5 possible endings to WWE SmackDown tonight

The upcoming edition of WWE SmackDown will mark the first episode since last weekend's 2024 Crown Jewel Premium Live Event. A lot transpired during the Saudi Arabia show, which set up a lot of possibilities for the upcoming episode tonight.

At the 2024 Crown Jewel, Solo Sikoa's Bloodline defeated The Usos and Roman Reigns' reunited OG Bloodline, ending with Sami Zayn joining the group but accidentally attacking The Original Tribal Chief. Also, Cody Rhodes defeated Gunther to be the inaugural Crown Jewel Champion. Tiffany Stratton attempted to cash in on Nia Jax, while Kevin Owens and Randy Orton's match didn't happen as both men just brawled in the arena. Tonight on WWE SmackDown, the aftermath of everything that went down in Riyadh can finally take place.

For this list, we will look at five possible endings for WWE SmackDown tonight.

#5. The Original Bloodline can reunite completely

Although The Usos and Roman already reunited at the 2024 Crown Jewel, they aren't still a united front. They are missing another vital member: Sami Zayn. However, that can finally change tonight.

Sami was invited by Jey Uso to the upcoming episode of WWE SmackDown to talk with Reigns and hopefully resolve their issues. While it doesn't automatically mean they will be on good terms, or that Zayn will even attend, they will be reunited enough to take on Solo Sikoa.

#4. The Bloodline could brawl, setting up a match at Survivor Series

The issue between Solo Sikoa and Roman Reigns' Bloodlines won't end yet despite facing each other at the 2024 Crown Jewel. Tonight, the action between both groups may continue.

While Roman and Sami Zayn attempt to talk and resolve their issues, Solo Sikoa's group can attack them to ensure nothing can come to fruition. However, Reigns' group fights back, which causes a brawl that grabs Nick Aldis' attention. The General Manager can then decide to set up a WarGames match between the two groups to hopefully contain their issues.

#3. Paul Heyman to return on WWE SmackDown

Paul Heyman hasn't been seen on WWE television since he was attacked in June by Solo's group after refusing to acknowledge him as the new Tribal Chief. Fans have been waiting for his return since then, and it can finally occur tonight.

After the Hall of Famer can see that Sikoa's group is growing stronger each day while Reigns and his circle continue to disagree, he can return to mend the bridges with The Usos and Sami.

#2. Kevin Owens to set up a match against Cody Rhodes

As mentioned above, Kevin and Randy's match last weekend didn't take place as both men just had a massive brawl in the arena. However, Orton got the worst of it, which means his presence on WWE SmackDown may be uncertain.

If Randy Orton isn't available for SmackDown tonight, Owens can put his attention to Cody Rhodes instead and resume their feud by attacking the champion. After this, The American Nightmare can challenge The Prizefighter for a match at Survivor Series.

#1. Tiffany Stratton to finally cash in

Tiffany Stratton and Nia Jax's friendship is now on the rocks more than ever after the former got close to successfully cashing in at Crown Jewel. However, Ms. Money in the Bank can buy herself some more time on WWE SmackDown tonight.

Tiffany can apologize to Nia and reason that she was caught in the moment and that it will never happen again. Both women can then be provoked by Naomi and Bayley, which can set up a tag team match later that night. During or even after the match, Stratton can find an opening and finally cash in her MITB contract.
