It's no secret that SmackDown Live is all set to move to FOX in October this year. Rumor has it that WWE is doing its best to make the show mean more than it ever has, once it switches to FOX. Bringing in Roman Reigns was the first step. While promoting SmackDown Live, FOX mentioned that Brock Lesnar would be seen on the blue brand.

What better way to kick off Lesnar's move to SmackDown Live by pitting him against the WWE Champion? This slow buildup could possibly see Roman Reigns cost Brock Lesnar the WWE Title against Kofi Kingston, resuming their unfinished rivalry from last year. A victory over Brock Lesnar would be the biggest win of Kofi's career and will help WWE create a legit main eventer.

Lesnar is known for skipping way more Raw episodes than he appears on. Let him do the same with SmackDown and keep teasing a revenge angle on Roman Reigns. Finally, the debut episode of SmackDown on FOX would see Lesnar make an appearance, setting up a match with Reigns at Survivor Series.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
