#4 WWE SmackDown teased some new rivalries and partnerships
This episode of WWE SmackDown was impactful, and it didn't have many filler segments. Instead, from start to finish, solid matches filled the show.
One of the most interesting pairings on this week’s SmackDown saw former SmackDown Women’s Champion Bayley team up with Carmella. The pairing seemed to work pretty well together, and SmackDown could continue to keep the two competitors together going forward. They could be a powerful duo in the women's division.
Plus, Sami Zayn seemed to get a few potential opponents on Friday Night. By looking at the recent exchanges between Zayn and Daniel Bryan, one can see that WWE is teasing a renewed rivalry between these two stars. Bryan has already stated that he is looking to become a part-time wrestler, and he could give Zayn a major push in the coming months.
SmackDown could also explore a rivalry between Zayn and Apollo Crews. There already seems to be some tension between these two Superstars. With several possibilities for the future, this week's episode of SmackDown successfully built toward next week and beyond.
