5 things WWE made clear on SmackDown Live this week (13th August 2019)

#2 WWE doesn't know what to do with Shinsuke Nakamura

The biggest question most of the WWE Universe would be asking right now is that where is the Intercontinental Champion? Shinsuke Nakamura hasn't been on our TV screens for a long time and while he didn't defend his title on SummerSlam, he wasn't on the follow-up SmackDown Live as well.

This could either mean WWE doesn't know what to do with Shinsuke Nakamura and the Intercontinental Championship or they are planning on building a storyline. It is definitely the former that is happening here as there was no mention of the Intercontinental title on the show. Hope WWE come up with something for Nakamura as a talent like him shouldn't be kept waiting on the sidelines.

#1 A mid-card superstar might be revealed as Roman Reigns' attacker next week

Bryan calling Buddy a liar

The most intriguing storyline currently going on SmackDown Live is the one involving Roman Reigns and his mystery attacker. This week, Daniel Bryan called Buddy Murphy a liar and said that he had nothing to do with attacking the Big Dog. He also said that Reigns would get to know his attacker next week.

The most likely case scenario is that the attacker comes out to be Shinsuke Nakamura and Roman straightaway comes into the Intercontinental Championship picture. Another one that can be possible is that it is a mid-card superstar who after feuding with Roman could elevate himself into a main eventer. While the first one doesn't really make sense, it is possible that the second one will most likely be true. Nevertheless, we will get the answer to the mystery next week.
