The episodes after WrestleMania always bring excitement. Following a blockbuster edition of RAW this week, Smackdown delivered a great show. The blue brand had some unforeseen surprises which were expected after the Showcase of Immortals.
WWE already announced that the Usos would defend their belts against Hardy Boyz this week. Jeff Hardy and Matt Hardy became the SmackDown Tag Team Champions while IIconics successfully defended the Women's Tag Team Title against local competitors.
Most appalling moment of the night was when Braun Strowman appeared on Smackdown Live. Drew McIntyre, who is from the red brand, appeared on Smackdown Live as he teamed up with The Bar to take on New Day in the main event. Lacey Evans continued her ambush as she attacked the double champion, Becky Lynch. Surprisingly, Daniel Bryan was absent from the blue brand after losing the WWE Title at the Grandest Stage of Them All.
The Smackdown Live episode gave us hints about the post-WrestleMania storylines. Here we discuss three things Vince McMahon's billion dollar company hinted on Smackdown Live after the Show of Shows:
#3 The Usos could move to RAW after the Superstar Shakeup
The Usos retained the Smackdown Tag Team Titles against three other teams at the Showcase of Immortals. Following their victory at Metlife Stadium, they were scheduled to put the twin belts on the line against Hardy Boyz. The two teams offered a remarkable bout on the blue brand.
The Hardy Boyz never grabbed the Smackdown Tag Team Titles, and they were eager to win the belts when they were given the opportunity. Jeff and Matt made history this week as they became seven-time Tag Team Champions in WWE. Only Dudley Boyz are ahead of the newly crowned Smackdown Tag Team Champions.
With the loss this week, Jimmy and Jey could be heading to RAW next week. The twin brothers have been part of Smackdown Live for a long time where they won the Smackdown Tag Team Titles four times.
Considering the Usos have faced most of the tag teams of blue brand, they have gigantic possibly to switch brands. With Usos on the flagship show, we could see fresh tag team matches, and they will be aiming to win the RAW Tag Team Titles after conquering the Smackdown Tag Team division.
#2 Lacey Evans could face Becky Lynch at Money in the Bank
Becky Lynch made history after winning the mainevent at the Showcase of Immortals. Lynch's post-WrestleMania challenger was hinted on RAW, and it got confirmed on Smackdown Live. Lacey Evans attacked The Man on the flagship show, and she did it again on Smackdown Live.
Considering the attack of Lacey, it is clear that the rivalry will take place in both brands as Lynch is champion of RAW and Smackdown Live. Lacey Evans confronted the double champion on RAW this week, but people thought that the Sassy Southern Belle might go back as she has been doing it for months. However, it was different this time when Lacey punched Lynch.
Lacey continued it on the Smackdown Live this week when a vicious right hand rocked The Man. Though Lynch fought back on RAW, she could not do it on the blue brand, but the Champion was visibly upset.
Considering Lynch is a crowd puller, and Lacey is a great heel, it could turn out to be a great rivalry. They two women already garnered the attention of WWE Universe this week. Money in the Bank is the next pay-per-view of Vince McMahon's billion dollar company, and they could headline the show.
#1 Braun Strowman could be the US Championship challenger
Samoa Joe squashed Rey Mysterio to retain the United States Championship at the Grandest Stage of Them All. Joe certainly made a strong statement after he humiliated the former WWE Champion. Joe assaulted R-Truth this week, but Braun Strowman made a shocking entry on Smackdown Live. Strowman attempted to Powerslam Joe, but the latter managed to escape.
Judging by the US Championship match of WrestleMania, the company could be building Samoa Joe as a destroyer. Strowman's appearance on Smackdown Live made things exciting, and the Monster among Men could be the next opponent of the US Champion.
With the current momentum of Joe, it could be a great match if the two men compete for the title. Strowman is part of the red brand, and he could swap the brands next week as he has been part of RAW since the reintroduction of the brand split. Despite being the top guy of Vince McMahon's billion dollar company, Strowman never managed to grab a singles title. Hence, the US Championship could be his maiden singles title if he gets a title shot.
