WWE SmackDown: 4 Shockers & Surprises from this week’s episode (May 21, 2019)

#3 Ali’s up and down booking

Since his move from 205 Live to the main roster, Ali has seen a lot of changes take place around him and even to his own name.

Along with that, Ali’s stock has also risen and fallen a number of times in just a few months. We have seen him pin the WWE Champion in televised matches while taking the fall for some newer talent too.

Once again WWE surprised us last night as they booked a match between Andrade and Ali after the Money in the Bank ladder match. While Andrade is already scheduled for a high-profile championship match at the Super ShowDown, it seems like Ali will most probably be a part of the 50-man battle royal.

While Ali walked into the match as the underdog, it was surprising that WWE booked him to pick up the win over the man who is scheduled to battle for the Intercontinental Championship soon.

While it is good to have 50-50 bookings between parallel superstars, Ali’s win this week came as a huge surprise.
