WWE SmackDown Preview: Draft 2021 gets underway, Brock Lesnar returns to confront Roman Reigns, Former Champion turns heel (1st October, 2021)

#4 Dominik Mysterio turns heel on WWE SmackDown

Over the last few weeks, WWE SmackDown has shown growing tension between Dominik and his father, Rey Mysterio. The young superstar even blamed his dad for his recent losses on the Blue brand. The backstage segment also saw a brief appearance from Sami Zayn, who "advised" Dominik to go leave his father's side and trust his instincts.

The latest backstage reports have also suggested that the creative team is planning to repackage him as a heel. Can we see him betraying his dad tonight on WWE SmackDown? The father-son duo can deliver a memorable storyline, and Zayn might play an instrumental role in causing a divide between the Mysterios.

#3 Sasha Banks enters the SmackDown Women's Championship picture

Sasha Banks made a huge return during the SmackDown Women's Championship match between Becky Lynch and Bianca Belair at Extreme Rules 2021. She interfered during the title bout and laid out a vicious attack on both superstars.

Banks later made it clear that she would address her actions on WWE SmackDown. We could see her demand a shot at the women's championship as she missed out on her title bout at SummerSlam, which eventually allowed Becky Lynch to win the title.

It is expected that WWE will build towards a huge triple-threat match between Becky Lynch, Sasha Banks, and Bianca Belair as we advance.
