For tonight's WWE Smackdown 1000 in Washington D.C., we have learned that the following names are backstage and scheduled to be appearing on the show:
- Booker T
- Jerry "The King" Lawler
- JBL
- Mark Henry
For those wondering, Jim Ross was not invited to Smackdown 1000 and he will not be there.
Also for what it's worth, as of this morning, there is no sign or no word of The Rock being there tonight, and the suggestion seems to be that he will appear via satellite/video with a recorded message, but anything can happen so we'll try and get more info later today.
