Roman Reigns to add 2 big names to his faction, new Right Hand Man returns? 3 predictions for WWE SmackDown after SummerSlam
The post-SummerSlam edition of WWE SmackDown will air live from the BOK Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The show will witness the return of The Original Tribal Chief Roman Reigns to the blue brand.
Furthermore, Nia Jax will celebrate her big title win from SummerSlam, while Cody Rhodes and LA Knight are scheduled to appear as well. Much like WWE RAW this week, the company could have some big things in store for fans on Friday night.
How would things transpire on WWE SmackDown after SummerSlam? Here are three bold predictions for this week's blue show:
#3. Nia Jax's title win celebrations are ruined by Bayley on WWE SmackDown
Nia Jax prevailed over Bayley to win the WWE Women's Title at SummerSlam. The newly crowned champion is set to celebrate her big title win on WWE SmackDown. However, her celebrations could be cut short by The Role Model.
Bayley could interfere during the segment to attack Nia. This potential angle could result in The Irresistible Force's newest ally, Tiffany Stratton get involved. Tiffany could join forces with Nia to launch a two-on-one attack on Bayley. If so, the creative team could have Michin show up to make the save, leading to a potential tag match between the two sides.
#2. Kevin Owens betrays Cody Rhodes
Cody Rhodes will appear on WWE SmackDown this week. The American Nightmare is expected to address his recent win over Solo Sikoa at SummerSlam. However, the company may reveal Rhodes' next opponent on the same night.
One potential name who could be The American Nightmare's next challenger is Kevin Owens. There were rumors of The Prizefighter turning heel a while back. However, nothing came of it. That said, the creative team may finally pull the trigger on the same this week on WWE SmackDown.
KO could make his presence felt during Cody's segment, only to turn on him. Owens could launch a brutal attack on The American Nightmare, leading to a potential match at Bash in Berlin.
#1. Roman Reigns could reveal some new allies
Roman Reigns made his blockbuster return at SummerSlam. The Original Tribal Chief is expected to be involved in a feud against The Bloodline following his comeback. However, Reigns can't take on the Solo-led faction on his own.
Hence, he could form a new faction to fight The Bloodline. The said faction could start to take shape on WWE SmackDown. Roman Reigns could add Paul Heyman and Jimmy Uso to his faction on Friday night.
Both Heyman and Jimmy have been on the sidelines since they were kicked out of The Bloodline. However, the duo could make their much-awaited return on Friday to side with Roman Reigns in his war against The Bloodline.
Reigns could introduce Paul Heyman and Jimmy Uso as The Wiseman and Right Hand Man of his new faction respectively.
