Solo Sikoa to put Paul Heyman in an ambulance, new champions? - 4 ways Triple H can shock us on WWE SmackDown tonight

We are all set for a promising episode of WWE SmackDown this week. Triple H booked an entertaining show on RAW earlier this week and would look to follow it up well on the blue brand.

WWE has confirmed three Money in the Bank Qualifier matches for the show. Additionally, Cody Rhodes will address fans on the same night as Solo Sikoa has announced a Bloodline Acknowledgment Ceremony. They were involved in a brutal brawl last week, and things may get worse this time.

Here, we look at three ways Triple H can shock us on WWE SmackDown tonight. So, without further ado, let's begin.


#1. Solo Sikoa attacks Paul Heyman on WWE SmackDown

WWE has confirmed a massive Bloodline Acknowledgment Ceremony for SmackDown tonight. The segment will likely see Solo Sikoa officially welcome Jacob Fatu into the Bloodline, following the latter's stunning debut on the blue brand last week. Sikoa has openly undermined Roman Reigns over the last few weeks, much to Paul Heyman's dismay.

The Wiseman is reluctant to acknowledge Solo Sikoa as the new Head of the Table, which could lead to dire consequences during the Bloodline Acknowledgment Ceremony. Sikoa may attack Heyman and remove him from The Bloodline to make a statement about the end of Reigns' era as the Tribal Chief. This would set up the stage for Roman Reigns' eventual return and a Civil War soon.


#2. Jimmy Uso returns on WWE SmackDown

Jimmy Uso was Solo Sikoa's first victim as the new Tribal Chief punished his brother for losing at WrestleMania. The star has since been off programming recovering from an injury. If Jimmy Uso is medically cleared to compete inside the ring, we may see him make a shocking return on the blue brand tonight.

Jimmy could disrupt the Bloodline Acknowledgment Ceremony and take on his former faction all by himself on WWE SmackDown. Greatly outnumbered, Jimmy may find support from Cody Rhodes, Kevin Owens, and Randy Orton. The babyface trio are involved in a brutal feud with The Bloodline and will compete in a massive six-man tag team match at Money in the Bank. Since Solo Sikoa also has Jacob Fatu, Cody Rhodes may find an unlikely friend in Jimmy Uso.


#3. Austin Theory and Grayson Waller lose the WWE Tag Team Championship

Austin Theory and Grayson Waller are currently involved in a feud with Tommaso Ciampa and Johnny Gargano. We saw the World Tag Team Championship change hands on RAW earlier this week. Triple H could book a similar swerve on WWE SmackDown which will see A-Town Down Under put their tag team gold on the line.

Alternatively, we may see the creative team push this match for Money in the Bank but set up a potential betrayal on SmackDown. Waller has purposely thrown his tag team partner under the bus lately, and fans are eagerly waiting for Austin Theory to turn face.

Their title feud with DIY could see massive developments on WWE SmackDown tonight, with a focus on an imminent split if the WWE Tag Team Championship changes hands.


#4. Current champion qualifies for Men's Money in the Bank Ladder Match

Tonight's episode of WWE SmackDown will see another superstar from the blue brand bag his spot in the Men's Money in the Bank Ladder Match. The upcoming qualifier will feature LA Knight, Santos Escobar, and United States Champion Logan Paul in a Triple Threat match. Knight and Paul have been feuding for a long time which could give Escobar an opportunistic win in the Money in the Bank qualifier.

However, Triple H could make a shocking decision to have Logan Paul qualify for the MITB Ladder Match despite him being a reigning champion. This could lead to Knight potentially costing Paul in his fight for the MITB briefcase and setting up a title feud for a massive clash at SummerSlam.
