Aleister Black vignettes have been airing on SmackDown recently, confirming that he will be a heel. After getting drafted to SmackDown, Black has been absent, even missing out on WrestleMania 37.

Reports have suggested that Vince McMahon gave up on him after Paul Heyman was removed as RAW Executive Director. Since his return is confirmed, this would be the best place for it to happen. It's been seven months since we've seen Aleister Black in WWE, and a return is long overdue.

#3. Roman Reigns gets destroyed by Cesaro

After Cesaro is done with Seth Rollins on the Throwback episode of SmackDown, a confrontation with Roman Reigns seems inevitable. Reigns stands tall in almost every episode of the Blue brand, and while his Universal Title reign is unlikely to end anytime soon (nor should it), it's the best episode to make The Swiss Cyborg look like the biggest threat possible.

Cesaro destroying Reigns would be the perfect way to confirm the Title match for WrestleMania Backlash. This match should main event the pay-per-view as well.
