Roman Reigns' WWE future; Jade Cargill's mystery attacker to turn heel? 5 things that were subtly told on SmackDown tonight
WWE SmackDown after Survivor Series: WarGames 2024 has concluded, featuring several major developments. One of the biggest moments saw DIY dethrone the Motor City Machine Guns to become the new WWE Tag Team Champions.
Additionally, Cody Rhodes faced Chad Gable in the show's main event, with the American Nightmare emerging victorious. In this article, we will discuss five subtle messages WWE conveyed on SmackDown tonight.
#5. Dominik Mysterio might be leaving The Judgment Day soon
The eagle eyes of the fans spotted Dominik Mysterio on the blue brand, where the Dirty Dom was seen interacting with Nick Aldis. This interaction between Dom and Nick caught the attention of the WWE Universe in a big way.
Further, during this show, WWE has also announced a transfer window allowing RAW, SmackDown, and NXT stars to switch brands. Given Dominik’s conversation with the SD General Manager, this could be a hint that he might leave The Judgment Day on RAW and begin a singles run on Friday Nights.
#4. Kevin Owens vs Sami Zayn is evident to take place again
Michael Cole interviewed Kevin Owens in a car during SmackDown, where KO seemingly hinted at another clash with Sami Zayn. During the interview, Cole questioned Owens about his recent villainous turn.
When the conversation shifted to Sami Zayn, the Prizefighter made it clear that they would "definitely cross that bridge when we get to it." This strongly suggests that Owens is still displeased with Sami rejoining the OG Bloodline, possibly planting the seeds for a future showdown between the two.
#3. DIY could be the potential attacker of Street Profits
Initially, the Street Profits were scheduled to face the Motor City Machine Guns in a Tag Team Title match. However, during SmackDown, Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford were mysteriously taken out in a backstage segment, leading to Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa replacing them.
This raises the possibility that DIY could be the attackers behind the ambush on the former Tag Team Champions. The likelihood of this increases with DIY now being the new champions and seemingly turning heel.
#2. Naomi could be the potential attacker of Jade Cargill
Naomi was undoubtedly one of the prime suspects behind the parking lot attack on Jade Cargill before the Survivor Series. During the recent show, when Bianca Belair once again brought up the topic of Jade Cargill’s attacker, Naomi’s reaction appeared highly suspicious.
This seemingly indicates that Naomi might be pretending to be a good guy, with a potential heel turn looming once she gets exposed.
#1. The whole Bloodline could be moving from SmackDown to RAW
Roman Reigns was noticeably absent from the recent edition of Friday Night SmackDown. This sparks speculation that the Bloodline might be moving to the red brand after RAW’s Netflix debut.
It’s possible that the Original Tribal Chief could be heading to RAW soon, which might explain his absence. If this happens, not only Roman but also the entire OG Bloodline could move to the red brand.
Additionally, Solo Sikoa's version of the Bloodline might join them if WWE plans to continue their ongoing rivalry.
