5 Legitimate Shockers WWE Could Be Planning For SmackDown Live

I'm genuinely excited when I'm writing about SmackDown Live, as the blue brand has constantly proved its edge over Monday Night Raw with their fantastic storylines and impressive in-ring quality.

Let us not forget Becky Lynch and Daniel Bryan who are possibly two of the most interesting characters in all of WWE, let alone SmackDown Live.

While Monday Night Raw would do everything in its power to impress the audience, more eyes will be on the house that A.J. Styles built, with the company igniting more heat between the six competitors fighting for the WWE Championship inside the barbaric Elimination Chamber.

'The New' Daniel Bryan has been solid in his role as a conniving heel who will not compromise his beliefs and ideology to fit in a delusional modern world.

Three solid matches have been announced for the blue brand as of now, with Randy Orton locking horns with Mustafa Ali for the first time, being a more anticipated one.

There is sure to be more focus on who will possibly challenge Asuka for the SmackDown Women's Championship considering the fact that Charlotte still has her eyes on Becky Lynch's spot at WrestleMania 35.

A lot could happen on SmackDown Live this Tuesday which we could prove to be compelling moving forward to Elimination Chamber. But, what could it be? Let's find out.

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

#1 AJ Styles promises to leave WWE if he fails to win gold at Elimination Chamber

Will this be a start to something beautiful?

One of the biggest news that is reportedly doing the rounds is AJ Styles' admission that he has not yet renewed his WWE contract, amidst rumours that he could be a top priority for All Elite Wrestling.

Since Vince McMahon has brought some major alterations to his product, he could very well push another storyline, with the Phenomenal One garnering worldwide attention.

While the former WWE Champion took to Twitter and refused to sign a new contract, there's a possibility that the creative team could use this an opportunity to give more focus to the Prince of Phenomenal.

Promising to leave WWE if he fails to win the gold at Elimination Chamber could bring an element of intrigue in the Men's Elimination Chamber match whilst featuring AJ Styles as the Guy on the blue brand.

#2 Shinsuke Nakamura and Rusev become an official tag-team

In what could possibly be one of the most shocking moments in SmackDown Live history, R-Truth defeated both Shinsuke Nakamura and Rusev in back-to-back matches to claim the United States Championship.

Before Truth even began to celebrate his victory, the Artist and the Bulgarian Brute ganged up on him and savagely assaulted him to a negative reaction from the crowd.

Considering that they were also involved in a backstage segment with the Good Brothers, Nakamura and Rusev are now all set to show their compatibility as tag-team partners this Tuesday.

There's no way the creative team would want to present something if they don't have any long-term planning behind it, and this could very well be the case with this strange team.

Both the competitors could form an alliance and join forces to possibly bring some solid momentum to the tag-team division.

#3 Andrade unmasks Rey Mysterio and disgraces his legacy

There's no denying that WWE have brought some legitimate attention on their upcoming talent recently, with Andrade's incredible push on blue brand reaching new heights every single week.

The Mexican Sensation was featured in an engaging segment last week when he savagely ambushed Rey Mysterio from behind and showed shades of Eddie Guerrero in front of a curious crowd.

Considering that this feud might very well be a lengthy one, giving Andrade more heat and layers in this rivalry would definitely catapult him as a solid threat on the main roster.

Since he has a sense of respect for the former World Champion, he could expose his limitations and disgrace his entire Luchador legacy by unmasking Mysterio and causing more harm to his former idol.

The third-generation superstar possesses all the credentials to be a headlining act on SmackDown Live, and with WWE wanting to present him as the New Eddie Guerrero, this feud could get very interesting.

#4 Charlotte, Lacey Evans and Nikki Cross slug it out to decide the No 1 Contender for Asuka's SmackDown Women's Championship

Since most of the female competitors will be locking horns inside the Elimination Chamber to decide the First-Ever Women's Tag-Team Champions, this leaves a handful of female talent to fight for the SmackDown Women's Championship.

Asuka is having a good run on the blue brand after the Japanese Sensation defeated Becky Lynch, via submission, and successfully retained her gold.

Considering that she needs a fresh competitor to keep her momentum going, it would be incredible if the creative team push Lacey Evans and Nikki Cross as legitimate contenders.

Nikki Cross certainly possesses all the credentials that would work very well against Asuka. On the other hand, Lacey Evans definitely has an attitude about her that the fans would love to see against the Empress of Tomorrow.

With Becky Lynch now suspended infinitely, this could also be a solid way in propelling Charlotte back to the main event scene.

#5 Bray Wyatt is reintroduced as 'The New' Daniel Bryan's henchmen

There's no denying that 'The New' Daniel Bryan has ascended to become one of the most creatively rejuvenating heels in recent WWE history.

The WWE Champion literally commands attention and is seriously solidifying himself as one of the greatest babyfaces and heels of all time.

Considering that he has Rowan on his side now, Bryan's quest to change the world could see more superstars joining him, with a possibility of Bray Wyatt being reintroduced as the Planet Champions' henchmen.

The Eater of Worlds also teased a possible reunion and judging by how sensational of a heel Bryan has become, the company could use this storyline to bring more heat and momentum to the WWE Champion.

With Bryan scheduled to lock horns with Jeff Hardy tonight, will Bray Wyatt finally emerge from the dark and follow the Beard on his quest to change the world?
