5 things that can happen on Smackdown Live (23 October 2018)

Welcome to the A Show
Welcome to the A Show

Smackdown was considered the B Show, and when Shane McMahon and Daniel Bryan ran the show, the show felt a bit obscure at times.

During this time Paige (the current Smackdown Live General Manager) was working as an in-ring performer and suffered a neck injury. She took over as the general manager for the show while Daniel Bryan started doing what he loves to do, Wrestling.

In the course of time, we have seen Paige perform some of the best segments on TV including his moments with The Miz right behind the curtain, and mimick Maryse as well. These segments created moments that fans loved and wait for the GM every week.

After what transpired last week and with WWE Evolution happening this Sunday, October 28 at Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Uniondale, NY there is a lot of responsibility on the brand in terms of delivering some great content for the fans, and without proper provisioning, the same cannot happen.

So let's find out the 5 things that can happen on Smackdown Live this Tuesday Night:

#5 Paige Addresses WWE Performance Center Situation

As Sportskeeda reported earlier today the two wrestlers currently running the Women's Division storyline on the blue brand, Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch were involved in a fight at WWE Performance Center.

This is really an interesting build-up considering the fact that the two wrestlers will be involved in a match at WWE Evolution, and the company, especially the officials on the blue brand are making every effort to make the women-centric storylines on the brand effective as the women's only pay-per-view draws close.

This will really play well on the show, and Paige will be addressing this situation in a manner that the segment and storyline become better which will help the brand before the match this Sunday.

#4 AJ Styles and Daniel Bryan face off

Yes Yes Yes!
Yes Yes Yes!

AJ Styles is the current World Heavyweight Champion and is over with the fans, and Daniel Bryan is the most loved wrestler in the entire company. The two wrestlers perform as a babyface, and while the WWE Universe seemed divided when Daniel Bryan defeated The Miz to win the #1 contender spot for the championship.

The only way WWE can pull it off is by making either of them heel or by adding The Miz in the mix. 'The Most Must-See' wrestler is the best talker on the mic on Tuesday Nights, and with his entry into this storyline, the work will be of top notch as well as the promos will be loved by all.

The best way to make this segment better is by making The Miz challenge Daniel Bryan for his #1 contender spot, and if the leader of the yes movement loses to the 'Awesome' superstar, The Miz is added to the feud and championship storyline.

It would be a 'Best for Business' idea.

#3 Rusev and Aiden English square off for 'Rusev Day' copyright

Who owns 'Rusev Day'?
Who owns 'Rusev Day'?

Aiden English started 'What happened in Milwaukee?' storyline and it looked like the best thing on Smackdown. The fans were anxious to know about what happened between Lana and Aiden English in Milwaukee.

When the storyline unfolded the following week, it sounded like the worst storyline because all it stated was a statement from Lana which was misunderstood by Aiden English, and the storyline ended there.

The WWE still tried to drag this storyline, and we saw Aiden English come to the ring before Lana and Rusev interrupted him, and Rusev's former friend was barely able to survive. If the WWE really wants to pull off this story, they must make it for the 'Rusev Day' franchise.

While the result is obvious, this twist will save WWE from the shame they may receive from fans, as they didn't build up a good story.

#2 Andrade Cien Almas claims to be a worthy contender for the U.S. Championship

Mexican Heritage!
Mexican Heritage!

Andrade Cien Almas is a powerful performer in the ring and if his previous matches with fellow superstars on the yellow brand and AJ Styles on Tuesday Nights is any testament to my statement we can expect him to put his point forward for the U.S. Championship.

While Seth Rollins has made the Intercontinental Championship better through his work, Shinsuke Nakamura has made the championship irrelevant. Jeff Hardy's storyline with Randy Orton added more disrespect to this championship.

Andrade Cien Almas is a proud Mexican, and it would be a great way for the WWE to showcase him as the next U.S. Champion because the wrestler is talented in the ring and has a heel manager to make his character look great. A Championship win will add more value to his career and character as he hasn't held any championship since coming to the main roster.

#1 Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair add more fuel to their feud

Becky Lynch has lived her heel character to the fullest, and with this change, she is more dangerous than ever before. The first point in this slide was an example of what she is capable of, and is currently doing on the Blue Brand.

Her work has raised the stakes of the women's division on the blue brand, and with WWE Evolution around the corner, the company will leave no stone unturned to make this feud as the highlight of the show on Sunday and Tuesday Nights.

It would make sense if these two end the show with a brawl that goes beyond the ring and all females from the blue brand come to separate them but to no avail.

'The Straight fire' is ready to put 'The Queen' in her place, and if the current storyline is any hint, we may see them tear the house down on Tuesday and Sunday.
