5 things WWE subtly told us on SmackDown: Wild Card rule still in play; next Superstars pushed

#1 Shorty G and Ali to get pushed

Shorty G

At next week's Crown Jewel, Team Hogan, led by WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan, will face off against Team Flair, captained by WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair, in a 10-man tag team match.

Hogan and Flair's teams - or at least a few members of each of their teams - faced off against each other on SmackDown, in the main event of the show. Two surprising additions to the 10-man tag team match were Shorty G - formerly known as Chad Gable - and Ali.

Both Superstars have phenomenal talent but don't have the traditional big size that WWE usually favors.

The change of Gable's name to Shorty G, alluding to his height, is rather embarrassing, but it could be a way for WWE to repackage him and give him a push. Ali, too, has deserved a push for a while now, after an unfortunate injury earlier this year stopped a possible push.

Both men starred in the main event, with Ali even getting the win for his team after Roman Reigns tagged him into the match in the dying moments of the show. We could see these two high-flying Superstars get a bigger push, starting with a good showing at Crown Jewel.
