5 Unexpected Things That Could Happen On The First SmackDown After Super Showdown

Modified Oct 09, 2018 14:00 GMT

Super Show-Down was a resounding success for the SmackDown champions, as they all managed to retain their titles. Despite their success at the event no one can afford to rest on their laurels because challengers will be lining up for their chance to win the gold.

With SmackDown 1000 only a week away, the WWE has a lot riding on this show. Becky Lynch's title is in jeopardy as she faces Charlotte Flair once again and this time Becky doesn't have the champion's advantage. That's just one of the things the WWE has presented on a night that promises to blow the fans away. In this article, we look at five unexpected things that might happen on this week's SmackDown.

5. The Rest of the One Night in Milwaukee Tape

New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE

Aiden English and the Milwaukee tape were some of the biggest takeaways from last week's SmackDown, and it would be interesting to see how the storyline progresses. Aiden has so many options in front of him that deciding on one may be the hardest task of all.

In the end, the musical genius of WWE has to choose a path that will widen the rift between Lana and Rusev. Aiden may decide to reveal the video during Rusev's match which would distract the Bulgarian Brute and cost him the match.

If Rusev loses and Lana tries to console him after the match, he might choose to leave her in the middle of the ring indicating that he believes his best friend over her.

4. New Challengers for the Tag Team titles

Jimmy and Jey haven't been involved in the SmackDown tag team title picture for a while, and with New Day's victory over the Bar, it's time New Day moved on to another team. The Usos and the New Day have put on classic performances over the years, and the fans are eager to see them go at it again.

The Bar might choose to go after the New Day once again, which might lead to a triple threat tag match. The Bludgeon Brothers would have been worthy contenders for the belts, but any plans involving the team will have to wait until Rowan heals.

Sanity can take the position of the Bludgeon Brothers since their styles are substantially similar.

3. What next for the US Championship?

Over the past couple of weeks, Randy Orton has been systematically targeting anyone who would challenge Shinsuke for the throne of Nakamerica. With his guardian angel involved in a match against Big Show for a chance to win the WWE World Cup, Shinsuke is vulnerable.

The time is ripe for a challenger like Shelton Benjamin to step up and face The Artist. How will Shinsuke's strong style compare to Shelton's pure wrestling?

2. R-truth interrupts Miz TV

On their website, WWE announced that AJ Styles and Daniel Bryan will appear on SmackDown's most must-see segment, MizTV. This is bound to draw a lot of attention, but what most fans might not see coming is an interruption by R-Truth.

Since teaming up with Carmella, R-Truth has seen a rise in his fortunes, with him beating the Miz at one point. With that in mind, Truth could interrupt The Miz and make fun of his embarrassing loss to Daniel Bryan. I smell a tag team match on the horizon: Miz and R-Truth vs. Daniel Bryan and AJ Styles.

1. What's next for Asuka?

Asuka and Naomi recently lost to the IIconics in Australia, and that loss felt like the wind was taken out of Asuka's sails. Since her loss at WrestleMania to Charlotte, Asuka has failed to build the momentum that she once had.

Her recent victories after teaming up with Naomi were negated by her recent loss, and at the moment it seems like creative isn't sure which direction to take with her. Asuka and Naomi should put forth a strong showing tonight to solidify their place on the women's division.
