WWE Wrestlers on Smallville

KANE and Ashley headed north to Vancouver, B.C., last week to film guest spots on the hit CW series, Smallville. WWE.com was there as the SmackDown Superstars showed off their acting and fighting skills on set.

"KANE is playing Titan, a badass alien cyborg-type creature who escaped from the Phantom Zone," Ashley explained. "I'm playing an ass-kicking babe named Athena. I'm a security guard at the fight club in the prison." [spoiler]

This will be the second episode of Smallville's sixth season that will feature WWE wrestlers guest starring as characters that had escaped from the Phantom Zone at the beginning of the season. The first episode was from November 2006 titled "Static" which featured current World Heavyweight Champion Batista as a "Zoner" called Aldar.

There is no information on whether any other wrestlers may guest star on Smallville this season or next, but with SmackDown! and Smallville both being some of the most popular shows on their network, it seems likely that WWE and the CW will continue to put SmackDown! and maybe other superstars on the CW's more popular shows.

The episode titled "Combat" is set to air on The CW, March 22nd.
