We have arrived at such a point that for the first time in years, WWE SmackDown has overtaken RAW as the main WWE show, outshining its better-known counterpart with better storytelling, better viewership, and what seems to be, a more planned approach. Sure, in the past, WWE SmackDown has been qualitatively better than RAW on a variety of occasions, but it just seems like Bruce Prichard has injected new life into the product.
So, what could this week's episode of WWE SmackDown have in store for us, you ask? This week's episode could indeed be full of surprises, as we build to Clash of Champions 2020, and to get you geared up, we present 5 surprises that could potentially happen on WWE SmackDown.
Be sure to leave a comment and let us know which of these surprises you'd like to see!
#5 Alexa Bliss replaces Abby the Witch in the Firefly Fun House on WWE SmackDown
Trending
A change is imminent in Alexa Bliss, and yes, we could see it as soon as this week's edition of WWE SmackDown. It could happen in the most spectacular fashion as well, considering that Bray Wyatt has teased that we'll see a new member of the Firefly Funhouse in this episode of WWE SmackDown. And if you check the clip down below, from Alexa Bliss' appearance on Talking Smack, you would agree with the general consensus, that something is off.
Alexa Bliss could become the physical manifestation of Abby the Witch inside the Firefly Funhouse, and if anyone has the ability and the acting chops to pull off such a demanding role, it is her. This week's episode of WWE SmackDown will definitely be one to really watch out for.
#4 Carmella transforms into a glamorous new avatar for her big WWE SmackDown return
A very big appearance has been teased on WWE SmackDown with the vignette linked above, and one has to wonder who it could be. Yes, a few names like Chelsea Green and Vanessa Borne have been thrown about, but one has to wonder whether those two are being groomed to be members of Retribution.
And this means that Carmella could be making a big return to WWE SmackDown and she could be rebranded in a more glamorous and more stylish avatar soon.
And honestly, if you take a look at Carmella's social media, she has been very upset about being left off WWE SmackDown TV, meaning that it could be a matter of time until she returns to action once again.
The women's division on WWE SmackDown has been all about Sasha Banks and Bayley, and with Sasha Banks 'injured', a lot more firepower is needed before it returns to normal.
Could Carmella re-introduce the 'Emmalina' gimmick on WWE SmackDown?
#3 Roman Reigns and Paul Heyman turn on Jey Uso in a brutal attack on WWE SmackDown
Roman Reigns has been such a straight-up, upright, virtuous guy for so very long, that it is almost impossible to accept the current WWE SmackDown version of him as anything but a good guy. But Roman Reigns is constantly reminding us, through his actions at SummerSlam and Payback, that he is a heel, and this week on WWE SmackDown, we could certainly see him in his most vicious persona.
Jey Uso could be backstage on WWE SmackDown, cutting a big promo ahead of his massive match at WWE Clash of Champions, when spurred by Paul Heyman, Roman Reigns could arrive to obliterate and pulverize Jey Uso and pound him into a pulp.
This would essentially prove that the old Roman Reigns is no more, and the version of him that we see on WWE SmackDown has no redeeming quality about him and is a heel in the truest sense of the word. This week on WWE SmackDown, the heel turn could finally be complete.
#2 Bayley is confronted by Mandy Rose for the WWE SmackDown Women's Championship
Mandy Rose has been in an on-screen relationship with Otis, which is cute, but she is capable of so much more, as she proved during her personal rivalry with Sonya Deville, that culminated at SummerSlam. One would assume that a victory so prolific would catapult her up the WWE SmackDown rankings, but last week was dominated by Bayley's shocking betrayal of Sasha Banks.
For the audience to truly realize the extent of Bayley's actions, Sasha Banks will have to stay away from WWE SmackDown for a while.
And this means that Mandy Rose can finally step up to confront Bayley for the WWE SmackDown Women's Championship this week.
No, Bayley should not lose her WWE SmackDown Women's Championship to anyone but Sasha Banks; and yes, Mandy Rose deserves a title opportunity, where, even if she comes up short against Bayley, it would be a massive step in the right direction for the talented young woman. Could we see this segment on WWE SmackDown?
#1 The Miz steals Otis' Money in the Bank contract on WWE SmackDown
Last week on WWE SmackDown, John Morrison tried to steal Otis' Money in the Bank contract but ended up stealing his lunchbox instead. As dumb as the WWE SmackDown segment was, The Miz has now learned the actual location of the Money in the Bank contract and he could potentially steal it on this week's episode of WWE SmackDown.
People like Otis but he's not unseating Roman Reigns as the big dog on WWE SmackDown anytime soon. Roman Reigns has brought in the big ratings, and to make Otis the Champion at this point may just backfire on the company and on Otis as well.
So, what he could do instead, is engage in a mini-feud with someone like The Miz, who steals his Money in the Bank contract until the time is ripe for him to cash in.
It would be a pretty nice distraction for the WWE SmackDown audience, and a nice upper mid-card feud for the time being, at least.
