5 Surprises WWE could be planning for this week’s Raw & SmackDown

#3 Daniel Bryan and Rowan find new challengers

SmackDown's tag team division could use some new entrants

With the SmackDown Live tag team roster a dismantled and shaken up after the Superstar Shake-up last month, we’ve seen Daniel Bryan and Rowan enjoy their time at the top of the roster.

The only real threat they have faced since has been at the hands of The Usos who themselves have been moved to the Raw roster, and appear on SmackDown thanks to the wild-card rule.

Now is the time for WWE to step up and reintroduce The Authors of Pain, this time on the SmackDown Live roster. The two men had their main roster debut on Raw, but their progress was halted due to an injury suffered by Akam.

Akam may now be ready for his return as in a video posted last month, Cathy Kelley and Kayla Braxton teased the WWE Universe, claiming that there had been rumors that Akam was returning to TV soon.

With the experience of holding the NXT Tag Team Championships and the Raw Tag Team titles, the two men have the potential to make a surprise return and take over the SmackDown tag division and give Bryan and Rowan a run for their money.
