige played host to a flock of returning Smackdown General Managers including Teddy Long, Vickie Guerrero and “Mr. Excitement” himself, Johnny Ace Laurinaitis!
