5 Biggest Shockers WWE Could Be Planning For SmackDown Live Tonight

Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia experienced an astonishing episode of Monday Night Raw, with Ronda Rousey and The Shield making mainstream headlines all over the world.

Since Fastlane is just days away now, WWE could be looking to progress very clinically carry the same momentum of the red brand to SmackDown Live.

While The Shield's reunification caught eyeballs, Ronda Rousey's brutal assault on Becky Lynch took the wrestling world by storm, with The Man now in serious trouble of losing her spot in the main event of WrestleMania 35.

Moreover, Asuka's legitimate injury during a recent live event could coerce Vince McMahon to make some serious alterations heading into The Show of Shows in New Jersey this year.

Kevin Owens' shocking return last week gravitated the right amount of spotlight on the WWE Championship whilst keeping Kofi Kingston protected for a miracle at the MetLife Stadium.

With Owens locking horns with 'The New' Daniel Bryan, how will The Prizefighter prepare for one of the biggest matches of his career, and with the most coveted prize in sports entertainment on the line, can he afford to take any risk tonight?

Meanwhile, A.J. Styles' backstage altercation with Randy Orton could also see an advancement tonight and a possible clash at WrestleMania 35 could be in the works.

Here are the 5 biggest shockers WWE could be planning for SmackDown Live.

#1 Ronda Rousey is announced as the Special Guest Referee for Charlotte Vs. Becky Lynch at Fastlane

Will The Rowdy One deliver something special tonight?

In a shocking turn of events, Ronda Rousey has now established herself as a full-fledged heel on the main roster and could be willing to do more damage to her opponents on The Road to WrestleMania 35.

With Charlotte and Becky Lynch now confirmed to collide at Fastlane, the company could bring more intrigue to the feud by inserting Ronda Rousey as the Special Guest Referee for the bout.

This would be beneficial in gravitating more empathy towards The Man who will obviously struggle to get the job done, especially after Rousey's brutal ambush on Monday Night Raw.

Moreover, The Rowdy One's arrival on the blue brand would be shocking in it's own right and could play a significant role in garnering more nuclear heat for and Charlotte Flair.

#2 Lacey Evans shockingly wins the SmackDown Women's Championship after winning the Women's Battle Royal

Time to bring class to the women's division

With shocking reports of Asuka suffering an unfortunate injury at a recent live doing the rounds, there's a legitimate possibility that Vince McMahon could be diverting his attention towards a new contender.

While Mandy Rose has been ascended on the blue brand recently, Lacey Evans' endorsement on the main roster could coerce the Boss to propel her to the top of the industry.

Since the company's aim is to garner nuclear heat towards her, Evans could really flourish as a classic heel on the blue brand until The Empress of Tomorrow returns to capture her throne.

It's a damn shame that the former NXT Women's Champion could relinquish the SmackDown Women's Championship tonight and this would only pave the way for someone like Evans to step up and prove her mettle on the main roster.

A possible victory in the Women's Battle Royal match could be interesting whilst keeping Mandy Rose, Carmella, and Naomi as strong contenders.

#3 Sami Zayn returns and wins the United States Championship

WWE are advertising a U.S. Championship Open Challenge tonight by R-Truth and with the company continuing to deliver something startling every week, tonight's SmackDown Live could be no different.

There's a genuine possibility that Sami Zayn could return tonight on the blue brand and go on to win the United States Championship.

Since the Underdog from the Underground is cleared for an in-ring return, his astonishing presence on the blue brand could pave the way for a blockbuster showdown with Kevin Owens at WrestleMania 35.

While R-Truth has been endorsing John Cena as his inspiration for U.S. Open Challenge, there's no way the company would continue to propel him as a fighting champion every single week.

If there's a momentous time for Sami Zayn to shock the world and grab the top spot on the blue brand, it is now.

#4 Randy Orton gets personal with A.J. Styles and trespasses 'the real house that A.J. Styles' built'

Despite not being in the WWE Championship picture anymore, A.J. Styles is still rumored to have a headlining bout with Randy Orton this year at WrestleMania 35.

Considering that the seeds have already been planted for an epic showdown, it seems like the company could be making things more personal between the two.

A possible way to ignite this feud would be to let The Viper play his vicious mind games and make things more personal with The Phenomenal One.

Since he questioned the former WWE Champion's pride last week in a backstage interview, The Apex Predator could trespass the house that A.J. Styles built tonight and makes things more intriguing heading into The Show of Shows.

This would be a perfect way to keep Styles Vs. Orton in the drivers' seat whilst keeping the spotlight on The Phenomenal One as the corner stone of the blue brand.

#5 Kevin Owens tells Kofi Kingston that The New Day is holding him back

Kevin Owens' shocking return to the squared circle has brought a major alteration in the WWE Championship picture on the Road to WrestleMania 35.

With the Prizefighter now colliding with 'The New' Daniel Bryan at Fastlane, there's no way the company wouldn't keep Kofi Kingston out of the spotlight tonight.

Since the former Universal Champion has the experience of holding a major championship on the main roster, he could coerce Kingston to look towards the bigger picture and sideline The New Day.

It's understandable that Vince McMahon wants to ascend Kofi as the ultimate underdog, but a possibility of relinquishing his soul to fulfil his ambition could work very well in this storyline.

Considering that the company has always struggled in imploding The New Day, this is the best possible chance for them to plant the seeds on an explosive implosion heading into WrestleMania 35.
