5 Surprises that could happen on the SmackDown Live before WWE Elimination Chamber 2019

SmackDown Live needs to shake up the product this week

#4 Nakamura and Rusev attack Shane McMahon and The Miz

There has to be a reason why these two came together

I still do not agree with the decision to turn Rusev heel. But if he's going to be a heel and team up with Nakamura, then I think it makes sense for the team to go straight for the gold. It would make sense for the two to interrupt the proceedings during Miz TV, this week.

Now, The Usos potentially taking on. Shane McMahon & The Miz would pit two strong babyface teams against one another. By having Rusev and Nakamura enter the fray, you can have the two add a whole new dimension to the match. Moreover, you do not need to have one of the babyface teams turn heel for the big match.

It would also take them out of the United States title mix. And that does need a reboot.
