WWE SmackDown: 5 big backstage rumors that could have a major impact - Superstar upset with controversial LGBT angle, Former World Champion to leave (3rd January 2020)

#3 Tag team to be split

WWE has been teasing tension between Sonya Deville and Mandy Rose as of late. The two have stopped accompanying each other during singles matches and even had a minor backstage altercation on SmackDown last week.

As per Dave Meltzer of WON, there are plans to split the duo so that Mandy Rose can get a singles push. So expect more tension between the two on this edition of SmackDown.

It feels again like they are starting to break up with Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville, which, if that happens I feel very sorry for Sonya Deville because I can just see her disappearing after the programme’s over.

Well, they were going to do it, they were going to do it before WrestleMania. They had the whole thing planned, and then they just dropped it. You know it’s like one of those things where again, sometimes you do stuff, you break up a team, and not that they are a hot team, because they are really not, they are just there, I mean if you break them up it’s just whatever, It’s not like a big deal one way or the other.

Sometimes like, with Rusev and Lana, if you remember when they broke them up, there were like no plans on making it better, they just decided it was time to do it. With this one, it’s like, if you do it or you don’t do it, it’s a storyline, I think they will push Mandy Rose no matter what because of her look.
