3 Major Surprises That Could Happen On The Post-WrestleMania 35 SmackDown (April 9, 2019)

WWE's biggest show of the year, WrestleMania, is now officially in the books, which means that we can now look forward to the next episode of SmackDown, which will likely feature a ton of follow-up to the 35th annual event.

As many expected, Kofi Kingston defeated Daniel Bryan to become the new WWE Champion, marking the first time that he's won the title. But, how long will the title reign last?

Also on the show, Becky Lynch defeated Ronda Rousey in the winner take all triple threat main event, which means that, in addition to being the red brand's main Women's Champion, "The Man" also holds the blue brand's Women's Title, which will surely be addressed on Tuesday's show.

On top of that, don't be surprised if we see the return of a notable name, with that name being...

#3 Sami Zayn Returns

Back in December, WWE aired a video package which teased Sami Zayn's return to Monday Night Raw. However, we haven't heard much about the former NXT Champion's comeback since it was originally teased.

There's a good chance that Zayn, upon returning, will be on the SmackDown brand, where he can be alongside Kevin Owens, as the two men could end up being the top tag team in the entire company if WWE decides to go in that direction.

Furthermore, there really isn't room for Zayn on the Raw brand, so it would only make sense to bring him back to the blue brand, as he'd have far more opportunities there.

With WWE's annual Superstar Shakeup set to take place in one week, it's quite possible that the company will hold off Zayn's return until he's drafted to one of their two brands, but you also can't rule out the possibility of him returning on Tuesday night.
