It would be interesting to see what Lynch would be up to this week

SmackDown Live had a boost in storytelling post-SummerSlam and as it nears Hell in a Cell, one waits to see where the storyline goes from here.

Follow Sportskeeda for the latest WWE news, rumors and all other wrestling news.

Everyone is talking about how special SummerSlam was and how it has made both the shows fall in the correct order.

I am not too sure about this placebo, but there are a plenty of things that can go wrong. And so many things if done correctly could yield better results.

New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE

As I sit here to point these out, I wonder if the creative team isn't thinking about the same thing.

I am listing out my opinions here, about three things that could go right in the upcoming episode of SmackDown Live and three things that could go wrong as we gear for Hell in a Cell.


#1 Right: The New Day throwing an open challenge for the Tag-Team Championship

The New Day is probably the most celebrated Tag-Team Division in the history of WWE. The New Day has the fans support and has made the Tag-Team Division worth noticing.

The Usos, The Bar, Luke Gallows and Carl Anderson, The Sanity are all worthy fits for the Tag-Team Championship. The New Day could throw in open challenges to make the division more interesting.

Big E, Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston are all talented wrestlers and could form their own stable.

A fun-loving, fan's favourite which will enable other wrestlers who are overshadowed due to the presence of other prominent wrestlers, a chance to be a part of something that is already atop the ladder.


#2 Wrong: SAnitY continues to be undermined

The trio has been underutilised in the main roster

Eric Young, Killian Dain, and Alexander Wolfe are all talented wrestlers who have proved their mettle many times during their time at NXT. SAnitY seems to have lost on so many things after being pushed to the main roster in SmackDown Live.

Even after a promising start against The Usos, SAnitY has been booked really weak in SmackDown and that has been the case with other Tag-Team Divisions that have made their mark to the main roster.

WWE needs to push these stables and make the division more interesting as it already is. The Usos vs New Day will yield great matches but SAnitY vs The New Day will be fresh of a feud.

#3 Right: R-Truth should make more appearances

It is as biased an opinion as it could get but I would like to stick with how talented R-Truth is. I have grown up watching the wrestler make the whole crowd go crazy on "What's up."

R-Truth has been performing great matches on the live circuit but now since he is back for Live television, I do hope R Truth finds a good storyline to make constant appearances on the show.

He is 46 now and hardly has few years of wrestling left in him, considering the fact that Truth is a name that everyone in the WWE universe knows, he deserves a good send off.

Possibly align him in The New Day stable or push him to the US Title. He can certainly give one great match against Shinsuke Nakamura.

#4 Wrong: Asuka continues to be a miss on the show

Asuka sounds like a name in history books now. Ever since making her debut on the main roster, Asuka looked unstoppable.

She went on to win the first ever Women's Royal Rumble.

Asuka can be pitted against Naomi who is having a successful run despite being out of the frame from Women's Championship.

While it's a possibility that some day or other, Asuka will face Becky Lynch (or Charlotte Flair) to bounce back in the Championship line.

But that doesn't mean that a player like Asuka has to sit down in the locker room to wait for her turn.

#5 Right: Becky Lynch and Samoa Joe both need to have respective singles matches

Just promos won't do the magic until these two great heels walk in the arena to thrash an opponent.

AJ Styles and Samoa Joe had an altercation last week and so did Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch.

In what promises to be an outstanding feud, the WWE Universe needs to see the opponents of the respective Championship belts in action.

Coming out in the ring and making the mic do all the talk is interesting but falls for less action as compared to these wrestlers taking out in an amazing match with some other wrestler.

#6 Wrong: Randy Orton vs Jeff Hardy vs Shinsuke Nakamura for the US Title

According to the leaked reports about various matches happening at Hell in a Cell which are doing the rounds.

Randy Orton is set to take on Jeff Hardy in the pay-per-view. The prospect is interesting and throws light on the fact that Orton has only targeted Jeff Hardy despite Nakamura always in the ring.

If this is the Legend Killer gimmick who is set to retire Jeff Hardy because of his constant injuries, I wouldn't want a title on the line.

Title on the line takes away the reason behind the feud. If Randy Orton is set to destroy Jeff Hardy, Nakamura will have to find another good feud to defend his US Title or he could throw open challenges like John Cena with Paul Heyman as his new manager.
