WWE SmackDown: 3 interesting things which could happen on the upcoming episode (30 July 2019)

Even though the previous edition of WWE SmackDown following the Raw reunion special received mixed reviews from critics, it was not a bad show. While the show had its flaws, WWE deserves a lot of credit for certain well-booked matches and segments.

Be it the return of the cryptic and eerie Firefly Fun House or The Miz TV featuring Dolph Ziggler and Mr. WrestleMania, Shawn Michaels firing verbal volleys at each other, the show lived up to the expectation of fans.

However, The Viper, Randy Orton accepting Kofi Kingston's challenge to face him for the WWE Championship at SummerSlam 2019 was clearly the highlight of the show.

On another note, the upcoming episode of SmackDown will be live this Tuesday night from FedExForum, Memphis, TN and WWE has already advertised two matches- Finn Balor vs Dolph Ziggler and The New Day vs Elias and Drew McIntyre in a tag team match- and the return of Trish Stratus for a King's Court segment with Hall of Famer, Jerry 'The King' Lawler.

So, to feed all our curiosities, in this article we take a look at 3 interesting things which could happen in the upcoming episode of SmackDown:

#3 Charlotte Flair attacks Trish Stratus

It looks totally on the cards.

WWE is advertising the return of Hall of Famer Trish Stratus for a special King's Court segment featuring Jerry 'The King' Lawler on the upcoming episode of SmackDown. However, the segment might not have a happy ending as odds of The Queen, Charlotte Flair attacking Trish are quite high.

Yes, as per the latest rumors, WWE is planning to have a dream match between Trish Stratus and Charlotte Flair at SummerSlam on August 11. Thus, Flair could attack Trish to lay down the breadcrumbs for the same this Tuesday night on the blue brand.

#2 The Viper stands tall over Kofi Kingston by flooring him with a devastating RKO

This is going to be quite a rivalry.

The Viper, Randy Orton accepted Kofi Kingston's challenge on the previous episode of SmackDown to face him for the WWE Championship at SummerSlam. However, things did not end too well for The Legend Killer as he was put down by a devastating 'Trouble in Paradise' by Kofi, later in the night. Thus, The Viper could be on the redemption mode, this Tuesday night.

WWE could have Kofi feature in a segment to address Orton for their match on August 11 only to be floored by a lethal RKO outta nowhere from the latter. This would not only be Orton's redemption after how things unfolded last week but would also hype their match beautifully for SummerSlam.

On another note, Orton and Kofi share quite a history between them and to be honest, personally, I have been dying to see this feud ever since Kofi was crowned as the new WWE Champion at WrestleMania 35. Mind you, this has the capability to blow off all charts if WWE books it right.

#1 Bill Goldberg returns

A potential return of the former Universal Champion on the blue brand would be huge.

WWE has advertised a Finn Balor versus Dolph Ziggler matchup for the upcoming episode of SmackDown. However, it could very well turn into something more, if WWE decides to have Bill Goldberg return, this Tuesday night.

Yes, rumor has it that WWE is planning a huge matchup between Bill Goldberg and Dolph Ziggler for the biggest WWE event of the summer on August 11. Thus, creative could have The Show-off attack Finn Balor after their match this Tuesday night only for the former WCW Champ to show up to make the save.

This would then lay down the breadcrumbs for a blockbuster matchup between the duo at SummerSlam.

On another note, as I have said it before, Dolph Ziggler seems to be the perfect opponent for Goldberg as he can take bumps like a champ and can sell almost anything. Thus, this match could prove to be one of the dark horses, if WWE plans it for SummerSlam.
