The upcoming episode of WWE SmackDown promises to be a thrilling one for fans. The anticipation is already high with the announcement of Roman Reigns' appearance, as everyone is eager to see what the Original Tribal Chief has in store after his brutal takedown of Solo Sikoa and the new Bloodline.
Adding to the excitement, Nia Jax’s Women’s Championship celebration is set to take place, with Tiffany Stratton serving as the host. In this article, we’ll explore four shocking moments that could unfold on WWE SmackDown tonight.
#4. Andrade might score a victory over Carmelo Hayes for the third time
Trending
Andrade faced Santos Escobar last week on SmackDown for the WWE United States Title #1 Contendership. However, just as the 34-year-old star was on the verge of victory, Carmelo Hayes interfered, costing Andrade the opportunity.
For those who might not know, Andrade and Carmelo Hayes share a rich history on SmackDown, having squared off twice before in singles matches, both of which ended in victories for the former US Champion. Following last week's events, WWE has announced a third match between the two on tonight's episode of the blue brand.
One shocking twist that could unfold is Andrade securing a third consecutive victory over Carmelo Hayes. While many fans might expect the latter to finally win this match, Andrade could once again snatch the victory.
This outcome would not only elevate Andrade's status within the Stamford-based promotion but also amplify his momentum as he would have defeated a former NXT Champion three times. Additionally, it would likely generate a significant pop from the crowd, as seen in his previous wins over Hayes.
#3. Tiffany Stratton might try to betray Nia Jax by attempting an MITB cash-in
Nia Jax is set for a Women's Championship celebration segment on SmackDown, with Tiffany Stratton hosting this special occasion. However, this celebratory segment could take an unexpected turn, as Tiffany might seize the moment to betray The Irresistible Force by attempting a Money in the Bank briefcase cash-in.
As the current Women's MITB holder, Tiffany Stratton has the opportunity to cash in her briefcase at any time and anywhere. During the segment, Tiffany could backstab her friend and make a surprise cash-in attempt.
However, this attempt might not go as planned, potentially resulting in a failed cash in. Tiffy Time is expected to have a longer reign as the MITB holder, especially after debuting a new custom-themed briefcase. So, it seems unlikely that WWE would rush to crown her as the new Champion just yet.
Still, even if the cash-in doesn't succeed, WWE could use this moment to plant the seeds of future betrayal, setting the stage for a more intense storyline between the two down the road.
#2. Street Profits might become the no.1 contender
The Street Profits and DIY are set to clash in a No. 1 Contender's match on tonight's episode of WWE SmackDown, and one of the surprises that could unfold is Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins securing the victory over DIY, earning themselves a shot at the tag team titles.
Currently, Tama Tonga and Jacob Fatu are the WWE Tag Team Champions. They won the title by defeating DIY. Given this, many fans expect Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa to win the match and get their revenge. However, the company could throw a curveball by having The Street Profits emerge as the No. 1 contender instead.
#1. Solo Sikoa and his Bloodline might injure Roman Reigns on SmackDown
Roman Reigns will once again appear in tonight's episode of WWE SmackDown. However, after Reigns' attack on Solo Sikoa and the Bloodline last week, the self-proclaimed Tribal Chief likely has a backup plan this time to tackle the former Universal Champion.
As a result, Roman Reigns needs to be extra careful, as Sikoa could seek revenge for last week's attack by attempting to injure the original Tribal Chief. This could involve a backstage assault or blindsiding Roman during his entrance, or a segment during the show.
There is also speculation that the original Tribal Chief might be written off television this week, as he is only advertised for a mid-September episode of WWE SmackDown. This increases the chances of Roman getting injured tonight at the hands of Solo Sikoa and The Bloodline.
