WWE SmackDown has an interesting show lined up for this week

#2 Sami Zayn turns his attention towards Intercontinental Championship on WWE SmackDown

WWE SmackDown Superstar Sami Zayn is the championship contender for the Intercontinental title. He has been involved in a feud with Johnny Knoxville for the last few weeks, but now he is expected to turn his attention towards Shinsuke Nakamura. It is worth noting that the latter has not defended his title for months.

Zayn would want to get his hands on the Intercontinental Championship, but is he really done with Jackass franchise star? We hope to see him involved in a serious storyline on the blue brand, especially the one that would do justice to Nakamura’s title reign. Will the latter successfully defend his gold in the coming weeks?

#1 What’s next for Drew McIntyre on WWE SmackDown?

One of the biggest returns at Royal Rumble saw Drew McIntyre back inside the ring. He was one of the strongest performers in the match and was the last man standing inside the ring with Brock Lesnar. In the end, Lesnar eliminated McIntyre to win the Royal Rumble, and he is now expected to make up for the big loss.

The Scottish Warrior has openly stated how he wants to enjoy his big WrestleMania moment alongside fans in the live audience. Unfortunately, he was robbed of the opportunity last time, but now, he is determined to take back his moment at all costs.

Could we see Drew McIntyre make his way into the Universal Championship picture on the road to WrestleMania.
