UPDATE: Pro Wrestling Sheet confirms that the Headbangers will be returning to action on Smackdown this Tuesday. The site reports that as it currently stands, the team is set to face Heath Slater and Rhyno, who were previously announced as competing in the Smackdown Tag Team tournament.

It isn’t said whether this will be a one-off appearance or something longer-term. Slater and Rhyno teamed up as late entries in the tournament as revealed on this past Tuesday’s episode.

ORIGINAL: Get ready for the return of the Headbangers…assuming Mosh and Trasher are accurate, of course. The former WWE Tag Team Champions — Chaz “Mosh” Warringon and Glen “Thrasher” Ruth — took to social media and claimed they will be competing on Smackdown. You can see posts from both of them on Facebook below. It’s worth noting though that WWE has yet to confirm the news.

The Headbangers debuted in WWE in 1997 and worked during the Attitude Era, winning the Tag Team Titles for a brief run in their first year. Thrasher is also a former Hardcore champion, while Warrington was the man who briefly became the infamously risque Beaver Cleavage character who was dropped before he even debuted. Warrington teamed with D’Lo Brown as Lowdown for a while before leaving the WWE in 2001. Trasher left in 2000.
