The recent episode of WWE SmackDown ended with the new Bloodline destroying Roman Reigns and Jimmy Uso. This occurred when The Original Tribal Chief attempted to save Jimmy after his post-match beatdown by Solo Sikoa, but both Roman and Jimmy ended up getting dismantled by the aggressive faction.

#5. Naomi will soon get a WWE Women's Championship match

On this week's SmackDown, Naomi clashed with Nia Jax in a non-title singles match. The match concluded surprisingly when The Glow pinned The Irresistible Force after some shenanigans, emerging as the victor.

This is a clear indication that, ahead of Crown Jewel, WWE is seemingly building toward a match between Naomi and Nia Jax for the WWE Women's Title.

In WWE, when a superstar pins a champion in a non-title match, it often leads to them earning a title shot against that champion. So, what transpired between Nia and Naomi on SmackDown subtly confirms that Naomi will soon receive a WWE Women's Title match.

#4. Kevin Owens vs. Randy Orton might take place at Crown Jewel 2024

The rivalry between Kevin Owens and Cody Rhodes seemingly moved ahead on the recent episode of SmackDown when The Prizefighter blamed The American Nightmare for his heel turn. However, Randy Orton stepped in between the two, trying to diffuse the tension.

Amid the chaos, Owens attacked first, although unaware he was hitting Orton, leading to The Viper responding with an elbow on KO. Later on in the night, backstage, Randy tried to reconcile by talking to Kevin, but this only resulted in The Legend Killer being destroyed by The Prizefighter.

Since Cody Rhodes is already set to face Gunther at Crown Jewel 2024, a match between Randy Orton and Kevin Owens seems like a strong possibility for the Saudi Arabia show.

#3. United States Title Triple-Threat match could soon take place

The United States Championship feud is intensifying with each passing week, and it seems like a Triple-Threat match is now part of the plan. LA Knight, Carmelo Hayes, and Andrade are the three stars primarily involved in this mid-card title scenario. Also, after the recent episode of SmackDown, it appears that a match between the three of them could take place at Crown Jewel.

With Crown Jewel still some time away, WWE has enough time to build this Triple-Threat match, which would surely be a great addition to the show in Riyadh.

#2. Randy Orton is on Cody Rhodes's side

Randy Orton has been a friend to both Cody Rhodes and Kevin Owens, but the recent episode of SmackDown confirms that The Viper is now siding with Cody Rhodes. The Legend Killer opposed Kevin Owens' actions, as mentioned earlier.

This is an intriguing development, as many fans believe that The Viper might eventually turn heel on the Undisputed WWE Champion in the near future.

#1. Roman Reigns and Jimmy Uso's much-needed help is Jey Uso's return to SmackDown

During tonight's edition of SmackDown, Roman Reigns and Jimmy Uso were destroyed by Solo Sikoa's faction. Earlier in the show, Reigns and Jimmy had a segment where the former Undisputed Tag Team Champion mentioned they needed help. However, The Original Tribal Chief firmly said "No YEET," rejecting the idea of Jey Uso's possible return.

Despite this rejection, SmackDown subtly hinted at the return of The YEET Master during the show's conclusion. After being destroyed, Jimmy told Roman that they needed help to counter the new Bloodline.

This suggests that in the coming weeks, Jimmy will try to convince The Original Tribal Chief to reunite with Jey Uso, potentially leading to an OG Bloodline reunion.
