WWE SmackDown recap, review: Hall of Famer Lita returns, more

By Ryan Satin FOX Sports WWE Analyst SmackDown this week featured the return of a Hall of Famer, an intense in-ring segment between former partners and a banger of a match.While it's true that last week’s episode was a bit more momentous due to the monster showdown between WWE Champion Brock Lesnar and Universal Champion Roman Reigns, this week’s show still had plenty to enjoy throughout.Let’s get into the highs and lows of the January 14, 2022 edition of Friday Night SmackDown.SMACKDOWN HIGHSLita and Charlotte Flair I grew up a huge fan of Team Extreme, so anything involving Lita is a highlight for me, especially a segment where she’s interacting with one of the top stars of today and teasing the idea of another run in WWE.Watching one of my all-time favorite female wrestlers trade jabs on the mic with Charlotte Flair felt like one of those video game confrontations you wouldn’t expect to see in 2022, yet it really happened this week — and it was awesome.When Lita was first announced for the Rumble, I assumed it would be nothing more than a legends spot in the match and didn't give it much thought.
