Roman Reigns and Paul Heyman could face a new opponent

#4 Elias shows up to WWE SmackDown as an authority figure

Elias wasn't drafted into either WWE SmackDown or RAW, making us wonder what was next for this talented superstar. Is he being packaged into an authority figure, maybe to replace Adam Pearce, who suffered the brunt of Brock Lesnar last week?

A short stint as a WWE SmackDown authority figure would do a world of good for Elias and maybe even set him up for a significant in-ring return down the line. If he shows up as a babyface, he could have disagreements with Sonya Deville, setting her up as a complete heel!

#3 Sheamus turns face and confronts Roman Reigns

Sheamus and Roman Reigns have waged many wars in the past. Each one of them has been a slugfest.

Could the newest member of the WWE SmackDown roster turn face and come out to confront Roman Reigns for yet another encounter? This time the WWE Universal Championship could be on the line. Even if Sheamus comes up short, as he probably will, this feud could garner fans' attention to the Blue Brand.
