5 Surprises that could happen on SmackDown Live this week

#4 Nakamura and Aiden English join forces to take on Rusev

This is an alliance that actually makes a lot of sense

Nakamura was the United States Champion until the very end of 2018. Rusev won the title on Christmas Eve, his birthday and in a big coincidence, on Rusev Day. We'd assumed that the rivalry was over and done. This was not the case as Nakamura attacked Rusev again.

Now Aiden English had his own heated rivalry with Rusev not very long ago. He has not been seen on TV ever since, which is a shame because he is a gifted WWE superstar. By potentially having him team up with Shinsuke Nakamura, the two men can terrorize Rusev to no end in the weeks that follow.

Aiden English was instrumental in helping Rusev become the sensation that he has. He could do the same for Nakamura, by becoming his aide and ally.
