WWE SmackDown - 5 Surprises that could happen- Major change in Royal Rumble plans, 2 Major heel turns, New faction forms?

#1 Cesaro steps up to Big E, demanding a title shot on WWE SmackDown, effectively ending his tag team with Shinsuke Nakamura

Before you read about the final surprise on WWE SmackDown that we have envisaged, do take a minute to check out SK Wrestling's special chat with Big E at the top of the page. He speaks about a variety of topics, including a chat he had with The Undertaker, during the course of the conversation.

For sure @WWECesaro. https://t.co/awK17dr6BR

Now that Shinsuke Nakamura has seemingly embarked on a singles run on WWE SmackDown, it does seem likely that Cesaro will go his own way too.

Whether it is as a babyface or a heel, Cesaro can go for the gold on WWE SmackDown this week, as he takes on Big E for the Intercontinental Championship. In fact, Big E could go on to have competitive matches with several overlooked stars in the roster, from Apollo Crews to Cesaro, every single week.

Even if Cesaro comes up short against Big E on WWE SmackDown, he could remind us just how good he truly is.
