After delivering a fascinating edition of Monday Night Raw, WWE will be hoping to bring the same momentum to conclude this year's Road to WrestleMania.

Live from the Royal Farms Arena in Baltimore, this edition of SmackDown Live could possibly be one of the most anticipated episodes of 2019, if not the most anticipated.

The company has been successful in bringing enough intrigue to the table with Kofi Kingston's journey heading into The Show of Shows and with a huge contract signing advertised for tonight, one has to wonder how Vince McMahon will shake up things before we finally see Kofi realize his ultimate dream on April 7th.

Some questions also need answering tonight. The women's division on the blue brand had suffered the brutal wrath of WWE's main-event plans, with Charlotte Flair shocking us all last week by decimating Asuka for the SmackDown Women's Championship.

Whilst all the female competitors on the blue brand would be tussling it out in the Women's Battle Royal at the visual extravaganza, could we see Asuka stand up for the whole division and demand a rematch?

Furthermore, we will see Kevin Owens bringing The Kevin Owens Show back to the frame with A.J. Styles and Randy Orton's heated rivalry taking center stage five days before WrestleMania.

So, without further ado, let's dive deep and predict the 4 biggest shockers Vince McMahon could be planning for the final SmackDown Live before WrestleMania 35.


#1 Kevin Owens is announced as the Special Guest Referee for A.J. Styles Vs. Randy Orton

Let's be honest here - A.J. Styles Vs. Randy Orton if provided with the right creative freedom would have become one of the best WrestleMania feuds in the company's history.

While the two will still bring the house down this Sunday, both of them will be gracing the high-profile and always-provocative 'The Kevin Owens Show' on the blue brand.

Although Owens returned in stunning fashion, he has been lost in the shuffle and may very well end up being a last-minute participant in the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal.

However, with plans always subject to change, Vince McMahon could pull off something special here by making Owens the special guest referee for this extremely heated encounter on April 7th.

A decision of this stature keeps Owens in the spotlight and would give him a reason to display his unparalleled charisma and wit on the biggest stage of the year.

Do you think Kevin Owens deserves to have this spot at WrestleMania 35?

#2 Vince McMahon adds a stipulation to the WWE Championship match, tells Kofi Kingston to put his career on the line

Will this get personal?

Kofi Kingston's blockbuster feud with 'The New' Daniel Bryan for the WWE Championship has to be the best feud going into this year's WrestleMania 35.

Regardless of the fact that the story is pretty simple, one could feel what would it take for someone like Kingston to reach the very top of the industry by grabbing his hands on the most coveted prize in sports entertainment.

The Dreadlocked Dynamo is now scheduled for a contract signing for his incredibly anticipated tussle with 'The New' Daniel Bryan who has been excellent as the WWE Champion and the antagonist here.

Considering that Vince McMahon's inclusion has kept an element of surprise alive in this feud, there's a genuine possibility that he would stack more odds against the New Day member before he fights for his dream at The Grandest Stage of Them All.

Interfering the contract signing and adding a 'Title Vs. Career' stipulation would be compelling to keep the fans hooked and behind the former Intercontinental Champion.

#3 Andrade defeats Rey Mysterio and finally gets added to the U.S. Championship match at WrestleMania 35

With Samoa Joe all set to defend the United States Championship against Rey Mysterio at WrestleMania 35, the fans are still doubtful whether Andrade will make it to the final cut.

The former NXT Champion is scheduled to be involved in a slugfest with Rey Mysterio tonight and with WrestleMania just five days away, Andrade would be willing to put all on the line to get a match at the Show of Shows.

Considering that his inclusion could make the United States Championship match even more entertaining, the company could take this opportunity and announce a triple threat encounter for April 7th.

Both the performers have proved their worth when colliding against each other and if the company presents them with some quality time, they could literally bring the house down tonight.

#4 Asuka destroys the entire SmackDown women's division and refuses to stand up for them

Since this will be the first time in the company's history that the women's division will be closing WrestleMania in a 'Winner takes all' match, many have stated their displeasure over Asuka's treatment on the blue brand.

The Empress of Tomorrow dropped the gold to Charlotte last week in front of a stunned audience and her loss was successful in gravitating the attention of the fans.

Judging the way the blue brand's women's division has been booked, the company definitely needs to give some answers tonight.

An ideal way here would be to keep Asuka in the spotlight whilst the rest of the female talent demand her to stand up for them and confront the management.

If the company has to end the blue brand on a high note and keep the fans invested for WrestleMania, letting Asuka destroy all the female performers and display some shades of villain would be compelling to keep the fans optimistic about the future.
