3 Things WWE could be planning for this week's SmackDown (6 December 2019)
SmackDown sure made for an exciting watch last week, with as many as three Superstar returning to the show, a couple of good matches, and just the right publicity for TLC.
Amongst the returnees was former WWE Champion Sheamus, making his first appearance after recovering from an injury. Alexa Bliss and Elias were the other two Superstars returning to the ring.
The Fiend Bray Wyatt introduced the WWE Universe to his 'new' (read: design rehashed) Universal Championship and hinted at renewing his feud with Daniel Bryan, taking down the latter under the ring with him at the end of the show. Sasha Banks, à la Seth Rollins some time back, dissed the performance of the SmackDown women at Survivor Series but was confronted by Lacey Evans, also a part of Team SmackDown at the PPV.
Talking about PPVs, WWE is yet to get a word out regarding its schedule for TLC. One of the many speculations doing the rounds is that the Blue Brand will be letting something out regarding that on Friday.
Here, we discuss three other things WWE could possibly be planning for SmackDown this week:
#3 Lacey Evans takes on Sasha Banks
A new challenger for SmackDown Women's Championship was indicated last week when Lacey Evans confronted Bayley and Sasha Banks - both of whom participated at the Survivor Series but couldn't win their respective matches. Banks, who led Team SmackDown in the 5-on-5-on-5 elimination match, blamed the other four women for the loss until she was interrupted by the Sassy Southern Belle.
Evans made a bold statement last week, taking out Banks with her signature move, Woman's Right. Bayley, even though was right there, could do nothing about it, probably still rattled by her loss at Survivor Series. The feud could progress further if Banks locks horns with Evans after the assault. A match between the two women could allow Banks to avenge the previous attack. Evans, on the other hand, could earn a title shot against Bayley at TLC if she manages to defeat the four-time RAW Women's Champion.
