#5. Uncle Howdy could finally make his SmackDown debut and welcome a new member

The Wyatt Sicks and Uncle Howdy have yet to make their SmackDown debut since being moved from RAW Netflix. However, with tonight's show being the go-home edition of the blue brand before the Royal Rumble, the horror faction could finally arrive.

If this scenario unfolds, fans may see them welcoming Braun Strowman as their newest member. The Monster Among Men experienced a vicious attack from Jacob Fatu at Saturday Night's Main Event.

So, Uncle Howdy could accompany the former friend of the late, great Bray Wyatt and bring him into the faction to help in his fight against The Samoan Werewolf.

#4. Nick Aldis might ban Kevin Owens from the upcoming SmackDown

Nick Aldis serves as the General Manager of SmackDown, and it is his responsibility to ensure that everything runs smoothly in this final show leading up to Royal Rumble 2025. As a precaution, the National Treasure may announce that The Prizefighter is banned from the upcoming show.

This announcement could be made during the opening moments. Here, Aldis would explain that separating KO and Cody Rhodes before the Royal Rumble is the reason for this ban. There is a strong possibility that if both stars are present on the show, a physical altercation or chaos will likely occur.

#3. Jacob Fatu might be suspended for his actions

Jacob Fatu destroyed Braun Strowman at Saturday Night's Main Event 2025. The Samoan Werewolf continued his assault, ignoring officials' attempts to intervene; instead, he opted to attack them as well. Nick Aldis was present during the entire situation, but Fatu still disregarded him.

As a result, the National Treasure could suspend The Samoan Werewolf for his actions. Aldis could also impose a heavy fine on him for his behavior.
