Will we see Becky Lynch on SmackDown?

The Survivor Series go-home show of RAW saw a lot of exciting action in the ring and outside of it.

We saw the return of Brock Lesnar, who destroyed The Singh Brothers and Jinder Mahal, while hyping his match against AJ Styles at Survivor Series, Braun Strowman taking out the entire RAW tag team division and getting a match with Lesnar and Corbin, but the big talking point of the show was Becky Lynch and the SmackDown roster's invasion of RAW, and the SmackDown Women's champion putting RAW Women's champion Ronda Rousey, in a Dis-arm-her.

That invasion and Lynch's incredible actions has set up the SmackDown go-home show nicely, as we wait to see what SmackDown has in store before Survivor Series.

Here are 4 things that should not happen on this week's SmackDown:


#4 Ronda Rousey attacking Becky Lynch

WWE, don't fix what's not broken!

The picture of a bloodied, smiling Becky Lynch is probably the BEST way to hype up her match against Ronda Rousey at Survivor Series. Rousey, who is a babyface, has encountered one of the baddest heels we've seen in the women's division for a long time, and to keep Rousey's undefeated run going, she must look like the underdog in this match-up, and on RAW, she did look a little worse for.

The attack by Lynch has got the WWE Universe talking, with many comparing it to feuds from the Attitude Era. With such a buzz around the match, the best way for WWE to build and hype the feud is by having Becky away from the ring, not interested in a confrontation, which would give her more heat, while a battered and bruised Rousey is nursing her injured arm and is searching for Lynch to get retribution.

But, Rousey attacking Lynch would not go against the grain and stick to the standard format that we expect before most SmackDown and RAW shows ahead of Survivor Series. Keep Lynch away, which would get her some hear from the WWE Universe, while make Rousey look like the courageous and bold babyface.

#3 Boring promos

This is what we have come to expect from most shows before Survivor Series - WWE Superstars cutting promos on the opponents that they would meet on Sunday. But, these promos are incredibly boring and follow the same script.

Take, for example, AJ Styles. He will most probably get on the mic and hype up his match against Brock Lesnar, and speak about how he is not "intimidated" by The Beast. As a babyface, he won't assault fellow Superstars, but perhaps that is what is exactly needed to show that he can rattle The Beast, and can be as vicious as Lesnar.

Styles should be booked in a match where he unleashes his inner demon, much like what he did in his feud with Samoa Joe. Perhaps he could be booked against a bigger opponent and prevails over her him in the match, showing that he can dominate.

#2 Squash matches

On this week's SmackDown, we will most likely a few interesting matches from those competing at Survivor Series, including AJ Styles, The Bar, Shinsuke Nakamura, and even maybe Becky Lynch.

While the idea of showing that you're ready for a big PPV by getting a huge win in the ring is good, the WWE Universe won't like to see squash matches where the opponent is defeated with little or no effort.

WWE's stories are built not just by showing utter domination and decimating the opponent; there is also the element of failing, and recovering to get back to winning ways, that makes matches and feuds interesting.

By showing their shortcomings and vulnerabilities, it can be used in a later time, say in a big title match or at this weekend's Survivor Series match, to build a story around.

#1 A RAW invasion

Do we want to see more of this on SmackDown?

Please, WWE, let's not go down this route again! We've seen it far too often and most fans just expect it the week before Survivor Series.

Don't get me wrong, the women of SmackDown invading RAW was perfectly built as it hyped up the match between Rousey and Lynch, and continued to show Becky Lynch as a ruthless, devious heel, who will go to any extent to get a win and the heads of opponents.

But, the RAW women repeating what the SmackDown women did would be lazy and downright boring storytelling. Instead, you could have them stopped outside the arena or have more security added to keep them from entering the arena.

We could maybe even see the women of SmackDown get a day off and not be seen on television, and then attack the RAW women Superstars, outside the arena. Just don't make it look like the odds are even and that the two groups hate each other, just a week before Survivor Series.
