3 Shockers that WWE could be planning for SmackDown after Fastlane 2019

WWE Fastlane is over and now the road is clear as we head into WrestleMania 35, even though the show had its positives and negatives, but overall the event was exciting to watch with great matches.

Some of the highlights of the show: The Shield's reunion was successful after they defeated the team of Baron Corbin, Bobby Lashley and Drew McIntyre in the main event. Becky Lynch was reinserted in the Raw Women's Title Match at WrestleMania 35 making it a triple threat.

Now the focus comes to SmackDown following the pay-per-view, as normally both the shows feature some shocking moments when they happen after an event like this. Last month after Elimination Chamber, WWE introduced four of the top NXT stars to the main roster.

Something similar can happen on this week's SmackDown after Fastlane, there could be new debuts or returns happening on both the shows. So here are three shockers that could happen on SmackDown Live this week.

#3 Lacey Evans begins a feud with SmackDown Women's Champion Asuka

Lacey Evans could begin a feud with Asuka.

Asuka retained her SmackDown Women's Title against Mandy Rose at Fastlane with some assistance from Rose's partner Sonya Deville. Now, she is set to defend her title at the Show of Shows next month.

While it's possible that Asuka continues will feuding with Rose, but now it looks like Rose will be feuding with Deville instead. Also, WWE does not need to repeat this match for another pay-per-view, especially not at WrestleMania.

Now, the SmackDown women's division has been stale since Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch have been preoccupied on Raw. There is hardly any great women's wrestler other than the champion who is capable enough to challenge the Empress.

One name who could possibly face Asuka at WrestleMania is Lacey Evans. She is rumored to get a "super big push" and was also expected to face Asuka at WrestleMania this year. If these rumors are true, then we could begin the build to this match on SmackDown.

#2 Sami Zayn returns and attacks Kevin Owens

Sami Zayn could return to SmackDown.

Kevin Owens lost his WWE Title match at Fastlane against the champion Daniel Bryan and Mustafa Ali, who was later added to this match to make it a triple threat. Ali also took the pinfall from Bryan, which means Owens could demand his title shot on SmackDown.

But, Bryan could possibly face Kingston at WrestleMania, so build-upd up to this feud will likely begin on SmackDown this week. This means WWE will not put Owens in the title picture any longer, in the meantime, Owens could reignite his feud with a returning Sami Zayn

Zayn has been rumored to return very soon for several months. He had injured both of his rotator cuffs back in June and has been recovering for six months. Recently, he was seen training in the Performance Center in Florida.

A feud between a babyface Owens and heel Zayn sounds really interesting, the fans have always loved their matches. Both of theses stars have competed all over the world, so a showdown at the grandest stage of them all, needs to happen.

#1 Vince McMahon orders Shane McMahon to assault Kofi Kingston

Shane McMahon after turning heel at Fastlane.

Well, Fastlane had to be the most disappointing pay-per-view for Kofi Kingston's entire career. Not only was he replaced from his WWE Title match a few weeks back, but he was again cheated by Vince McMahon at the event.

Vince had informed Kingston that the WWE Title match will be a triple threat, but later when Kingston entered in the ring his opponents turned out to be The Bar who defeated him in a 2-on-1 handicap match.

As noted, Kingston is highly expected to face Bryan for the WWE Title at the Show of Shows, so this storyline between Kingston and Vince is definitely leading to this match. But Vince could be helped by his son Shane McMahon who also is involved in a major storyline.

Shane McMahon turned heel and attacked The Miz after losing their SmackDown Tag Team Titles rematch against The Usos. With Vince and Shane both being heels, they can possibly work together in these storylines.

Vince can once again troll Kingston by giving him a WWE Title match in the main event of the night, only to be cheated again. Then Vince can order Shane to assault Kingston, this would give more heat to Shane and more sympathy to Kingston.
