5 things that could happen on SmackDown next week

#1 Orton hits an RKO on Nakamura during the brawl

It has to be a matter of time before Orton hits an RKO on Nakamura

My number 5 moment is that there will be a big brawl to close the show. I think that it’s only a matter of time before Randy Orton turns heel, and Shinsuke Nakamura - who he had one singles match to determine the No. 1 Contender for the WWE Championship and later tag teamed with, as recent as two weeks ago - could be the man who would face the brunt of Orton. This could be a big moment that foreshadows it.

This wouldn’t be the actual turn, but I think that at some point the brawl might break down into a few individual guys attacking each other, and at some point in the fray a bunch of guys could hit their finishers on each other. I think it would be awesome for Orton to “accidentally” nail Nakamura with the RKO.

It would also be a different way to go about the brawl, making it different from normal. Usually, it’s just a bunch of guys punching and kicking each other indiscriminately with a few guys getting tossed over the top rope. Instead, maybe some of the more prominent guys can get some space in the ring to hit their finishers or another big move.

This could lead to a bunch of RKOs out of nowhere, and Nakamura will find himself in the wrong place at the wrong time and become one of the victims. Nakamura could eliminate Orton from the Rumble, and then Orton could go full heel on the next SmackDown and try to challenge Nakamura for his title shot. Yeah, that’s a bit of fantasy booking on my part, not just a possible prediction, but for months I’ve been begging to see Orton turn on Nakamura, and the time is now.
