5 things that could happen on SmackDown next week

#4 10-woman tag team match

The Riott Squad stand tall after beating Naomi, Becky, and Charlotte

I don’t know how good the chances actually are of this occurring, but WWE seems dead set on not doing anything interesting with the women, so they might just throw them all out in the ring for one big jumble of a match. It could actually play into the big brawl at the end of the show, too.

Since there are 7 heels and only 3 faces in the women’s division on SmackDown, you would have to put two heels on the face side. I would do Charlotte, Naomi, Becky Lynch, Carmella, and Natalya vs. Ruby Riott, Sarah Logan, Liv Morgan, Tamina, and Lana. The match would play out with some miscommunication happening on the face/heel team with Natalya and/or Carmella walking out on the match or possibly just turning on one of her teammates.

If, say, Carmella gets in the ring and boots Charlotte in the face, things will go south pretty quickly and both teams would end up in the ring fighting each other. The match would get thrown out and a brawl would commence. This could be the Royal Rumble preview brawl for the women. What I would prefer to see would be a bunch of referees and security guards coming down to break up the fight, only to see the women rejoin the fray later on during the men’s brawl. I think that would be great.
