3 Things we could see on SmackDown Live after WWE Super ShowDown (11 June 2019)

Following an impressive show at WWE Super ShowDown, the anticipation will be high this week. The blue brand offered an exciting episode last week as Goldberg made his SmackDown Live debut. The Undertaker and Goldberg had a face-off SmackDown Live before heading to Saudi Arabia.

We saw a total of ten matches at Super ShowDown. Kofi Kingston defended the most coveted prize of the blue brand against Dolph Ziggler, while Finn Balor retained the Intercontinental Title against Andrade.

Moreover, Lars Sullivan won his main roster debut match by disqualification. Roman Reigns, who was the biggest acquisition of SmackDown Live at Superstar Shake-Up, suffered a shocking loss against Shane McMahon. The dream match between Undertaker and Goldberg turned into disaster with a number of botches in the squared circle.

Since Stomping Grounds is just two weeks away, the excitement will be high for the upcoming episode of SmackDown Live. We are expected to have an action-packed episode of the blue brand.

Here we discuss three things we could see on SmackDown Live this week.

#3 Aleister Black could get a new opponent

There is no denying that Aleister Black is one of the most talented Superstars of the blue brand. Bray Wyatt has been offering excellent segments on RAW, while Black has been doing it on SmackDown Live. The Dutch Destroyer is patiently waiting for a new opponent and he could get it on the blue brand this week.

Black made his main roster debut after Elimination Chamber this year. He teamed up with Ricochet to form a Tag Team but they split up at Super Shake-Up. Prior to his main roster debut, Black was a colossal name in NXT. Apart from winning the NXT Title, Black also became the Male Competitor of the Year.

Black's dark persona garners the attention of the WWE Universe. The former NXT Champion's recent segments have been spectacular. Several Superstars are competent to face Black on SmackDown Live. In my humble opinion, the former Cruiserweight Champion Buddy Murphy could be an ideal choice for Black as the latter is also searching for his new rival on the blue brand.

#2 Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross could assault Bayley

Alexa Bliss, who was a Wild Card entrant last week, became the number one contender of WWE SmackDown Women's Champion Bayley. The Goddess hosted a special edition of 'A Moment of Bliss' last week when things got heated. Bliss subsequently defeated Carmella and Charlotte Flair to become the number one challenger of Bayley at Stomping Grounds.

Alexa Bliss and Bayley had a rivalry in the past when the latter was part of the red brand. Bayley won the most coveted women's prize or the red brand but she dropped it to Alexa Bliss at Payback.

Although Bayley attempted to regain the belt at Extreme Rules, but could not defeat the Goddess. Hence, the five-time Women's Champion is unbeaten against Bayley in pay-per-views and it will be interesting to see if Bliss wins the SmackDown Women's Title at Stomping Grounds.

Considering the new alliance between Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross, the latter is likely to play an essential role in this feud. Similar to Bliss, Cross could show up on the blue brand through Wild Card Rule. The team of Cross and Bliss will leave no stone unturned to wreck Bayley and we might see a preview this week.

#1 Finn Balor and Randy Orton could start a new rivalry

Who is next for Balor?

Both Finn Balor and Randy Orton were part of Super ShowDown last week. As a matter of fact, both Superstars won their respective matches in Saudi Arabia. Balor unleased his alter ego at Super ShowDown to defeat Andrade, while Randy Orton pinned Triple H in an outstanding battle.

Balor has been a great champion after winning the Intercontinental Title at Show of Shows. Considering Balor and Andrade fought a couple of times in the last few weeks, they are not likely to extend the feud. Orton, on the other hand, will be searching for a new rival after overcoming The Game. The Viper gave a hint of his next prey on Twitter when he called out Finn Balor.

The thirteen-time WWE Champion is known for his World Tite reigns. However, Orton's first title was the Intercontinental Title as he won it at Armageddon in 2003. Moreover, a rivalry between Finn Balor and Randy Orton could be a fresh feud for the WWE Universe.

And @FinnBalor for that matter. First title I ever won is around his waist. Maybe I want it back. https://t.co/r3B0yKuTuS
