This is straight fire

After Monday Night Raw puts its best foot forward to give us a solid show, WWE will have to advance the narrative and continue the momentum for WrestleMania 35 with another solid edition of SmackDown Live.

The blue brand is widely regarded for its incredible storytelling and the fine blend of wrestling with a suitable amount of entertainment.

Since two big matches are already confirmed for WrestleMania 35, the company could fast forward the proceedings for their next big PPV, the Elimination Chamber.

With the Women's Tag-Team Championships up for grabs in three weeks at the Toyota Center, six teams from both Raw and SmackDown will battle it out with a chance to make history.

After the Riott Squad and the unstoppable force of Nia Jax and Tamina have already made their way into the fold, chances are that more teams could be announced tonight.

With the blue brand crowning new United States and SmackDown Tag-Team Champions at the Royal Rumble, the fans are certainly excited for what might transpire ahead.

Moreover, there will be significant focus on 'The New' Daniel Bryan who found a way out of his WWE Championship match against AJ Styles, thanks to Erick Rowan.

Since Monday Night Raw brought their best foot forward in Phoenix tonight, will we see SmackDown Live outshine them tonight? Let's see.

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


#5 Charlotte Flair snaps and brutally injures Becky Lynch out of the WrestleMania card for stealing her moment

If storytelling is anything to take into consideration, then Becky Lynch's Road to WrestleMania 35 could see a major roadblock tonight on SmackDown Live.

The blue brand is widely recognized for its brilliant narratives, and the same can be expected tonight when Charlotte Flair finally snaps and beats the daylights out of Becky Lynch.

This will be pretty efficient if the company is indeed serious in promoting a solid main event for WrestleMania 35. The Queen attacking The Man and brutally ambushing her could lead to the latter being firced to the sidelines.

A solid injury angle could pan out perfectly and with Becky out of the main event picture, it could be Charlotte who goes on to take her spot considering that she feels that Lynch stole her moment.

Becky can work pretty incredible as an underdog and with the Man still recovering from an injured knee, Charlotte's brutal side could be on full display leading us to believe that Becky is now out of WrestleMania.

#4 The 'New' Daniel Bryan introduces the 'New' Bray Wyatt to the world

This is going to be insane

While many of us criticized the idea of Rowan interfering in the WWE Championship match, there are many rumors surrounding Daniel Bryan and his quest to change the world.

There's no denying that the WWE Champion, or the Planet's Champion to be more precise, has been clinical as a heel and is certainly bringing rejuvenation in the main event scene on the blue brand.

With Rowan joining Bryan in what could become a monstrous alliance, we could see Bray Wyatt making a shocking return to the squared circle tonight in Phoenix.

The Eater of Worlds, who has been rumored to make a return since a long, long time, cryptically teased joining hands with the 'New' Daniel Bryan in this new revolution on Twitter.

Since the idea on the paper seems revolutionary, it would take a genuine engaging storyline to keep the momentum going and make things more compelling for the WWE Championship.

#3 The King of Strong Style and The Destroyer join hands to decimate Mustafa Ali

Mustafa Ali's meteoric rise to the top of the blue brand has suffered an unfortunate roadblock as the Heart of 205 Live is now currently engaged in a feud with Samoa Joe.

Since their recent alterations have all ended up with Joe destroying Ali, the latter took advantage of the situation and got the better off Joe by eliminating him from the Royal Rumble.

Moreover, Mustafa was also successful in eliminating the New United States Champion, Shinsuke Nakamura and while it was all done to look Ali strong, the creative team could be planning something fantastic for tonight.

Both the former NXT Champions could join forces to destroy Mustafa Ali in order to bring more sympathy and eyes on Ali's underdog tale.

These three could be in line for a match at the Elimination Chamber and this could be an incredible way to start the proceedings for the United States Championship.

#2 Vince McMahon reminds Randy Orton of the Viper that punted him and taunts him that SmackDown is AJ Styles' house

Since Vince McMahon is supposedly planning a blockbuster match between AJ Styles and Randy Orton for WrestleMania 35, the build-up to that feud could start from tonight.

There's no denying that Randy Orton is not as big of a superstar as he was years back, and while his vicious heel turn did bring the best out of him, but the Viper is finding himself lost in the shuffle today.

Considering that the Phenomenal One has now lost the chance to get his hands on the WWE Championship, he could find himself finding a route to reach the Grandest Stage of Them All.

With Vince McMahon being heavily involved on what's transpiring on the blue brand, he could very well see Orton in a backstage segment and intentionally fume him.

Trading shots that he is standing in the house that AJ Styles built could be enough to convince Randy Orton to chase the Prince of Phenomenal.

Orton was the man who punted Vince McMahon and is possibly one of the biggest heels in the business. Therefore, going after the Phenomenal One would be a blockbuster story.

#1 AJ Styles locks horns with Rey Mysterio for the first time

Fantasy warfare coming alive

With Monday Night Raw giving us two marquee matches in Drew Mcintyre vs. Braun Strowman and Ronda Rousey vs. Bayley, SmackDown Live could go a different route and give us a proper wrestling match.

Since Rey Mysterio has been killing it on the blue brand alongside Andrade 'Cien' Almas, it would be ideal if the creative team continues to keep the momentum by booking a solid dream match tonight.

The Phenomenal One is one of the most talented superstars in the entire world, and locking horns in a dream match against Rey Mysterio could bring maximum viewership from the hardcore fans.

The blue brand has played a huge role in giving us some solid in-ring matches and this fantasy warfare could only propel the quality of the show.

AJ Styles vs. Rey Mysterio is a match we have all wanted to see and with the WWE taking some risky decisions lately, this dream match could very well happen tonight.
