WWE SmackDown - 5 Possible surprises- Massive face turn, Brock Lesnar teams up with former WWE Champion to attack Adam Pearce

WWE SmackDown promised us Roman Reigns vs. Sami Zayn when the show got underway. By the time it concluded, we did get the match, but it was a very one-sided affair, not exactly the classic we expected.

We know that RAW scored the worst ever numbers in the 18-49 demographic last week. All eyes will be on WWE SmackDown to see how the company is able to bounce back. How it can remind the world that World Wrestling Entertainment is still the premier destination for sports entertainment.

So, with that said, here are fibe surprises that could potentially take place on WWE SmackDown. Be sure to weigh in on the surprises mentioned and hey, feel free to play fantasy booker and list down some of your own.

#5 Sami Zayn turns face on WWE SmackDown to battle Roman Reigns

You're only a conspiracy theory nut when your theories are unfounded, when you're spouting nonsense, when what you're saying does not make sense. But look at how Sami Zayn has been treated in the recent past. His crowning moment after winning the Black Friday Battle Royale was overshadowed by Brock Lesnar's return announcement.

Moreover, he was forced to compete in the WWE SmackDown main event match last week when he was not fit to compete. Brock Lesnar had his way with him and then Roman Reigns finished him off. The setup is perfect for Sami Zayn to turn face and finally take the fight to Roman Reigns.

Yes, we know Zayn as a heel because he plays one so well. But there is something likable about this WWE SmackDown Superstar for sure. If he turns babyface, the crowd may just accept him and root for him to dethrone the tribal chief, Roman Reigns.

#4 Adam Pearce enlists the entire WWE SmackDown roster for protection

Two superstars on WWE SmackDown have a bone to pick with Adam Pearce. One of them is Brock Lesnar, who's a beast of a man. The other is Drew McIntyre, a Scottish warrior who carries a sword. Pearce may not be as enthusiastic to show up at work as he is during other weeks!

Maybe he asks the entire WWE SmackDown roster to help take these two men down. A few bribes, a few favors could go a long way!

#3 Brock Lesnar and Drew McIntyre team up to cause carnage

But can the entire WWE SmackDown roster, in turn, stand up to Drew McIntyre and Brock Lesnar? The two big men could steamroll through the entire division and leave them lying in a pile on the mat.

Eventually, this newfound friendship could lead to a feud between the two men, but imagine the coalition until then. This may be the most dominant partnership since The Brothers of Destruction. Maybe even a notch above!

#2 Naomi forms a brand new alliance

During WWE SmackDown last week, we saw how things between Naomi and Sonya Deville intensified. While they're clearly on the warpath, it may be a while before Deville returns to the ring again.

Until then, if Deville has Shayna Baszler to do her bidding on WWE SmackDown for now, then Naomi could potentially team up with Sasha Banks. Banks and Baszler tore it up last week, so this is a readymade storyline!

#1 Shinsuke Nakamura finally has a challenger from the WWE SmackDown roster

This is one WWE SmackDown surprise that must come to pass! Because sometimes it seems like the company has forgotten that the Intercontinental Champion is still a part of the roster.

Sheamus and Ridge Holland have formed a strong alliance on WWE SmackDown which is gaining steam with every passing week.

Could the two men come after Shinsuke Nakamura and Rick Boogs, making the mid-card feel important once again? Imagine just how hard-hitting, how 'strong style' this match could potentially be if it actually came to pass.
