It's imperative that on the go-home show of SmackDown, WWE Superstars who are meant to take part in Money in the Bank make their presence felt. That was indeed the case on the Blue brand this week where participants of most matches for the PPV were involved inside the squared circle. But some of the results just gave away what was likely to happen during Money in the Bank this Sunday.

MITB results possibly hinted at on SmackDown?

If you've watched WWE programming for long enough, you probably know that the Superstars who come out on top during go-home shows end up falling short on the subsequent PPV that follows.

Tamina pinned Bayley during the tag team match on SmackDown this week. Most fans expected the latter to retain her SmackDown Women's Championship at Money in the Bank anyway and this result kind of makes it more obvious.

Miz & Morrison also came out on top in an eight-man tag team match. The duo has taken pins in the last few weeks and a possible split between the two is on the cards. So Miz & Morrison winning a preview fixture for the exact same match at Money in the Bank hints at the fact that they won't be becoming SmackDown Tag Team Champions this Sunday.

Even King Corbin climbing a ladder and grabbing the briefcase to end the show could be a hint that he's not going to win the ladder match at WWE HQ.

I know that as of now it's speculation at best, but fans are likely to be wary.
