New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE
#5 Daniel Bryan returns to WWE SmackDown and confronts Sami Zayn
Anyone that is a wrestling purist will be really excited at the prospect of someone like Sami Zayn getting confronted by a returning Daniel Bryan on WWE SmackDown. Bryan has been on a hiatus for some time now, which makes sense as he's become a new father once again. But Sami Zayn needs someone formidable to make the Intercontinental Championship prestigious and Daniel Bryan would be absolutely perfect in this role.
Honestly, it may actually allow someone like Jeff Hardy to clash with Roman Reigns for the Universal Championship which is a program that people may quite like, before The Fiend and Roman Reigns clash.
Roman Reigns needs to run through babyfaces for a while and someone like Jeff Hardy, at the moment, and Daniel Bryan, in some time, could prove to be worthy adversaries, that put him over.
#4 Paul Heyman recruits Jey Uso into his stable on WWE SmackDown
Despite the fact that Jey Uso came up short against Roman Reigns at Clash of Champions, he won the hearts of the WWE Universe, and even while his brother is on the shelf, he could have a pretty interesting run as a singles competitor on WWE SmackDown. No, he may not sit at the head of the table on WWE SmackDown but he could sit by the side of the man who does when Paul Heyman recruits Jey Uso as a member of his stable, alongside Roman Reigns.
Bear in mind that the WWE draft is on the horizon and if there is to be a certain Samoan stable that is formed, Samoa Joe could certainly join the ranks and bolster the group on WWE SmackDown. And in due course of time, the three men could challenge The New Day or even The Hurt Business, if they show up on WWE SmackDown following the draft. So many exciting possibilities exist for Jey Uso.
#3 The mystery woman finally shows up on WWE SmackDown
Now that Clash of Champions is pretty much in the rearview mirror, it is finally time for the mystery woman to show up on WWE SmackDown and make her mark. While it is pretty clear that the woman arriving on WWE SmackDown is Carmella, it will still be an exciting development to check out what her brand new, repackaged version looks like.
WWE does not want to make the same mistake that they made with Emmalina all that time ago, where the storyline dragged on for so long that is actually lost any sense of excitement with time. This week's episode of WWE SmackDown is the right time for Carmella to return and remind us that she is truly a big deal. One wonders which WWE SmackDown Superstar will have to take the fall against her and honestly, also whether Carmella will be a babyface or a heel in her current avatar since no real indication has been given to us regarding her recent character.
#2 A Roman Reigns segment on WWE SmackDown becomes scary as Alexa Bliss appears on every single screen
Did you catch the moment up the ramp, where Alexa Bliss, now in her twisted and scary avatar, stared intently at Roman Reigns? It is clear that The Fiend will enter the WWE Universal Championship hunt soon, and Alexa Bliss will be a major ally to The Fiend as he battles Roman Reigns in due course of time. On this week's episode of WWE SmackDown, we could see a major change in Alexa Bliss, as she plays mind games with one Roman Reigns.
Roman Reigns could be involved in a match or segment on WWE SmackDown, where all the lights dim and every face on the screen becomes that of Alexa Bliss in her current, frightening avatar.
Alexa Bliss herself does not understand what is happening to her, so next week on WWE SmackDown, when Roman Reigns or even Paul Heyman talks to her, she can say that she doesn't really know what is really going on, in her case.
#1 Bianca Belair appears on WWE SmackDown as a trade for Dana Brooke
Dana Brooke from WWE SmackDown showed up on RAW this week and formed a tag team with none other than Mandy Rose. One has to wonder if there will be a trade for her, orchestrated by Adam Pearce, where someone from RAW goes to WWE SmackDown.
Bianca Belair hasn't been doing much on RAW and it makes all the sense for her to move to WWE SmackDown and engage in a feud with the heels in the brand such as Lacey Evans. Not only will it give her something to do, but it also will help the heels on WWE SmackDown in terms of working with someone who's getting pushed as much as Bianca Belair is.
Bianca Belair vs. Bayley will also be an extraordinary contest once the EST of NXT has moved on from Sasha Banks.
