5 Surprises that can happen at SmackDown Live tonight (June 5, 2018)

#3. Possible split in Rusev Day

Aiden English and Lana will face Jimmy Uso and Naomi at SmackDown Live

In previous weeks, Lana joined herself up with her husband Rusev once again. The two, along with Aiden English, have now formed a new Rusev Day.

Last week's episode of SmackDown Live saw a dance-off between Lana and Naomi, where Lana took advantage of a distracted Naomi to hit a neckbreaker.

Lana is set to square off against Naomi again, in a Mixed Tag Team match this week. Jimmy Uso is teaming up with Naomi, while Aiden English teams up with Lana.

A possible loss here for Lana would be the perfect excuse for the Ravishing Russian to sow seeds of discontent between Aiden English and Rusev.

When she first came back to join with Rusev, Lana mentioned that things were holding him back, clearly meaning Aiden. Could this be the beginning of the end for Rusev Day?
