5 things that could happen on Smackdown Live next week

#3 Mojo vs. Ryder and Bludgeon Brothers vs. Ascension Announced for Clash PPV

I think that Mojo Rawley vs. Zack Ryder is pretty much a lock for the Clash of Champions card. SmackDown Live only has 4 titles, so they need to fill out the show with other stuff. They could do another women’s match but decided to put them all in the same match, because obviously, that makes a ton of sense when you have a sparing roster as it is.

Mojo vs. Ryder makes for 6 matches, and Harper & Rowan vs. The Ascension can be the 7th. One of them will end up getting the pre-show slot, leaving 6 matches on the main card, which I’m completely fine with. The Fatal Four-Way match for the Tag Titles should get a lot of time, and the Owens/Zayn vs. Nakamura/Orton match will likely get a lot as well. Expect that match to go on last, by the way. That’s right, they are going to put a tag team match with no champions in the main event slot of the Clash of Champions PPV event. They did it in 2011, so at least there’s some precedent there.

About the author

I got my first big break writing for 411Mania back in 2004. I did a small spot in a big weekly piece that was written by one of the site's top writers. I quickly added the duty of being the live recapper for episodes of SmackDown, and in 2005 was given my own weekly column, which I did for a few years. I gave up writing (mostly) to start a family but got back into it, still at 411, a little over 3 years later. For another couple of years, I wrote 2-3 columns per week for the website before finding paid work elsewhere, and eventually wound up at SportsKeeda.

I am also the co-founder of the RBR: Weekly Wrestling Talk podcast, which started in the summer of 2005 and is still going strong today, almost 15 years later. Due to school, work, and family commitments, I left the team in 2011 but still remain a part of the family.
