5 smart booking decisions that can make WWE Clash of Champions a success

#2 Daniel Bryan helps Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn win

Without KO and Sami, Smackdown will be a damp squib

WWE dropped the ball big time by making Smackdown play second fiddle to RAW in the past year or so. With the majority of the WWE's larger than life Superstars drafted to RAW, the blue brand was always a Superstar or two short. The result was catastrophic as Smackdown failed to deliver even half decent events throughout the year. But a couple of Superstars proved to be the saving grace that Smackdown so desperately needed.

Nobody saw the Sami Zayn heel turn coming even from a mile away. Ever since Zayn assisted Kevin Owens to defeat Shane Mcmahon at Hell in a Cell, both of them have taken the blue brand by storm. The team of Zayn and Owens is the best thing about Smackdown at the moment, and it makes it even better that the two are excellent in-ring performers and deserve to get their hands raised in victory at Clash of Champions.

If the tag team of Randy Orton and Shinsuke Nakamura manages to defeat them at Clash of Champions, then both Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens will be fired from Smackdown, and losing the duo to RAW is something that the blue brand can't afford. Therefore, the best booking decision for this match will be to book a Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn win.

Both Randy Orton and Shinsuke Nakamura have had a disastrous 2017. So, a clean victory for KO and Sami seems impossible at the moment as it will make 'The Viper' and 'The King of Strong Style' look weak.

The WWE has been teasing a Daniel Bryan heel turn for weeks now, and the Clash of Champions PPV is the perfect opportunity to do so. Bryan turning heel and backstabbing Shane Mcmahon will certainly make Clash of Champions very interesting.
