WWE SmackDown has put on some solid shows leading up to the upcoming episode. Last week's show was such a massive hit because of the three big returns and the huge heel turn that transpired during the course of the said broadcast.
So, what could potentially happen this week, that could put last week's show to shame, you ask? If WWE SmackDown keeps the surprises coming, then I don't see why they can't repeat their success.
As always, the surprises that I have listed here are not conclusive, and I'm only trying to book the show as a fan of professional wrestling. These are the things that I would like to see as a long-time WWE follower, and let me say at the very outset that I have no insider knowledge.
Now that we've established that, let me also invite you to post fantasy booking scenarios of your own in the comments section below.
#5 Robert Roode returns to take out Roman Reigns
So, Robert Roode was suspended around 30 days ago for failing a Wellness test and while all kinds of rumors are circulating about the man right now, he is due for a return by the time SmackDown comes around. Even though much has been made of the fact that Roode's career will suffer a hit once he returns, you can't keep a man with his work ethic and his legacy in the business down.
And with the return of The Usos, WWE will certainly need a Superstar like him to bolster the ranks of the heel unit of King Corbin and Dolph Ziggler. Robert Roode fits perfectly into this role and if he returns, I don't foresee a scenario where he won't be brought back in this situation. Roode is a veteran and I'm guessing he has learned his lesson already.
#4 The Miz takes a shot at CM Punk
The original conversation is not PG at all, and it would violate many site policies I'm afraid, so I'm just going to link you to a conversation between two of Sportskeeda's finest, discussing CM Punk's controversial tweet in response to a few comments that The Miz made on WWE Backstage. I'm certain that because of the buzz that it has generated, WWE will try, in some manner to generate it into a feud, that could potentially bring CM Punk back into the ring. I'm pretty certain that The Miz could take a shot at the 'Best in the World', laying the foundation for a feud.
#3 Miz and Morrison become Number 1 contenders
John Morrison made a pretty shocking return to WWE not long ago, and the fact of the matter is that he was in The Miz's locker room on last week's show. The fact that both men have teamed in the past has led many people to believe that they will be a tag-team unit, going forward.
They can really help spice up the tag team division as there's no realistic team to take the titles from The New Day, at the moment. The Miz and Morrison vs. The New Day will be a money feud, especially after John Morrison showed recently us what a great heel he could be as Johnny Impact.
#2 Sonya Deville turns on Mandy Rose
Honestly, Sonya Deville hasn't been too thrilled with the fact that Mandy Rose hasn't been by her corner in recent outings and this could lead to the dissolution of the unit. Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville could use this opportunity to feud against one another and elevate each other too.
Mandy Rose is obviously a lot higher in the pecking order as compared to Sonya Deville, with the Otis storyline getting the kind of attention that it is, right now. This is Sonya Deville's chance to capitalize on the story as well.
#1 Dolph Ziggler takes Otis out
But then, there's a bomb waiting to explode and it could certainly happen this week with regard to Dolph Ziggler and Otis, someone who has also clearly interested in the same woman as he is. Otis is essentially the lovable sort of individual that every wrestling fan is drawn to, at once.
Dolph Ziggler has a far-greater chance with Mandy Rose in a real-life situation, which makes him the heel in a pro wrestling situation, doesn't it? So, Ziggler could garner a lot more heat by simply attacking Otis in the backstage area and laying him out, clearing his path to Rose!
