After delivering an epic episode of Monday Night Raw, WWE will be live again from the Smoothie Kings Center with SmackDown Live. With so many shocking moments that transpired at WrestleMania 34, there are a lot of questions that need answering tonight.
Judging by the excitement in the air after a solid Raw edition, the pressure is on the blue brand to carry the momentum.
Daniel Bryan's inspiring return, Shinsuke Nakamura's shocking heel turn, and Charlotte's victory, all will be addressed tonight on SmackDown Live.
Here are the 5 Bold Predictions for SmackDown Live after WrestleMania 34.
#1 Asuka's not done with Charlotte
In a classic Title Vs Streak battle, Charlotte emerged victorious by defeating Asuka via submission. The victory did come as a shock but could be beneficial as far as long-term booking is concerned.
With the Empress not showing up on Monday Night Raw, there's a huge possibility that she could instate a rematch clause against the Queen. Both the superstars went toe-to-toe in what was indeed the match of the night.
Judging by the story told in the ring, it makes sense to have another blockbuster encounter at WWE Backlash. Expect Asuka to challenge the SmackDown Women's Champion to a rematch tonight.
#2 Andrade 'Cien' Almas makes a sensational debut
After an impressive run in NXT, it's finally time for Andrade 'Cien' Almas to make a sensational debut on the main roster.
Superstars like Ember Moon, No Way Jose and Authors of Pain made their presence felt in New Orleans on Raw which almost confirms that the former NXT Champion could be heading to SmackDown Live.
Debuting tonight on the blue brand will introduce 'the Mexican' to a wide range of audience. Since the 28-year old Superstar is a heel, the company could capitalize on his momentum and have him attack a crowd-favorite.
Andrade is a versatile performer with tremendous personality. A superstar of his caliber could rise to the occasion; catapulting himself to the top of the mountain on SmackDown. Expect the Mexican to blow the roof off tonight.
#3 A Tag team turmoil to decide the number 1 contender for the SmackDown Tag-team championship
In what was a fun, enjoyable match, Bludgeon Brothers' annihilated the Usos and New Day to become the new SmackDown Live Tag-Team Champions. Now, the victory doesn't come as a surprise, considering how strong the WWE books them.
However, tonight, Shane O'Mac could book a blockbuster Tag-team turmoil to decide the #1 contender for the coveted prize. Since these matches are fast and entertaining, they could heat up the crowd with some fun spots.
The Usos and New Day have done what they could to elevate the Tag-team division on the blue brand with very high success rate. So, it would make more sense, if the company gives some other team, an opportunity to shine.
#4 Jeff Jarrett returns as the SmackDown Live manager
Regardless of what transpired in the past, Jeff Jarrett is finally back where he belongs. The prolific performer recently entered the Hall of Fame Class of 2018. Considering the personality he carries, we could see him more often than not.
The rumor mill is swirling with reports suggesting that Jeff Jarrett will replace Daniel Bryan as the new SmackDown Live GM.
Daniel Bryan's heroic return to the squared circle has ensured that his days as the corporate guy are over.
Shane O'Mac could open the show tonight by relinquishing Bryan off his managerial duties, to pursue more significant things. Capitalizing on the situation, Jeff Jarrett could make a blockbuster return as the new GM of SmackDown Live.
#5 Daniel Bryan interrupts Shinsuke Nakamura and AJ Styles
Shinsuke Nakamura's epic heel turn had the whole WWE Universe in splits. The highly anticipated dream match was unable to exceed expectations at the Super Dome.
However, the unthinkable heel turn has excited the audience to tune in to SmackDown Live tonight.
There's no denying that "The King of Strong Style" will have to address his betrayal tonight with a possible confrontation with AJ Styles. Moreover, the company could book something incredible and involve Daniel Bryan to heat up the proceedings.
After defeating Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens, it would make sense if Bryan goes after the WWE Championship. Considering that Nakamura would be in his path, this would make for some good popcorn entertainment when these three icons confront each other.
