Two stars to cost former champion a victory, unexpected name wins? - 4 possible finishes for Kevin Owens vs Grayson Waller vs Andrade on WWE SmackDown

WWE Friday Night SmackDown will be airing later tonight. The show will be taking place live from the Allstate Arena in Rosemont, Illinois. According to WrestleTix, over 13,000 tickets were sold as of several days ago.

This episode of the blue brand will be a big one. For starters, RAW's CM Punk is set to appear with the intention of hopefully revealing that doctors have cleared him to compete. Additionally, LA Knight will go face-to-face with Logan Paul.

SmackDown will also include a few Money in the Bank Ladder Match qualifying bouts. This includes Kevin Owens taking on both Grayson Waller and Andrade in a Triple Threat Match.

All three men in the bout are quite talented, and all three arguably deserve a spot in the marquee ladder match, but only one of the stars can win. This article will take a look at a handful of potential finishes for the match, which includes interference and arguably an upset win.

Below are four possible finishes for Kevin Owens vs. Grayson Waller vs. Andrade on WWE SmackDown.

#4. Kevin Owens could win cleanly on WWE SmackDown

Kevin Owens is a veteran of the pro wrestling ring and of WWE in particular. He has held several titles in the Sports Entertainment juggernaut. Belts held by Owens include the Universal Championship, Intercontinental Title, NXT Championship, United States Championship, and tag team gold.

The Prizefighter is currently at war with The Bloodline, which is a sentence that could have been used off and on over the past three and a half years or so. This time, however, the WWE star is specifically at war with Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Tonga Loa.

Given the many accolades of Owens, a win is certainly well within reach. If he hits either Andrade or Grayson Waller with the Stunner, neither man will be able to recover. A big Frog Splash or a Pop-Up Powerbomb could also get Kevin the clean victory. Regardless of the method, don't be surprised to see him pick up the win.

#3. Austin Theory could help Grayson Waller advance

Grayson Waller is one of the most cocky and obnoxious superstars in WWE. His arrogance has led him far, however, as he's not only a star on Friday Night SmackDown, but he hosts his own show. The Grayson Waller Effect has been running for multiple years now and it is always entertaining.

Since joining the main roster, the trolling Aussie has found a partner in Austin Theory. Despite some tension between the pair recently, A-Town Down Under are the reigning WWE Tag Team Champions and have been since WrestleMania.

Waller may luck out and have Austin Theory's assistance when he takes on Kevin Owens and Andrade on SmackDown. If Theory can either attack one of the competitors or cause a distraction, Waller may hit his flipping Unprettier to pick up a massive win.

#2. Andrade could surprise fans by winning

Andrade is one of the best pro wrestlers in the world. He is a former NXT Champion and United States Champion who left WWE for several years. He recently returned in the Men's Royal Rumble Match and has been getting his footing in the biggest company in the world ever since.

El Idolo has recently been the talk of social media when he defeated Ricochet to win the WWE Speed Championship. Some fans mistakenly believed this meant he would no longer remain on SmackDown, but that is not the case.

Despite how talented Andrade is, he is often overlooked by fans and doesn't appear to be the favorite going into this match. This is why Andrade could surprise fans by hitting The Message on Grayson Waller and moving on to Money in the Bank 2024. Calling the potential victory an upset is debatable, but it'd be big for El Idolo either way.

#1. DIY could cost Waller the victory allowing for Owens to pick up a win

DIY is a popular tag team currently on the WWE SmackDown brand, but the duo rose up through the ranks on NXT and even the indie scene in the past. In fact, Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa are former NXT Tag Team Champions, but also former NXT Champions in their own right.

Johnny Wrestling and Tommaso Ciampa have had issues with A-Town Down Under recently. DIY have made it clear that they want the WWE Tag Team Titles and are seemingly close to challenging A-Town Down Under for the gold, but no match has been made official as of yet.

If Austin Theory does try to interfere, DIY could make their presence known and stop Grayson from picking up a cheap victory. Given their past ties to Kevin Owens, the two could fight off Theory and aid Owens in picking up a pinfall victory over Waller.
