#2. Will Carmella make her presence known in the SmackDown Women's Title picture?

We won't imply that the SmackDown Women's Title match on Sunday could change to a Triple Threat match, especially since there are enough Triple Threats on the WrestleMania Backlash card.

However, last week on SmackDown, Carmella defeated Ruby Riott in what was clearly mentioned as a stepping stone to a SmackDown Women's Title opportunity. With Carmella's victory, it seems like a small push might be coming for Bianca Belair's next pay-per-view program.

For now, Bianca Belair has to focus on the longest-reigning SmackDown Women's Champion Bayley. But could Carmella shock everybody and make her presence known to set up the next title feud on SmackDown?


#1. Seth Rollins continues to get involved in the Universal Title picture

Last week on the Throwback edition of SmackDown, Cesaro defeated Seth Rollins in a WrestleMania rematch. This time, however, it wasn't clean. Thanks to a ringside scuffle that Rollins had with The Usos, he received a superkick that allowed Cesaro to pick up the victory.

There was a tense confrontation backstage between Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins. Even though the both of them are heels, Seth Rollins could somehow weasel his way into the Universal Title picture despite losing to Cesaro on two occasions.
