Top name to shockingly announce his retirement, 2 former AEW stars to return? - 3 huge twists that could happen on WWE SmackDown
The post-Clash at the Castle edition of WWE SmackDown could be an eventful show. Much like the latest episode of Monday Night RAW, the episode could be filled with numerous twists and turns.
The show will witness Money in the Bank qualifying matches. Furthermore, the company could have a few massive swerves in store for fans, which could not only lay down the breadcrumbs for new feuds but also add that shock value to the Friday Night Show.
On that note, here are three huge twists that could happen on the blue brand this week:
#3. The Hardy Boyz return to WWE SmackDown
Matt Hardy's AEW stint ended earlier this year, while Jeff Hardy's contract with Tony Khan's company expired recently. Despite the duo appearing on TNA, they are currently free agents.
The Hardy Boyz are one of the biggest and most popular tag teams in the history of WWE. Given their caliber and popularity, Triple H could get the duo on board for one final run in the company.
If that does happen, The Hardys could make a surprise return on SmackDown this week.
#2. Jade Cargill turns heel
Jade Cargill and Bianca Belair lost their Women's Tag Team Title to Alba Fyre and Isla Dawn at Clash at the Castle. However, this loss may not sit down well with Cargill.
As history has shown us on numerous occasions, tag teams are meant to be broken in WWE, and the tandem of Belair and Cargill could meet the same fate on the blue brand this week.
Jade could blame Bianca Belair for their loss at the Scotland spectacle before laying waste to her. This potential angle could then plant seeds for a blockbuster showdown between the duo at SummerSlam.
#1. AJ Styles announces his retirement on WWE SmackDown
AJ Styles faced a brutal loss against Cody Rhodes in an "I Quit" Match at Clash at the Castle. The defeat has dashed The Phenomenal One's desire to become WWE Champion.
While fans are curious to know what is next for the veteran, Styles could shockingly announce his retirement on this week's episode of WWE SmackDown. The Phenomenal One has previously hinted at his retirement in several interviews.
Tired and frustrated by his recent debacles, the former WWE Champion could finally decide to draw curtains on his illustrious career.
