Former WWE Star Elijah Burke, better known to TNA fans for his stint with the company under the ring name Da Pope” D’Angelo Dinero was backstage at SmackDown this week.

Kofi Kingston posted the photo of him and Burke, who last wrestled for WWE in 2008, from the backstage of the show on his Twitter account as seen below:

Great seeing my friend and former travel partner @TrueKofi at Smackdown Live, but I gotta ask," Why the surprised look?" ~PHS #WWE #SmackDownLive #RealDealPope #TheRealDealBoxing pic.twitter.com/CLCFVPFGMB

Burke ended his run with the company now known as Impact Wrestling back in August last year where he worked as a part-time wrestler and announcer.

No word yet on if his presence backstage had a significant meaning or he was just visiting his friends but the later appears to be a more likely scenario.
