#4. The power struggle spills over to SmackDown

Both RAW and SmackDown are managed by Adam Pearce and Sonya Deville (on-screen, anyway). While Sonya Deville is supposed to be lower on the pecking order, she has taken certain matters to her own hands, much to the frustration of Adam Pearce.

We're referring to the power struggle that the two authority figures have had recently, especially after Sonya Deville reinstated Charlotte Flair without Adam Pearce's consent.

The backstage conflict could continue to brew on SmackDown, which would be a bit surprising - but it makes sense. It's good to see storylines that can spill over from brand to brand.


#3. Aleister Black makes an impactful return to SmackDown

Aleister Black's return to SmackDown is imminent. We haven't seen him on WWE TV for over half a year now. Since he wasn't part of the April 15th WWE releases, the question became when and not if Aleister Black would return to SmackDown.

What we know for sure is that he is returning as a heel. But what if there is a twist and he returns as a babyface?
