WWE SmackDown - 5 Possible surprises (21 Jan 2021)

#4 Becky Lynch shows up on WWE SmackDown to confront Roman Reigns

We all remember the WWE SmackDown segment where Roman Reigns said he would have chosen Becky Lynch over Seth Rollins to face off against at the 2022 Royal Rumble.

We also know that Becky Lynch is not someone who takes kindly to her name being uttered in vain.

Could she show up on this week's show to slap Roman Reigns straight on his chiseled jawline? Of course, Reigns wouldn't be able to retaliate because there remains a stigma towards choreographed violence between genders in WWE even now.

#3 Rick Boogs hits Shinsuke Nakamura with his guitar

Ever since Elias disappeared into the void, there haven't been too many guitar shots of note in WWE. Could Rick Boogs assume the mantle vacated by his predecessor and hit Nakamura with his guitar heading into the Royal Rumble?

Then, the upcoming Royal Rumble match could be a triple-threat affair. Remember that Boogs has a victory over Sami Zayn, the actual number 1 contender.
