Clash of Champions edition: 5 things that could happen on SmackDown live next week

#3 Rusev and English have a big celebration

I am betting on Rusev and English on Sunday, which means on Tuesday a celebration will be in order for the new tag champs. Rusev will be given the key to a new city! Sunday, December 17th will be declared SUPER Rusev Day!

Aiden will sing his most epic song yet, after winning a much-deserved and earned championship alongside a man who has been so criminally underutilized it almost feels like WWE is intentionally trying to throw away money.

Seriously, how is Rusev not the WWE Champion? He NEEDS to win that belt this summer. The man is the total package. In any event, we will start small with the Tag Team Championships on Sunday night and a big celebration that will surely be very rudely interrupted by The Usos. I’m hoping that not only do they get the victory, but actually get to hold onto the belts for at least a few months. Rusev and English are a great act and deserve as much spotlight as can be provided to them.

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.
