It is finally happening! The Miz and Daniel Bryan are set to face each other after numerous of verbal altercations and Twitter exchanges. Tomorrow night, on the go-home episode of WWE SmackDown Live before the Greatest Royal Rumble, many twists and turns can be expected.
The NXT call-ups may finally make their awaited debut, and old storylines may get new angles before the Greatest Royal Rumble event takes place this Friday. Many unanswered questions may get answered too.
Here are five surprising moments that are sure to make the fans drop their jaws if they do indeed take place.
#5 A game-changer for Orton
When you think about the biggest heel Superstars in WWE, Randy Orton stands among the best of all time. His "Legend Killer" gimmick is one of the most vicious, villainous characters in WWE history.
Orton as a babyface has become stale and unappealing and it is an undeniable fact that Orton's current run is not getting over with the WWE Universe. His heel turn can happen any moment, and with Jeff Hardy interrupting his entrance last week, WWE might have given some hints.
WWE needs to bring the cocky and obnoxious Randy Orton back, and one can't rule out the possibility that the inevitable turn happens as soon as this Tuesday night. Orton is yet to have his rematch for the US Championship he lost at 'Mania, and him reaching his breaking point and attacking Hardy tomorrow night will give a fresh angle to the US Title scene.
#4 NXT call-ups make a statement
SmackDown got a good share of NXT Call-ups with SAnitY and Andrade "Cien" Almas being their topmost picks. Both Almas and SAnitY have proved their mettle in the developmental brand, and a move to the main-roster was the need of the hour.
SAnitY, with Eric Young as the leader, is the perfect heel faction and their rivalry with the fan favorites The New Day, is bound to happen at some point in time. A sneak attack would make them instant villains and will kick start their push as the biggest heel tag team on the blue brand.
Almas, on the other hand, is one of the most technically gifted performers in WWE today, and WWE would probably like to have him compete for the United States Title in the near future. The seeds of a budding rivalry with Jeff Hardy might get planted tomorrow night, if El Idolo ambushes the current US Champion and makes his intentions clear.
#3 Asuka faces loss once again
The IIconics made their main-roster debut on the SmackDown after WrestleMania and attacked Charlotte, which helped Carmella cash-in her 'Money in the Bank' briefcase and become the new SmackDown Women's Champion. Their attack continued last week, but Asuka made the save and thus, a tag-team match has been scheduled for this week's episode between Becky Lynch-Asuka and Billie Kay-Peyton Royce.
WWE would not like to mess with The IIconics' momentum as the top heels of the women's division, and there's a good chance Asuka will end up on the losing side. It will be interesting to see how creative books this match, but making the IIconics lose clean would ruin their push drastically.
Asuka's undefeated streak has already been broken, and another loss should not make too much of a difference. WWE may even have Becky Lynch take the pin if they don't want to spoil Asuka's momentum.
#2 Styles beats down Nakamura
For two weeks in a row, AJ Styles has been subject to Shinsuke Nakamura's heinous attacks, which have sent the WWE Universe into a frenzy. While Nakamura is doing well as a villain, one starts to feel bad for the WWE Champion and his pitiful state.
Styles is scheduled to defend his title against Nakamura at the Greatest Royal Rumble event in Jeddah this Friday. With this Tuesday being the go-home episode, Nakamura would once again be looking to wreak havoc on The Phenomenal One. What if, just this time, Styles turns the table and gives Nakamura a taste of his own medicine? The crowd would go nuts, and his actions would get them cheering for the babyface.
The rivalry between the two top Superstars of SmackDown seems far from over, and after two weeks of vicious beatdowns at the hands of his arch nemesis, Styles would be looking for retribution, a glimpse of which we may see on Tuesday.
#1 Big Cass turns out to be Miz's ally
Drafting The Miz to SmackDown Live might be the best decision WWE has made in the Superstar Shakeup. His feud with the ex-General Manager Daniel Bryan is gaining momentum day by day, and WWE has scheduled a MIZ TV segment involving the leader of the YES movement this Tuesday.
Last week on SmackDown, Bryan was the victim of a sneak attack by the returning Big Cass. This can mean two things - a solo heel run or Cass joining forces with The Miz. The possibility of the latter being true might be less, but cannot be discarded. Miz, as a heel, has helped a lot of Superstars get over with the fans. The Miz-Bryan rivalry has money written all over it, and Cass being by The Miz's side adds more interest to the feud.
Cass, as The Miz's bodyguard, will bring a fresh twist to the storyline. Bryan has perfected the art of portraying the underdog character, and the angle gives him another opportunity to outshine the villains and stand out from the rest.
