5 Possibilities For SmackDown Live Tonight

Moving forward with last week's excellent episode of SmackDown Live, the blue brand will be live from the SNHU Arena to advance the narrative for Extreme Rules. Kane's surprising return has brought a breath of fresh air to the blue team with some legitimate storyline for Daniel Bryan.

Only Sportskeeda gives you the latest Wrestling News, rumors and updates

We are only five days away from Extreme Rules which only suggests that there could be more matches added to the PPV tonight. The WWE is advertising four matches for tonight, with Asuka clashing with James Ellsworth in a lumberjack match and A.J. Styles renewing his rivalry with Shinsuke Nakamura, being the more anticipated.

So, without further ado, let's dive deep and predict what awaits us tonight. Here are the 5 shocking things that could happen on SmackDown Live tonight.

#1 Andrade 'Cien' Almas challenges a legend killer after decimating Sin Cara

This could get interesting

Ever since Andrade 'Cien' Almas made his debut on the blue brand, he's been put in a feud with Sin Cara that seems to be going nowhere.

While the superstars are clashing with each other at live events, the creative team is not able to bring any steam to this predictable feud.

Both the talented superstars are scheduled to face each other tonight, in what could possibly put a full stop to this rivalry.

Since SummerSlam is just around the horizon, this would be an ideal opportunity for WWE to focus on the Mexican sensation and push him for far more challenging prospects.

With the former NXT Champion willing to prove his worth to the main roster, he could throw a solid challenge to a man who is bound to return anytime flat, Randy Orton.

The Legend Killer who has certainly lost his agility and viciousness could be revived for an epic encounter at this year's SummerSlam. If this does happen, it will shock the world.

#2 Tye Dillinger shockingly manages to defeat Samoa Joe and forms the Perfect Truth with R-Truth

Anything could happen here

While I do not want to see Samoa Joe lose any match on SmackDown Live but this could ascend Tye Dillinger, a guy who has been the most underutilized on the main roster.

R-Truth's comic antics have taken him to a whole new level and with rumours of him teaming up with Dillinger doing the waves, there could be something good here. Samoa Joe Vs. Tye Dillinger could be some high-octane drama that this show desperately needs to invoke anticipation among the fans.

Ideally regarded as the 'Perfect Ten', defeating Samoa Joe in what could be a shocking affair could really catapult the NXT acrobat to the next level.

This could also give WWE an opportunity to display Joe's viciousness and make him the Destroyer that turned him into WWE's greatest heel in recent memory.

Since the Samoan is already rumored to face A.J. Styles, this could give Tye Dillinger and R-Truth a perfect opportunity to make themselves relevant again.

A feud could be on the cards before Joe heads to the WWE Championship and a loss against Dillinger could only lead to better things.

#3 SAnitY vs. New Day gets official for Extreme Rules with an interesting stipulation

This feud could revive the

tag-division

WWE has managed to invoke tremendous interest in the tag-team division on the blue brand with the arrival of SAnitY. The newly debuted faction from NXT is already making waves after taking out The Usos and New Day in recent episodes of the blue brand.

Considering that they could be in for a major role for SummerSlam, there's a strong possibility that WWE will announce SAnitY Vs. New Day for Extreme Rules tonight. Since the PPV demands high-octane drama, the blue army could insert a stipulation and give the fans what they deserve to see.

A possibility of booking an Extreme Rules Elimination Tag-Team match seems the right thing to do which would not only deliver, but will also manage to put the spotlight on SAnitY. The Extreme Rules match-card has not garnered any appreciation from the WWE Universe, and inserting this bout could save the company, any further embarrassment.

#4 Miz tries to take Kane to the dark side in a fantastic episode of Miz TV

This could get interesting tonight

The rumour mill is constantly swirling with reports that WWE could be pitting Daniel Bryan against either Kane or The Miz at SummerSlam. With the Miz TV scheduled to probably kick off the show tonight, there's no denying that there will be many personal comments thrown at each other throughout the segment.

Considering how Kane back-stabbed Bryan after WrestleMania 30, The A-Lister could use his force to take Kane to the dark side once again. While the duo will be focused to take on the Bludgeon Brothers at Extreme Rules, a slight little tease with some creative assistance by the Miz could prove beneficial.

Daniel Bryan's explosive feud with The Miz can still wait, but it would definitely make the blue brand must-see tonight.

#5 Shinsuke Nakamura low-blows A.J. Styles and defeats him with Rusev's interference

The Japanese sensation needs momentum

Shinsuke Nakamura will finally make his return to SmackDown Live tonight after suffering an unfortunate injury some weeks ago. The Japanese Sensation will renew his rivalry with The Phenomenal One tonight, as both superstars are ready to lock horns, in what would definitely close the show.

Considering that this is the go-home episode, chances are that Nakamura will be handed with some momentum for his match against Jeff Hardy at Extreme Rules.

With A.J. Styles set to defend his WWE Championship against Rusev, an interference from The Bulgarian Brute could hand the WWE Champion, a loss tonight.

While this feud has already turned into a nightmare, one wonders whether Nakamura and A.J. Styles would walk the same route, or will they deliver something epic tonight?
