3 Biggest things we could see on SmackDown this week - Unexpected return, Huge confrontation 

#2 Braun Strowman attacks Sami Zayn, challenges Shinsuke Nakamura to an Intercontinental Championship match

As previously stated, the company managed to give the WWE Universe a glimpse of what's next for Shinsuke Nakamura and his Intercontinental Championship during last week's episode of SmackDown Live. Last week, when Sami Zayn was trying to convince Daniel Bryan to turn heel once again and join him in a faction, Braun Strowman appeared. 'The Monster Among Men' and 'The King of Strong Style' then engaged in a stare down.

At Survivor Series, Nakamura will be involved in a Triple Threat Match against Roderick Strong and AJ Styles, but he could very well be challenged for the Intercontinental Championship before this Sunday.

Zayn said some things about Braun Strowman last week which may have triggered 'The Monster Among Men.' Therefore, it is quite possible that Strowman attacks Zayn during one of those backstage interviews and challenges Nakamura to an Intercontinental Championship match on next week's SmackDown.

This would be the perfect way to hype up the WWE Universe to tune in to next week' post-Survivor Series episode of Friday Night SmackDown.
