WWE recently announced that Kevin Owens - a RAW Superstar - will be appearing on this week's SmackDown to host a special edition of 'The KO Show' with Alexa Bliss as the guest.
Alexa Bliss is currently involved in a storyline related to The Fiend, so there are several possibilities as to what can happen during the aforementioned segment. This article will aim at breaking down those possibilities in every slide.
Here are five things that could happen during 'The KO Show' with Alexa Bliss.
#5: Aleister Black or Sami Zayn may interrupt Kevin Owens on WWE SmackDown
All the focus is going to be on Alexa Bliss during this segment, but let's not forget that Kevin Owens will be the one appearing on WWE SmackDown despite being contracted with Monday Night RAW.
The Prizefighter is currently involved in an intense feud with Aleister Black. Black himself was repackaged in terms of theme and character on the latest edition of WWE RAW.
He faced Kevin Owens in a one-on-one match that ended with a DQ in Owens' favor. After the match, Owens stunned Black and left the ring. A rematch between these two rivals will happen sooner than later, and it is possible that Black could show up at 'The KO Show' segment on SmackDown to gain some payback against Owens for what happened on WWE RAW.
On the other hand, everyone knows about Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn's illustrious history in the world of pro wrestling, and it's not every night that Owens shows up on the same brand as Zayn.
Perhaps the newly crowned Intercontinental Champion may interrupt this segment to promote his own match against Jeff Hardy on the same night. For what it's worth, both of these Superstars could interrupt Owens simultaneously simply because SmackDown can be that unpredictable sometimes.
#4: Kevin Owens becomes responsible for sending Alexa Bliss into a trance-like state on WWE SmackDown
It's been thoroughly established on WWE SmackDown that 'The Fiend' has become a trigger word for Alexa Bliss as a result of her confrontation with Bray Wyatt's evil alter-ego.
WWE.com's announcement for 'The KO Show' segment with Alexa Bliss stated the following:
Will Owens be able to help free Bliss from The Fiend’s grasp? Or will the demonic figure use the opportunity to pull Bliss further into the darkness?
The Prizefighter will most probably address Alexa's connection with The Fiend on WWE SmackDown. Owens may accidentally say those trigger words (The Fiend) while alluding to The Fiend's control over Alexa Bliss.
As a result of that, Bliss will enter a trance-like state that viewers have witnessed on WWE TV in recent weeks. Bliss may lose her calm and try to dismantle anyone around her, and since this is advertised as a one-on-one segment, Kevin Owens may have to face the wrath of a demonic Alexa Bliss.
Owens isn't the sort of person who will hit a woman, but if Bliss goes after him in a fit of rage, The Prizefighter will most likely do anything he can to defend himself.
#3: Lacey Evans interrupts 'The KO Show' and intentionally triggers the dark side of Alexa Bliss on WWE SmackDown
During last week's edition of WWE SmackDown, Alexa Bliss faced Lacey Evans in singles competition. During that match, it wasn't Lacey's fault that Bliss transitioned into a demonic state, but The Sassy Southern Belle had to face Alexa's wrath either way.
Kevin Owens doesn't necessarily have to be the one to face Alexa's rage on WWE SmackDown. In a bid to get some revenge, Lacey Evans could interrupt The KO Show to intentionally trigger Alexa's demonic personality instead. As a result, Alexa Bliss' fiendish persona could attack Lacey Evans and execute a Sister Abigail's Kiss on The Sassy Southern Belle once again.
Both women have been involved in a temporary feud that also involved Nikki Cross.
Interestingly, Kevin Owens got involved with Ruby Riott and Liv Morgan on WWE RAW several weeks ago, which got them to reunite and now they have a tag team championship match in their future.
The Prizefighter could do the same for Nikki Cross and Alexa Bliss, only if the former star is medically cleared to appear on this week's edition of WWE SmackDown.
#2: Alexa Bliss issues a challenge to WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns on the behalf of 'The Fiend' Bray Wyatt
There are several ways through which Roman Reigns and The Fiend could clash against each other in WWE. Technically, The Fiend vs Roman Reigns could also happen at RAW and SmackDown's upcoming pay-per-view, WWE Hell in a Cell.
The story is already there, and one of the most talked-about moments from last week's SmackDown included Alexa Bliss staring a hole into Roman Reigns behind his back.
It's pretty apparent that The Fiend isn't done with Roman Reigns in the long run. WWE hasn't revealed the identity of The Tribal Chief's opponent at the aforementioned pay-per-view, and The Fiend could fill that spot at Hell in a Cell.
So if Alexa Bliss slips into her demonic state during 'The KO Show' on the upcoming episode of SmackDown, she may relay The Fiend's challenge to Roman Reigns.
Interestingly, now that Paul Heyman has registered himself as The Tribal Chief's special counsel, Alexa Bliss could stand by The Fiend's side if this match goes down at Hell in a Cell.
#1: 'The Fiend' Bray Wyatt returns to WWE and attacks Kevin Owens during this segment
If there is one consistent fact about Bray Wyatt throughout his entire WWE career, it's that he has a penchant for brainwashing other people to gain something for himself.
This is the reason why The Fiend attacked Alexa Bliss during his feud with Braun Strowman several weeks ago. WWE.com's premise for the upcoming 'KO Show' segment hints towards the possibility that Kevin Owens may attempt to free Bliss from The Fiend's grasp.
If this turns out to be true, The Fiend may want to prevent that from happening by attacking Kevin Owens on this week's WWE SmackDown. Perhaps it could even lead to a match between Owens and Bray Wyatt's evil alter-ego at WWE Hell in a Cell, which would be a better option than pitting The Fiend against Roman Reigns at such an early stage.
WWE SmackDown has featured some unexpected creative directions in recent memory, and nobody would have predicted that Kevin Owens vs 'The Fiend' Bray Wyatt was a possibility at this year's Hell in a Cell event before 'The KO Show' with Alexa Bliss was announced for SmackDown.
