A few things might change this week on WWE SmackDown Live. After a new champion, a controversial ending, and a future of a team at stake, SmackDown Live might be an interesting show this week.
Here are some things that might happen this week on the blue brand.
#5 Aiden English turns on Rusev
Aiden English and Rusev have been acting like good friends lately. Rusev and Aiden English have been loyal to each other for a while now. However, despite their loyalty, their misconnection cost them the SmackDown tag team title opportunity. After the loss, their loyalty and friendship might not be 100 percent.
This is how tension grows. The tension might turn them into enemies as Aiden English could very well turn on Rusev and break Rusev Day.
Are we going to see the end of one of the most interesting and beloved things on WWE? Seems so.
#4 The 'It' couple disrespects the 'Yes' couple
The Miz and Maryse survived Daniel Bryan and Brie Bella at Hell in a Cell after Maryse pinned Brie Bella for the win. The rivalry between the two couple might be far from over however.
The Miz and Maryse will brag about their victory tonight and disrespect the 'Yes' couple and tell them that they are a better couple. However, Miz might even ask General Manager Paige for something big after their victory.
Let us see how The Miz and Maryse react after their big win.
#3 Randy Orton cuts another great promo
Randy Orton defeated Jeff Hardy in a memorable and intense Hell in a Cell match between the two. After his win over The Charismatic Enigma, Randy Orton might be done with Jeff Hardy for a while. Jeff Hardy is also not in a position to fight again after what happened to him on Sunday.
This sets Randy Orton's sights on his new prey. Randy Orton might make things clear with a heel promo tonight.
Randy Orton might simply clear his intentions, and even challenge AJ Styles and Shinsuke Nakamura for their respective titles. Let us see what Randy Orton talks about. I am sure about one thing, Randy Orton will cut a great promo after his huge win.
#2 What's next for Becky Lynch?
After two years, the fans finally got what they wanted to see - Becky Lynch hold the Women's Title again. Ever since Becky turned heel, her character has been interesting and one of the best things going on in SmackDown Live right now.
Becky Lynch will be a great champion. However, she is bound to address the hot crowd after her big win. While Becky cuts a promo about her victory, she might also be interrupted by her former best friend, Charlotte. Charlotte is far from done from Becky, so let us predict the two will exchange words tonight on SmackDown Live.
#1 Is AJ Styles showing his heel-side?
AJ Styles successfully retained the WWE Championship by pinning Samoa Joe in a controversial ending. AJ Styles tapped out while pinning Joe at the count of two. That was definitely a heel signal.
While WWE might not turn AJ Styles heel so fast, WWE might successfully tease his heel-turn. Joe was clearly a winner of their match after what happened. With Styles being a 320+ day champion, he surely needs a different side to occur.
CM Punk also turned heel during his reign and WWE might be thinking the same for Styles. Although CM Punk also did the same to Daniel Bryan just as AJ did to Joe, he turned heel later on in his reign.
Will AJ walk the same path as CM Punk? We will get to know tonight.
