5 surprises that could happen on SmackDown Live

#4 Rusev turns on Aiden English

Could this be the beginning of Rusev's big singles push?

There have been many rumours of late that a singles push for Rusev is quite imminent. After all, Lana has been added to the proceedings with Rusev Day and she has been playing Yoko Ono for the most 'over' act in SmackDown Live. We even carried a rumour piece that chronicles WWE's supposed plans for the Bulgarian Brute in the coming weeks.

This could be the week where Rusev takes out Aiden English and embarks on his singles run with Lana by his side. Lana is also scheduled to compete in a singles match with massive Money in the Bank implications. The husband and wife duo may get the push of a lifetime from WWE management.

Of course, fans will be heartbroken to see Rusev turn on English. But then again, a singles push for Rusev could be for the best with regard to the Bulgarian. It has definitely been long overdue.
