SmackDown stars to suddenly quit and join AEW, Randy Orton to be forced to retire? - 5 Bold predictions for WWE in November 2024
November is sure to be an exciting month for the WWE Universe, culminating with Survivor Series: WarGames 2024. This event marks the final premium live event of the year, adding even more significance to the show.
In this article, we’ll be making five bold predictions for the Stamford-based promotion in November 2024.
#5. Street Profits might leave WWE to make their AEW debut
Montez Ford has already become the talk of the town among fans following his recent comments. The Street Profits member has criticized his poor booking in the company, sparking widespread discussion. This situation has gained even more attention due to rumors that Ford’s contract is set to expire in December 2024.
If Angelo Dawkins’ contract includes similar clauses, fans could see the former SmackDown Tag Team Champions leave WWE and potentially debut in AEW soon.
Speculation about their departure intensified after Ford’s recent cryptic post, which many believe could be a farewell message. If The Street Profits leave the SmackDown roster and join AEW, it would undoubtedly be a significant loss for Nick Aldis' tag team division.
#4. Paul Heyman can return at Survivor Series: WarGames
This year’s Survivor Series is expected to feature another Bloodline Civil War in WWE history, as the OG Bloodline, reunited with Sami Zayn, prepares to clash with Solo Sikoa’s faction.
However, Roman Reigns’ group is still missing Paul Heyman. If The Wiseman doesn’t return to the company before the Survivor Series, the PLE could be the perfect stage for his comeback.
#3. Randy Orton could announce retirement as part of the storyline with Kevin Owens
Randy Orton experienced the darker side of Kevin Owens at Crown Jewel 2024, which didn’t end well for The Viper, as he was crashed through a table by KO. Before granting Orton this match, The Game had already warned Randy about the risks of injury and the possibility of the Prizefighter again putting him on the shelf.
With this prior warning, it’s possible that the Legend Killer could announce his retirement from the Stamford-based promotion as part of the storyline.
This angle could temporarily write Orton off the television while developing Kevin Owens's darker side. Later, The Viper could return as a heel and eventually betray Cody Rhodes.
#2. Braun Strowman might join The Wyatt Sicks
The Wyatt Sicks continue to terrorize the landscape of Monday Night RAW. Recently, the faction abducted The Miz due to his past actions. However, Braun Strowman is another name with a deep connection to the Uncle Howdy gimmick, given his history with the Wyatt Family and the late, great Bray Wyatt.
With this in mind, the Monster Among Monsters joining the Wyatt Sicks seems like a realistic possibility.
Currently, Strowman is absent from the company due to injury, but if he returns before the end of November, WWE could tie him to the Wyatt Sicks.
#1. Rikishi could make an unexpected return to join Solo Sikoa
Rikishi is one of the most revered names WWE fans want to see as part of the Bloodline saga. With the possibility of another Bloodline Civil War taking place at Survivor Series: WarGames, the Hall of Famer could finally make his appearance in WWE to side with Solo Sikoa.
For those who may not know, Rikishi is the real-life father of The Usos and Solo Sikoa. The reason WWE might pair him with the self-proclaimed Tribal Chief is that Roman Reigns will already have Paul Heyman on his side.
Given this, Solo certainly needs a Wise Man to counterbalance the strategies of the OG Bloodline, and Rikishi would be a perfect fit for this role.
