WWE SmackDown has an interesting show lined up for this week

#4 Huge SmackDown rivalry could see its final chapter unfold tonight

The last few months on SmackDown have shown that the Superstars don’t really need a title feud to deliver some of the best ongoing storylines in the promotion. Tonight, we will see one such rivalry potentially exploring its last chapter on the show. Following their altercations in the last few weeks, Sheamus and Big E will now lock horns with a Falls Count Anywhere match.

Big E was attacked by Sheamus ahead of a Fatal 4-way qualifying match which caused the New Day member an opportunity to become the No. 1 contender for the Universal Championship. The attack laid down by Sheamus also forced Big E into going out of action for a while. Ultimately, it was confirmed that both Superstars would lock horns in a crucial encounter on SmackDown this week.

Ever since Kofi Kingston was ruled out of action, there have been reports about Big E getting a huge single’s push. Sooner than later, we could see him enter a title picture on SmackDown. Even if he doesn’t end up challenging Reigns for the Universal Championship, he could very well find himself competing for (and winning) the Intercontinental title.
