If your creative juices are flowing and you have a few surprises in mind, do not refrain from voicing them out below. Here are 5 possible surprises that we think may happen on WWE SmackDown this week:

#5 Down on his luck, King Corbin finds a new WWE SmackDown ally

Corbin you’re the man but you’ve got to be absolutely trolling if you’re asking for a $400 cameo. I’ll give you $100 at most.

King Corbin is not a king anymore. Baron Corbin has no money, no luck, and well, no entrance music either. One of the only ways in which he can find his footing once again is if he surrounds himself with someone who has the ability to change his fortune for the better.

🗣 ACKNOWLEDGE HIM.

Enter, The Tribal Chief. As was the case with Jey Uso, Baron Corbin could be elevated to the next level if he is allied with Roman Reigns. It also allows him, in time, to turn babyface and break out of the shackles that bind him to his Tribal Chief.

Yes, it does look like WWE SmackDown star King Corbin will turn face very soon indeed, but that may not be the wisest course of action. Telling a long-term story involving the top heel in the company with him may be the only way to get the audience to like him. He was, until recently at least, the roster's most hated villain!
