5 things which could take SmackDown Live by storm tonight

#2 The Charismatic Enigma is now rendered obsolete

The Enigma you know is dead

Randy Orton's jaw-dropping assaults on Jeff Hardy has propelled SmackDown Live to a different stratosphere of storytelling and character build-up.

While the Apex Predator might not appear tonight due to the allegations that are surrounding him, the creative team might bring a different version of Jeff Hardy to elevate intrigue for SummerSlam.

Shinsuke Nakamura's reign as the United States Champion could be seriously entertaining, and colliding against a newly rejuvenated Brother Nero could bring the house down tonight.

There's no denying that Jeff Hardy is one of the most popular wrestlers of this generation, and the fact that he still continues to improvise his characterization is commendable.

With Randy Orton out of the picture for some time, the creative team needs to pull out all the stops tonight, and bringing in Brother Nero could be absolutely sensational.
