As mentioned above, Cody Rhodes will be in action tonight for a major tag team match. He will be teaming up with Damian Priest and Braun Strowman against Tama Tonga, Jacob Fatu, and Solo Sikoa. Interestingly, The Rock might assist his former rival instead of his own family.

Solo and Jacob could target 42-year-old Damian Priest tonight ahead of his match in hopes of getting the numbers advantage. After seeing what his cousins did, The Rock could offer to join Cody's team to prove he wasn't behind the attacks, and Nick Aldis could make it official.

#2. Bianca Belair and Naomi to be put on trial

On the previous WWE SmackDown show, Nick Aldis revealed footage of Jade Cargill's attacks, which showed Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez walking away. Although the General Manager told them that nothing had been concluded yet, the Women's Tag Team Champions decided they had seen enough and confronted The Judgment Day duo on RAW.

On the upcoming show, Aldis could corner them again and make the duo watch the full footage. This time around, it could be shown that Naomi was behind the attacks, with a possible implication that The EST of WWE knew about it as well.
