Daniel Bryan will appear on Miz TV tonight as two of WWE's oldest enemies go face to face on SmackDown.

The Miz was sent to team blue as part of last week's Superstar Shake-up, and will make his debut live on Sky Sports Arena at 1am as a guest on the chat-show segment, which has also made the move between brands.

His first guest will be Bryan, with whom there exists a long history of enmity, dating back to the first season of NXT in 2010 and reaching its hottest point during an unforgettable episode of Talking Smack in which The Miz went on such a long and impassioned rant that Bryan - at the time the SmackDown general manager - left the set.

The two also went nose-to-nose during Raw 25 and with Bryan again cleared to compete in the ring, their rivalry could be on the verge of being reignited.

Asuka to make SmackDown debut

The Empress of Tomorrow returns to in-ring action two weeks after losing her undefeated streak at WrestleMania and with a whole new roster of opponents against whom she will bid to return to winning ways.

Her first assignment sees her pair up with Becky Lynch to take on the IIconics - Billie Kay and Peyton Royce - who have made quite the impact on SmackDown.

On their debut they cost Charlotte Flair her title and will be hoping to exert their unique influence on the main roster after an excellent spell in NXT.

Flair and Carmella to sign contract

Carmella completed a successful Money In The Bank cash-in on SmackDown a fortnight ago to steal the women's title from Charlotte Flair.

Flair was in a weakened state after being attack by The IIconics before Carmella seized her moment to trade the briefcase for championship gold.

The dethroned champ will get a rematch at Backlash - live on Sky Sports Box Office on May 6 - but first the duo must complete the necessary paperwork. Which is rarely a straightforward procedure...
