Roman Reigns' new Right Hand Man to destroy The Bloodline, big name to quit? 3 predictions for tonight's WWE SmackDown
Tonight's WWE SmackDown will air live from Rogers Place in Edmonton, Canada, and will feature all the fallout from the recently concluded Bash in Berlin. The company has so far announced two matches for tonight's show.
Aside from that, Giovanni Vinci will make his return, while Cody Rhodes will address Solo Sikoa on the upcoming episode of blue brand. The creative team could also have some big things in store for fans tonight, which could set the tone for SmackDown's return to the USA network next week.
On that note, here are three last-minute predictions for tonight's WWE SmackDown:
#3. Kevin Owens quits WWE SmackDown
Kevin Owens locked horns with Cody Rhodes in the Undisputed WWE Title Match at Bash in Berlin. However, The Prizefighter failed to usurp The American Nightmare. His recent loss may result in KO quitting the blue brand.
It can be argued that Owens doesn't have much left to do on WWE SmackDown, hence, the veteran could decide to quit the brand tonight. Following that, The Prizefighter could go on to sign a new deal with RAW, which would provide him with new opportunities and fresh faces to feud with.
#2. Triple H announces Cody Rhodes' next match
Last week's edition of SmackDown saw Solo Sikoa reveal that he would be coming after the winner of the Undisputed WWE Title match between Cody Rhodes and Kevin Owens at Bash in Berlin. Given The American Nightmare retained his title at the event, it is expected that The Street Champion will be his next challenger.
Rhodes will make an appearance on tonight's episode of WWE SmackDown to address Solo Sikoa. Fans should expect The American Nightmare to fire verbal volleys at The Bloodline leader. This segment also could see the on-screen return of WWE Head of Creative, Triple H.
The Game could congratulate Cody on his recent win before hyping SmackDown's return to the USA network next week. Given The American Nightmare's rematch against Solo Sikoa is reportedly not going to happen at Bad Blood, HHH could then go on to announce the high-profile match between the duo for next week.
#1. Roman Reigns' new Right Hand Man, Jimmy Uso, returns
The Bloodline will take on DIY and The Street Profits in an eight-man tag team match tonight. However, the heel stable could succumb to a big defeat due to Roman Reigns' new Right Hand Man returning.
While The Original Tribal Chief will not likely return on WWE SmackDown tonight, he could send his cousin brother, Jimmy Uso, to handle The Bloodline. Big Uce has been on the sidelines ever since he was kicked out of The Bloodline.
However, he could return tonight as Roman Reigns' new Right Hand Man to help DIY and The Street Profits defeat the Solo-led stable. Following that, he could join forces with the babyfaces to destroy The Bloodline.
