Veteran to leave WWE; Two massive names to challenge Jacob Fatu and Tama Tonga? 3 possible endings for WWE SmackDown season premiere on USA
WWE SmackDown is returning to the USA Network tonight after a five-year hiatus, and fans are in for a thrilling show as WWE prepares for the much-anticipated Bad Blood Premium Live Event next month.
Excitement is building as several segments and matches have been officially announced for Friday's show. One of the standout events is a thrilling steel cage match for the Undisputed WWE Championship. Fans can look forward to the night kicking off with an electrifying showdown between Solo Sikoa and Cody Rhodes.
With The American Nightmare and the 31-year-old set to kick off the show, the big question looms: Which epic segment or match will close things out? Here are three exciting possible endings for this week's WWE SmackDown.
#3 Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes unite on WWE SmackDown and challenge Jacob Fatu and Tama Tonga for the tag team gold
Roman Reigns is set to appear on this week's show and he will still be fuming over that surprise attack from Jacob Fatu. It seems pretty likely that he could be stepping into the ring to confront the Samoan Werewolf. In a daring move, Reigns could throw down a challenge for a match at the Bad Blood event in October, going after the Tag Team gold.
Acknowledging the magnitude of the threat posed by Fatu, Reigns could admit that he needs a formidable partner. Just as the tension builds, Cody Rhodes might make a surprise entrance, signaling that he’s ready to team up with Reigns. The arena could erupt as the new alliance is officially announced, setting up a high-stakes showdown between Reigns and Rhodes versus Fatu and Tonga.
#2 Jimmy Uso returns on WWE SmackDown
In the closing moments of WWE SmackDown, Roman Reigns might find himself face-to-face with The Bloodline 2.0. Things might get dicey for him as his old Enforcer seems ready to finish him off once and for all.
Just when it would seem like Reigns is about to be overwhelmed, Jimmy Uso could make a dramatic return. Jimmy Uso could make a stunning comeback. After being sidelined by Solo Sikoa and Tama Tonga on the SmackDown post-WrestleMania 40, Jimmy's return would ignite an electrifying response from the audience. He could swiftly set his sights on Solo Sikoa, wielding a chair to tip the scales, offering crucial support to his Tribal Chief to close the show.
#1 Kevin Owens announces he is leaving WWE only to turn heel
Kevin Owens could come out to make a jaw-dropping revelation, sharing that he has reached a decade with WWE but no longer feels the fire for wrestling that once fueled him. He could announce that his contract is nearing its end and that he has decided not to renew it. As Owens lays out his decision, Cody Rhodes could come out to persuade him to stay, given their recent match at Bash in Berlin.
However, Owens could shock everyone by violently attacking Rhodes, turning heel in a brutal display. This unexpected twist would not only intensify Owens’ character but also set up a highly anticipated showdown between the two at Bad Blood. The attack would heighten tensions and draw fans into the developing rivalry, creating a compelling storyline that will likely dominate WWE SmackDown programming in the lead-up to the event.
