4 Biggest Shockers WWE Could Be Planning For SmackDown Live

After delivering a wondrous edition of Monday Night Raw, WWE could be looking to drive the same momentum tonight for another solid episode of SmackDown Live.

The creative team could be preparing something interesting tonight. 'The New' Daniel Bryan will be involved in a blockbuster contract signing with Kofi Kingston for the eco-friendly WWE Championship.

Moreover, we will be seeing Aleister Black and Ricochet continue their alliance, as the two NXT sensations lock horns with the recently established force of Shinsuke Nakamura and Rusev.

Since Roman Reigns and Batista's epic returns have gravitated much of the emphasis within the internet wrestling community, WWE could be looking to bring some serious attention on their next pay-per-view, Fastlane.

In order to garner the maximum attention, the company would be looking to pull off a shocking edition of SmackDown Live tonight. So, will Vince McMahon keep us hooked to the edge of our seats and produce a massive shocker tonight? Let's find out.

Here are the 4 biggest shockers WWE could be planning for SmackDown Live.

#1 The Planet's Champion causes New Day to implode

Will Bryan be successful?

There's no denying that 'The New' Daniel Bryan has been very clinical in accumulating nuclear heat from the WWE Universe as the eco-friendly WWE Champion.

With Kofi Kingston shockingly earning his way to a WWE Championship bout at Fastlane, there's bound to be a time when Bryan tries to implode The New Day.

Since he's portraying a conniving heel, the creative team could ascend Kofi's credibility as an underdog by coercing a misunderstanding between the popular babyface faction.

An angle of this magnitude would definitely keep the fans hooked to the edge of their seats, and with Kingston having the momentum of his life on his side, we could be in for a special edition of SmackDown Live tonight.

#2 Samoa Joe puts R-Truth to sleep and wins the United States Championship

Does Joe deserve this?

Let's get something straight here - Samoa Joe has been one of the most underutilized workers on the entire main roster, if not the most.

Despite being such a proficient villain, the Destroyer has not been able to grow as a performer on SmackDown Live, with legions of fans expecting the creative team to maximize their investment in Joe.

Since R-Truth has been absent for a while, it would be an ideal prospect to put the gold on someone else, and a guy like Joe would only make it more meaningful.

The former NXT Champion has not received the credit he deserves on the main roster, and with his credibility continuing to diminish on the blue brand, winning the United States Championship could put things in perspective for a while.

Considering that R-Truth is enacting the role of an interactive babyface, putting the United States Champion to sleep tonight would be literally astonishing.

#3 Andrade 'Cien' Almas joins forces with Shinsuke Nakamura and Rusev to attack Aleister Black and Ricochet

Will this prove catastrophic?

It's commendable that the creative team have effectively blended professional wrestling with sports entertainment ever since the recently recruited NXT superstars have made their way to the main roster.

Considering that Aleister Black was successful in outmatching Andrade 'Cien' Almas last week on the blue brand, Almas could retaliate in order to ignite a blockbuster feud.

While the recent performances of the NXT Call-ups have been incredible, inserting them into credible feuds would be influential in keeping the viewers entertained and intrigued.

With Shinsuke Nakamura and Rusev advertised to tussle it out with Ricochet and Aleister Black tonight, the Mexican Sensation could join forces with Nakamura and Rusev and make a solid statement.

For the sake of storyline, this makes a lot of sense. With Fastlane approaching, this would be an ideal prospect to keep all the underutilized superstars on the card and keep the Road to WrestleMania 35 unpredictable.

#4 A.J. Styles retaliates and gives Randy Orton a taste of his own medicine 'out of nowhere'

The Phenomenal One needs to retaliate

While the WWE have already planted the seeds, we could be seeing another heated collision between A.J. Styles and Randy Orton tonight on SmackDown Live.

The Phenomenal One is without a feud at the moment and with Kofi Kingston endorsed to slug it out with Daniel Bryan for the WWE Championship, it would be ideal for the company to push the envelope with the former WWE Champion tonight.

Despite being a clinical heel, Orton has been directionless as well. Since both the performers are reportedly locked in to go on a collision course for WrestleMania 35, A.J. Styles' retaliation could play a pivotal role in advancing the narrative.

Considering that Monday Night Raw was so incredible last night, A.J. Styles' 'out of nowhere' ambush would be fantastic in settling the scores between the two whilst promoting Orton as a conniving antagonist.
