Curt Hawkins made his return to television at the No Mercy pay-per-view on Sunday and he announced that he would be wrestling this week on SmackDown.
Hawkins never did end up wrestling on this week’s show, and PWInsider notes that his matched was nixed because of time constraints. Several other segments reportedly went too long forcing his match to be cut, but the plan is for him to wrestle on next week’s episode of SmackDown.
